Speaker 1: Times is Jeff Miller, and the OC registers Gilbert Menzano.

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: He shared his observations one week into camp. But first

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: a fun conversation with wide receiver our Tavis Scott in

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: cornerback Trevor Williams. We talked a lot of football, but

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: we also spent maybe a little bit too much time

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: on socks. All right, guys, Day seven of Chargers training camp.

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: In the books, Rams were into building. I got our

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: Tavis Scott wide receiver, got Trevor Williams cornerback. You guys

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: were on separate fields today, So report back what happened today?

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: How it go? It was a great day. It was

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: a very competitive day. It felt good going against another

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: color of jersey finally, finally, man, But we got some

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: good work. Man. It felt pretty good today. Oh yeah,

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: for sure. Definitely the good competition, you know, definitely had

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: to be good at coming out here, going againt some

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: rams you know, that always brings a little juice. You

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: know they're right down the way. But I definitely think

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: it was a good day on the offensive side of

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, just things to work on and

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: just keep moving forward and keep improving every day. Did

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: you guys miss each other going up against each other

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: for the first six days? I ain't missing the day.

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: We needed a break from them. Yea, oh, Ben, that's hilarious.

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: How does it change for you guys when another opponent

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: comes in and just I know it's added juice, but

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: also you're seeing something completely different from you know, the

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: first week of training camp. I would say it's good,

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, because you can work on new moves that

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: you've been working on offseason, you know, try different things

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't know do against our defense because they

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: know everything we're doing with our days. But I think

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: it was it's it's good, you know, just see different

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: faces doing different guys out there and just work technique

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: things you normally couldn't do against our own defense and

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: definitely can help us out and see at that point

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: of view on how player game ourselves yeah, you see

42
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: to leave Peter's wettle in that secondary. That's that's a

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: good group to go up against. Oh yeah, for sure.

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean definitely saying those guys, you know, definitely going

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to compete against them. It was pretty cool. You know,

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: you definitely gonna get U the best best look other

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: than my own team obviously, but it's a good look

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: for those guys. And uh, you did pretty well and

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: trip for you that that passing attack with with golf

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: and cooks and Woods and company, That's that's pretty good

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: competition to go up against. August first, right, Yeah, I

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to get out here get going against those guys.

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: It also gives us a chance to see where we're

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: at collectively as a group. And um, I think we

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: matched up pretty well today. So yeah, I was gonna say, hey,

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: do you think you matched up throughout the course of

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: the two our practice. I felt good about about practice today,

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like it was, you know, a

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: great competitive day, and like I said, it gave us

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: a chance to see where we're at collectively as a group.

61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: For the jack Boys, it's a deep group. Man. We

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: talk about the four all pros um yourself, Mike Davis. Uh,

63
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: what's it been like? Just the competition in the secondary,

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: just making each other better every day. I feel like

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: the competition is making our group better. You know, everyone's

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: you know, trying to perfect that craft and we're holding

67
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: each other accountable, and um, it just has the bar

68
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: high for us each and every day. And I'm fortunate

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: enough to be around a great group of guys that

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: helps us, you know, push us to the limit every day.

71
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: What's it like covering number ten in practice? I love it? Man?

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I love locking this guy up? Man sation? Uh, what's

73
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: the what's the match up right now? Man? Be real?

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: R Tavis? If you am, I even a real I

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: don't really go against it too much, but when we do,

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's is it even battle? I give it,

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: it's even battle, you know. But I try to you know,

78
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I try to protect the team, you know. I want

79
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: to hurt them too bad as well as it for me.

80
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: And I guess on his end, we get some good

81
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: work after practice too. Yeah, that's good. And I see

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: you guys after that's probably you almost get even better

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: work because you're exhausted, right and you just want to

84
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: keep pushing yourself in never to make this team better, right, Yes, sir,

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: without a doubt everything. You know, I always want to

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: get a little extra you know, extra word that can

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: help us out or anything that he sees that from

88
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: my offensive schemes and then from defense and what I

89
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: can help getting me open or what he sees from

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: me that I can work on, you know, and I

91
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: could do the same thing for him. So it's definitely

92
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: good to hear his feedback on when we go and practice.

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: So our Tavis was returning plunts today. I think you

94
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: tripped a little bit right here. It was hilarious. Look

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: you recovered, you recovered. I was going and I was

96
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: trying to slow down, you know, I was trying to

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: be like, you know, all cool, and then I just

98
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: all that crash just chumped up. But he didn't have

99
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: his socks on today. Oh yeah, I mean you know

100
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: what I was gonna get to it, West would just

101
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: go Now the sock game? Is it? You did? It's

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: like kind of taking the lead on that our tape.

103
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: First off, it's no competition. I got the socks every

104
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: single day he came by here and they just blew

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: it all up. But I mean, don't get me wrong,

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: he got a little bit, but it ain't win my game.

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I got some every day if I want to. But

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: I just, you know, I was just chilling out today, Trevor,

109
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: What did you have? That kind of blew up? But

110
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I had the Dragon ball z sis okay, and I

111
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: had the world whereas wal those socks. But that's just

112
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: a casual day for me. You know, he came out,

113
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: he had to let everybody know what type of socks

114
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: those was? The Where's waters? Like fifth strength to you right?

115
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: It's you know or Tavis, you know, being the altime

116
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: receptions leader of Clemson. You know, hooking up with Mike

117
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: Williams again, you already knew what Mike was. But to

118
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: see what he did last year eleven total touchdowns, I

119
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: know Trevor's got to see him in practice. How much

120
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: better can he get in his third season in the NFL.

121
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: I feel like the sky's a limit for Mike, you know,

122
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: he that was just a little bit for me. That's

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: just a little bit last year for him to see

124
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: what he's done. But I think coming up on a

125
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: year three is gonna get even better. You know, last

126
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: year had to split some reps. This year he's gonna

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: start off in the game. So I think this is

128
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: elevate his game up and I think, like I said,

129
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: this guy's and living fight got things going to do

130
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: very well. And Trevor, you see him, you see Keenan,

131
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: you see Travis. Kind of a mix of three different

132
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: types of wide receivers in addition to our you know,

133
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: our Tavis and Jeremy and and Andre. What's it like

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: going up against this wide receiving corps practice? Like, like

135
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: you said, there's three different looks, three different styles. Um,

136
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: definitely going against Mike. He's a big body and he

137
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: has an amazing cash radius. And then you got Kennan

138
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: who can get off the press release and he could

139
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: play outside, he could play in the slot. And you

140
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: got Travis Benjamin who will take the top off the

141
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: defense within a split second. So you definitely gotta be

142
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: on your p's and qs and be alerting on with

143
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: that on the field. You know, the off season for

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: Trevor getting back to twenty nineteen, getting back to full strength.

145
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I know you've worked hard to get to this point

146
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: and the coaches have raved about just how good you've

147
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: looked throughout the off season. What have you done this

148
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: year to kind of to raise your game. I talked

149
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: to you about the boxing. I know you've been do

150
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of boxing too, right, Oh yeah, yeah,

151
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like a poor man's Roy Jones Jr. Right.

152
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: But shout out to your smart partner, Jason right, Jason, Man,

153
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: what up? Man? That's my guy. Man. We've been getting

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: some rounds in the sparring over the past summer, so

155
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: that's how I've been staying in shape. Also, that's great

156
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: man boxing though that's crazy because everybody thinks like, all right,

157
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a three minute round, that's not that three minute rounds real, right,

158
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: that's a long time. Even a minute if you're fighting

159
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: for a minute is a long time. But I definitely

160
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: got some good rounds in over the summer and steady

161
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: doing my normal football drills, you know, getting getting back

162
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: healthy and uh, that was the whole thing for me,

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: just getting back healthy, you know that house with my

164
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: mental Yeah, and I'm just excited to get back going

165
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: and taking off from there. Absolutely. The wide receiver competition, man,

166
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: you got a lot of great guys in that ruin

167
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Mark Tevis, what's it been like just pushing each other

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: every single day? And you know, like I said, we're

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: day seven to camp now, Oh man, it's awesome to see,

170
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, got a group of guys level love what

171
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: they're doing, you know, and we just come out each

172
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: and every day just a working man mentality out here,

173
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: just everybody going to make plays. We know what's at stake,

174
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: but the biggest thing for us is just going out

175
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: having fun. Control we can control, and that's just making

176
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: plays and do what we have to from the coaches

177
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: and the wrest will take care of itself because that's

178
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: how we just keep reminding each other. Just keep keep going.

179
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, make a bad play and missed the past,

180
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, make good plays. We just on

181
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: to the next play. Just keep going. How important is

182
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: it to see these guys again in two days and

183
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: maybe just build off of the successes or or maybe

184
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: if you miss something a chance to kind of get

185
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: back at it in nervite on Saturday. It's gonna be good.

186
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: I mean, after after today's practice, we can see a

187
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: lot about one another and after we're going here and

188
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: correct what we need to correct, come back out here

00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: we get a chance to watch the tape, you know,

194
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: critick ourselves and correct our thanks and go out there

195
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,199

196
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: don't think, guys. Just a message to the fans, man.

197
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: It was a lot of gas, a lot of chargers

198
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: fans here today, man representing over the weekend, and um

199
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: we're kind of halfway through the open practices. But just

200
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: a message to the fans, is you guys keep it

201
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: rolling here in August? I would say, well, thank you

202
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: guys for all the support. We love. It brings out

203
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: a lot of energy from you guys, and we enjoy

204
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: seeing you out here. I know you guys could be

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: doing other things, but you're out here and enjoining and

206
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: practice with us, saying thank you, Yes, sir, thank you guys.

207
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: Both up, bolts up, all right, sock game Saturday. Don't

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: prepare both of you guys. Well, see, I might have

209
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: to go back in retirement man, because I think I

210
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: heard my guys feelings. Because I know I killed them,

211
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: so I killed them so bad. I think I might

212
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: just hang it up. Listen, he wore the socks one day.

213
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: I came back out holding the joker socks and I

214
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: ain't see him no more. I'm gonna put the fans

215
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: on notice. Saturday. Look at Trevor socks. Look at our

216
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: Tavis Scott, look at look at the socks on Saturday.

217
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm coming out. I love it. Thanks

218
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: for sorry. Well, I've wanted to do this for a

219
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: long time, but a little Chargers beat Rider round Table

220
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe become a better name for it at some point.

221
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Miller, La Time, Eric Williams, ESPN, Gilbert Menzano, Ocie Register.

222
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: What's up, fellas? What's going on? Man? I would say

223
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: with three of us, we should be able to come

224
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: up with a better name than that. Yeah, well, it'll

225
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: give us some fun, you know. Again, it's a working title.

226
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: We can brainstorm throughout this conversation as well. I think

227
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: more important things to talk about the rams being in

228
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: the mix today. Would you guys take from this afternoon

229
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: or this morning rather's festivities? No fights? That's that's kind

230
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: of surprised, right, No fights. It was good. I wasn't

231
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: here two years ago, but I heard the story about

232
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: all the wild, I guess, you know, the bruhahas and

233
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: the skirmishes and just just going at it. But today

234
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: it's pretty clean. Yeah. You know, I was there when

235
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: the fight happened, and it was it wasn't like a

236
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: regular fight. I mean, they were all over the place.

237
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: It was pretty intense. And so I when Anthony said

238
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: they were going to scrimmage the RAM this year, I

239
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: was like, really, like, you're gonna do that again. But

240
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the two coaches talked about you know,

241
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the rules and of engagement and how they're going to

242
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: go through it, and Gil's right, it was pretty clean.

243
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was good work for both teams. I

244
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: thought the intensity level was there. You know, the Charges

245
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: that had six straight practices foreign pads, and I think

246
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: they needed to go against that different see somebody else,

247
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: see somebody else. I think it's a great evaluation tool

248
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: for the coaches to get to see their players against

249
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: another team this early in camp, to see, like those

250
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: guys that have popped early, are they doing the same

251
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: thing against different competition. So you know, I think if

252
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: you're a coach Lynn, you're probably pretty pleased with how

253
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: the day went. You get something on tape, Jeff, and

254
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: you can apply it to Saturday too, because these guys

255
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna see each other again a irvine. Yeah, you know.

256
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: We asked Anthony afterward about what everybody impressed him, and

257
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: he kind of dismissed the question and explained that he

258
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the guys who stood out were the guys you'd expect

259
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: to stand out. He's more interested in these guys who

260
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: are on the fringe, guys who you know, lot of

261
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: us are still looking at the roster of their names

262
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: are mentioned names and numbers, so they're trying to figure

263
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: out who, you know, which of these guys are going

264
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: to help fill out the back end of that roster.

265
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: It's it's wild to have a practice like that because

266
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: it's ninety guys times two times of coaching staff. Like

267
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: these guys coming off the field. Three hundred people cover

268
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: off the field. And it was like, kay, I know

269
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: people trying to get players for interviews and sounded stuff,

270
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: but you know, I saw a little bit of the

271
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: seven on seven at the beginning, and you know, Philip,

272
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: it's not breaking news, and he's looks sharp all camp,

273
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: and you know, is coach Lynn alluded to, I mean,

274
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: you expect him to look sharp. You expect guys like

275
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and you know, Mike Williams and Hunter Henry

276
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: to do what they do, but you know some of

277
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: these other guys making some noise. Eric, we're standing next

278
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: to each other. When it was Pope, Troy and Pope

279
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: he was making some plays today. Yeah, he's been one

280
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: guy I've really noticed because his play speed has just

281
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: been a little bit different than the guys he's playing against.

282
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: He seems like he's running away from from NFL defenders

283
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: in the secondary and so you like to see that

284
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: at you know, he's he's all sudden in and out

285
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: of breaks. Obviously he's not very big, um, but he's

286
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: a guy at the back end of the roster. You know,

287
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: he gets some preseason games and he makes a couple

288
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: of plays, and you know, coaches kind of take notice

289
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: of that. So definitely early on, I think he's one

290
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: of the guys that stood out. And then I think

291
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: we were standing together and it was at number eighty

292
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: seven Andrew Bohler made a play in the back of

293
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, there's really only three experience

294
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: tight ends in the roster. When you talk about Henry

295
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: Virgil Green and Sean Colkin. So that's a possible. It's

296
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: a place where you can make some Hey, if you

297
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: can go out there and show that you can make

298
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: some plays, And certainly he stood out as a guy.

299
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: What we were state? We were discussing Weber state? Is

300
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: that did we did? We get a verdict? I think

301
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: it's Utah. I don't know if Jeff could go sign

302
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: with the past. Next questions, where's Weaver State? I think

303
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: it's Utah where David Lillard from the Bladers went. Yea,

304
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: that's crossover. I remember when they were like March madis.

305
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: I think they'd be like unc like like in the

306
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: early two thousand was a fan of the show. He's

307
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty mad at we don't know what charger

308
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: spec Like, why are we talking about three minutes? Well

309
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: it was because of what eighty seven And not only

310
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: did he make that catch in the back in the

311
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: end zone, but he made a catch over the middle

312
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: two a little bit later on UM. So again, he's

313
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: this kind of an example of a back in the

314
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: roster guy that if he continues to make those plays,

315
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: maybe he moves up the depth chart. I confirmed were

316
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: were states in Utah. Moving on to know yil the

317
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver competition outside of Travis and Keenan and Mike,

318
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: to see guys like our Tavis Scott, who we had

319
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: on the podcast earlier today, and uh Andre Patton and

320
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Davis. Um, it's some good work behind the three

321
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: guys that you expect to be you know, one, one,

322
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: A and three and Travis. Yeah, every time I'm seeing

323
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: somebody make a play, I'm seeing who's eleven? Wait, it's

324
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Davis. He's been around the team for a long time.

325
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: I just know this. But he sticks around for a reason.

326
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: He's always making plays, especially when training gaming, so I

327
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: don't for special teams. But yeah, it's kind of a

328
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: pretty loaded competition, which is funny to say. It's it's

329
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: like for the number four spots, So it's kind of

330
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: a competition there because he got three. You guys already said.

331
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, Patten's doing well, our Davis Scott being healthy

332
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: again and coming back and showing off his socks every day.

333
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that he's making plays. He and

334
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Trevor were busting on each other about the side. I

335
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: think Trevor put some side like dragon ball Z says

336
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: out earlier and got maybe a little too much shine

337
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: for our Davis's liking because he does it every day.

338
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: He attention. But he's doing pretty well. But I'm also

339
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: very impressed with Travis Benjamin. He's been around the team,

340
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: but it was questions about, you know, who's gonna be

341
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: that speed guy with Tyrell Williams now playing in the

342
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: Bay Area, and every time I'm seeing Philip Gold to

343
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: the middle or up the field, there's Travis right there.

344
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Yeah, And Jeff Coachlyn talked about that

345
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: with Travis during the off season and say, hey, we

346
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: didn't need him last year because we had Tyrell. And obviously,

347
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, Travis made some big plays in just limited

348
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: playing time last year, but to have him healthy to

349
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: stretch the field, You're starting to see what this offense

350
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: can look like with Hunter in the mix. And then

351
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: a speech like Travis on the field, Yeah, they're gonna

352
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: need that guy. And you know, Travis leash year. He

353
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: was hurt early and I don't know if he ever

354
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: really fully healthy. At the very end of the season,

355
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: he did have a couple of big moments. It really helped,

356
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know Gil mentioned Artavius Scott. You know

357
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: that's a guy who had huge college stats at Clemson

358
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: and all time receptions leader there. Yeah, and you know

359
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Mike Williams talks glowing about what he was like back

360
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: in college, but he just can't stay healthy. And if

361
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, if those both those guys have

362
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: a speed element that that these guys are gonna really

363
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: need because uh uh, they just they just don't have

364
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: it otherwise. So I'm interested to see hopefully they can

365
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: both stay healthy, and especially Scott, I'd really like to

366
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: see what he can do. And if he can, you know,

367
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: he's you know, gonna probably be doing maybe some punt returns,

368
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: kick returns and saturn as well. Yeah, you know, it'd

369
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: be fun to see what he can do and if

370
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, and he might be able to,

371
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, really you know, break some plays that they're

372
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna need. We joked today too because he was doing

373
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: punt retorney he tripped and I think the fans took

374
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: and yes, he broke through, broke clean, and there's right

375
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: around runner midfield and trip. That was like that was perfect. Yeah, Eric,

376
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: being the elder statesman on this beat, right, we just

377
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: two years ago though with coachln coming in his first

378
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: year to now just the business as usual approach. That's

379
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: the one thing I think I've noticed the most out

380
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: of this camp with the Chargers is that there's not

381
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: a ton of um, big competitions, right, I mean, a

382
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: lot of these spots are are largely decided, so to

383
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: see the kind of the matter of fact approach. Um,

384
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: I think it's refreshing this time here to have a

385
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: team that's kind of been there, done, that has a

386
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: lot of goals in twenty nineteen, but all the same

387
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of characters around them to make those goals happen. Yeah,

388
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: just efficient and of how they're valatoy and everything because

389
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: they've been through this process now this will be their

390
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: third time. Um. I think it kind of speaks to

391
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: the depth of the roster that that general manager Tom

392
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: Tlasco has built in terms of not really having a

393
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: whole lot of position battles. A lot of guys are

394
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, etched in that this is going

395
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: to be you know, Mike Pouncey is going to be

396
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: your center, Philip Rivers is going to be your quarterback.

397
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is going to be your number one receiver.

398
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: When you really look up and down the roster and

399
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: offense and defense, there's maybe a handful of guys that

400
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: are competing, seriously competing for jobs. I mean, obviously Forrest lamp, Danfoenie,

401
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: that's a competition at left guard, cornerback, Trevor and Mike

402
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Davis that's competition. A free safety's competition with ray Sean

403
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: and Jalen and nice here and then punter. You know,

404
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: you have a competition between the two ties. You know

405
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the guy that emerges there. Other than that, though,

406
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, guys are kind of locked in, and I

407
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: think that helps you when you're a team that has

408
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl expectations. You kind of know who the guys are,

409
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: so you can really start working to be polished by

410
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the time that regular season game comes. I think that's

411
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of the thing that maybe fans don't understand. Once

412
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: you start training camp year, installing stuff for the first

413
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: game against Indie, that you're working towards that goal. It's

414
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: a slow up that it's definitely a slow ramp up

415
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: to that. So if you're a veteran player and you're

416
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: already on the team, I mean, you really, you're you

417
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: might even already be looking at indie tape trying to

418
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: get ready for that game on September seventh, to get

419
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: any advantage or edge that you can get going into it,

420
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: unlike somebody like Artavis, who's I'm just trying to make

421
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: the roster. That's such an interesting point because it's it's

422
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: almost like it's a ninety man roster, but it's almost

423
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of segmented because you do have the guys who

424
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be the starters. Then you got

425
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the guys who, like, the next few weeks this is

426
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: their super Bowl man, sure like from from weeks one

427
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: to to four, and we'll see how much the starters

428
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: playing preseason. Doesn't sound like it's gonna be a lot. Yeah,

429
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: that's that's TBD. But we kind of got that right

430
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: over the off season with coach lamp. So it's gonna

431
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: be a heck an opportunity for some of these guys,

432
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: like especially if we look at it that safety, that

433
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: free safety position, that that wide receiver position. But other

434
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: than that, man to have a roster this deep, I mean,

435
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: it's gotta be good Gill right going into twenty nineteen. Yeah, Well,

436
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I try making coach Land say are

437
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna see the stars in pre saying he's like having

438
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: this idea. Yeah, so I tried there. But yeah, it's

439
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: a it's a very deep roster. There's not much to

440
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: really uh a nitpick there. But you know, Eric was

441
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: saying some of the some of the position battles, and

442
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, really in trague to say, what what's going

443
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: on with free safety? Because he got three guys right

444
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: there and who guys could be starters and and uh

445
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: Jayleen Watkins and Nazier Adder Leer and ray Shawn Jenkins.

446
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: And when you have three guys, that means you're stacked well.

447
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: And that's where it gets tough because I mean, what

448
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: about Roger team or he had a good off season. Um,

449
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: we talked about Trevor and Mike on that one side

450
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: does at the nickel, I mean not everybody can see

451
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, and again that's a that's a

452
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: good thing for this Charger secondary. But at the same time,

453
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be some good guys that aren't going

454
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: to be on the field. Yeah they there, There definitely are,

455
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: which is which is what you want. You want that depth,

456
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: you know the issue right now free safety of course

457
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: is you know Jalen's not practicing the last few days.

458
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Uh nas has had this hamstring that seems to be

459
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: a thing that's nagging him. So those uh for guys

460
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: like that, for for Adelie, these young guys, I mean,

461
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: he's missing these reps is huge, right, and it really

462
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: it really does. It seems like you know, we're we

463
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: just got into August. There's all that seems like a

464
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: long season. We got all this stuff. But it when

465
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: you it's you get set back. When you're a young

466
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: guy like that, it takes a long time to catch up.

467
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Once the season gets going, there's those reps go away.

468
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Like it's the Justin Jackson last year, but he had

469
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: that hamstring and it took him a while to get

470
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: into the mix during the Mike Williams his rookie year.

471
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: That's right. Another great example. So those guys you said,

472
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: that's their super Bowl. I mean, and we know those

473
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be on the roster. But at the

474
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 1: same time, you know a guy like Adolie, I mean,

475
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: he's he needs these reps. He's gonna this little bit

476
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: of longer. This lingers. It's gonna put him back and

477
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: put him back and then who you know, who knows

478
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: where the season starts, and so these these are really

479
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: important days, even though it seems like we're you know,

480
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: it's still and training camp in this season's a mile away.

481
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: It's it's these are big days. What do you Guys

482
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: mentioned Forest Lamp and he was like, I don't listen.

483
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody is obsessed with my playing

484
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: because it is my name. Yeah, He's like, is it?

485
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: Is it Jeff Miller calling me Forrest Lam? People like

486
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: my name, but it's hilarious if it is good. It's

487
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: great to see him out there though, now, I mean,

488
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: this is this is what I think he expected, it's

489
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: what charges fans expected. And you're one, obviously you have

490
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: an injury you can't control and and a surgery after that.

491
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: That's it's tough to get back to. But it's it's

492
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: good to see Forest out there and getting some of

493
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: those first team reps. He looks like the guy that

494
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: they drafted in the second round and a lot of

495
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: people thought was perhaps the best offensive lineman in the draft.

496
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: You heard I had him at May I had him

497
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: as the best lineman who win the second round, so

498
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: you're starting to see the play strength. I mean, he's

499
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: he's a strong dude. I mean, we've seen him in

500
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: in in run game period. It's just pancake dudes, and

501
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, Like, don't you better get low

502
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go against Forest, because you're just gonna

503
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: get chucked to the ground. So I think for him,

504
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: obviously it's place be and how's his knee gonna hold up?

505
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: And then pass pro? Is he gonna be able to

506
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: hold up in pass pro? Which is so important when

507
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: you have a guy like Philip Rivers that can't really

508
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: move around. He's gonna be in the pocket. You know,

509
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: the fastest way to the quarterback is up in the middle.

510
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: So Canny hold up against an Aaron Donald or guys

511
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: similar to that on a regular basis, you know, day

512
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: in and day out, is the knee gonna hold up?

513
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: But the first week, I mean, I think to me,

514
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: he's been one of the standouts at the camp. We

515
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: hear about his strength, right Palency said he's by far

516
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: the strongest offensive lineman, and I think whizzluded to his

517
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: strength the other day too, m Fellas, I know there's

518
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot to do for you guys this afternoon.

519
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I'll get you out of here on this just in

520
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: observation from the first week at camp. It could be

521
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: from today, it could be from just anything that you

522
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: think is notable that maybe the fans should know. We'll

523
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: start with you, Gill. I think linebackers. They're healthy, they're back,

524
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: and there's a competition now there like a year ago,

525
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: they were playing seven defensive backs and when no linebackers

526
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: are available, and now you got you got Thomas Davis. Now, yeah,

527
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: there's a bunch and now maybe some guys find that play.

528
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: We're starting caliber linebackers and you got Kaiser moving all

529
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: over the place because you want to find a spot

530
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: for that guy, but you're not sure if you could

531
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: play because you've got Thomas Davis now and Denzel I'm

532
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: probably forgetting some names right now, can't your channel the

533
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: more trank go a rookie. So there's a lot of

534
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: guys there, so I'm very intrigued to see how that

535
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of shakes out at towards the enda camp. It's

536
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: funny just going back to January having no linebackers to

537
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: having a lot of linebackers right now? What a I'm

538
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with one player? Um, there's been a lot

539
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: of talk nationally about the Chargers up the middle at

540
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: defensive tackle and are they going to be able to

541
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: stop the run? And Brandon Mebane is thirty four years

542
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: old and are they going to be able to hold

543
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: up to me? The guy that stood out just physically

544
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: the way he looks so much different and how he's

545
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: played is Justin Jones. I think that's a guy that

546
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: that fans just need to really pay attention to because

547
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: every day he seems to make a play in the backfield,

548
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: either in the run game or one on one pass rush.

549
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna be an integral part of

550
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: what their defense does, both in the run game and

551
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: generating pass rush. Because we haven't seen Tillery at all.

552
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, their first round draft pick. He's coming off

553
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: the shoulder surgery. We don't know how much you're gonna

554
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: be able to get early on from Tillery. They're gonna

555
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: need Justin Jones to ball and so far he looks

556
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: up to it pounds. He said that he looked like

557
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: Justin Josephs. He put on weight, and he put on muscle. Yeah,

558
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: she lost twenty pounds. That just goes to show you

559
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: how how different body type. Yeah, his body type has changed.

560
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: He said that. Uh. In April, he went on a

561
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: diet no no pork, no red meat, up up to

562
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: his vegetables and fruit. He said he saw results in

563
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: month one and it's like, why not keep it going

564
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: if it ain't broke? And he said he reported to

565
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: camp at two ninety five last week. So just just

566
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: to see a guy who's willing to do the little

567
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: things in year two to make a big difference. It

568
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: speaks volumes about you, Jeff. Well, we're writers, so one

569
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: of us has to be negative right spring training, and

570
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought against the rams here, you know,

571
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: there's this offensive line has got some some work to do.

572
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that. Anthony afterward acknowledge it. Yeah,

573
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: we're you know, there's there's some good, there's some bad,

574
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of stuff to clean up. And

575
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: so we obviously know Russell o'coon situation. He's not be

576
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: able to play right now, and we don't know how

577
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: long that's gonna be. It could go who knows, I mean,

578
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: this could be a long term thing. And if that's

579
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: the case, they really are gonna need to solidify this

580
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: thing as best they can. They've got to go with it.

581
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: They've got right now. Um and um, I'm sure that

582
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one who is somewhat concerned about

583
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers offensive line. And there's make sure that they

584
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: know they're watching the same thing we're all watching and uh,

585
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: some young guys, and they've just they've got to try

586
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: to piece this thing together and make it work because

587
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: you know, Phillip's grade at getting rid of the ball,

588
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: but he can't be doing that every other time he

589
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: drops by. Yeah. So, um, that's an area that I'm

590
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: sure fans, the Charger fans are well aware of. It

591
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: is something that they're gonna watch. And as these preseason

592
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: games are going, you're watching real closely. Yeah, and it's

593
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a fluid situation. To go ahead. I was gonna say,

594
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: not only pass pro but Melvin Gordon holding out. You know,

595
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to carve out some rushing lanes for

596
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson and and Ecklers some guys that aren't as

597
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: big as Melvin and can't make their own rushing lane.

598
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: So so those guys got to be able to get

599
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: a push in the run game as well as protecting film.

600
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: And they're young guys, and the piggyback off that. You know,

601
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: we talk about Hunter in the pass game, Hunter in

602
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the run game, it could be just as important when

603
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: we talk about the offensive line as it's kind of

604
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: a fluid situation. And you know, we got a long

605
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: ways to go in camp, so I'm sure things are

606
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna change each and every week. But uh yeah, to

607
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: go up against number ninety nine two today, it's, uh

608
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,440

623
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: there's like three hundred people today, so I literally just

624
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: getting to you was a challenge. You know, you were

625
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: you're in to stay. Half those people work for me,

626
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: so I'm glad you're able to get to me. Well,

627
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: I tell you, man, I know you've been to a

628
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: couple of practices already, but it's it's a little more

629
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: juice today with the rams here, and it's just an

630
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: opportunity for these guys to see somebody else, to hit

631
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: somebody else, and maybe kind of scheme practice a little

632
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: bit differently. Yeah. No, absolutely, it was very fun to

633
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: see different faces on the other side of the line,

634
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's hard not to watch that

635
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine on the other side in that dark blue jersey.

636
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Aaron pretty good. Yeah, I've heard some good things. Yeah,

637
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: it was good to finally see him in person. Uh yeah,

638
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: So Aaron Donald seeing different guys the defense offense, seeing

639
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: a whole new look has been real fun and it

640
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: added some man actual spark today. Yeah, so what did

641
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: you see today, because so there's two fields here, just

642
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: for our listeners. The offense was on the near field,

643
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: closer to the where the crowd is, where the stands are,

644
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: and the d was on the other side. What were

645
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: your observations from today would you like from the Chargers team? So, I,

646
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't able to see the Chargers defense

647
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: on the far field, but on the on the closed field,

648
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, offensively, you know, you got to see. You know,

649
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: in the off season they had talked about Dan Phoene

650
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: Forest Lamp, I'm gonna be switching it out that left

651
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: guard spot, and it was a true switch off today

652
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: with the starters and Lamp and Phoenie. It was great

653
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: to see them go against you know, Donald and you

654
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: know it's hard not to take notice of those running backs,

655
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Dietrich Newsom Justin Jackson, Austin. When I was coming in today,

656
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, somebody stopped me. Was like Garreed gargartt kind

657
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: of like papar Rozzi was like, you know, and that's

658
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: that's something. If you're listening here, when you see Chris,

659
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: be nice to him. You don't need to yell at

660
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: him like pop Rozzi. I know he's an important guy,

661
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: but um, he goes, who's gonna start in place in

662
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is an eckler? Is that Jackson is a newsome?

663
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: And the answer to me, I just said yes because

664
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: to me, you saw those running backs running with the starters,

665
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a three man rotation. And when I

666
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: think about, you know, even going back to two thousand

667
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and eight, that Giants team of that Earth winning fire

668
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Jacobs, Derek Warta mod Bradshaw's right, you could do

669
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: a lot with that three man rotation, and I think

670
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: it's good for that offense because you saw it a

671
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: lot today with the starters. Um, you know, being able

672
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: to mix it up a lot, the defense has to

673
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: account for which running backs on the field, You're keeping

674
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: legs fresh. There's a lot of good things to it,

675
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, So, um, seeing those running backs was great today.

676
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: And of course you know, seeing that left guard spot

677
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna be starting when week one? That's good And

678
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: I think at this point in the season, obviously with

679
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: Russell's condition, you just want hidden to be a one

680
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent health as a person, yeah, but to see

681
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line now, it's one of those things that

682
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be fluid as we kind of get

683
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: into preseason action in games. But it is good to

684
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: see Forest Lamp out there healthy, ready to go, Dan

685
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Foenie in year three and to have kind of those

686
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: lynchpin guys like Mike Countsey kind of makes it all go. Yeah, no, absolutely,

687
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: and uh it's nice to see Sam Tevy, I get

688
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: some spot of right tackle, Trey Pipkins in Trent Scott

689
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: on the Outred Scott. Yeah, different team, but yeah, no,

690
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: seeing all those guys on the end. It's nice to

691
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: see some new faces too, because you kind of get

692
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: used to you know, you're always coming on the left side,

693
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: but now it's Trent Scot's turning. It's Sam Tevy getting

694
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, the starters minutes now where he had a

695
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: competition last year with Joe Barksdale, everybody getting starter minutes

696
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: and see them going against the new guys today was great.

697
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it was. It was a lot of

698
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: fun seeing that offensive line and Forrest Lamp, Danfoenie, Schofield

699
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: still there at right guard. That's probably gonna be a mainstay.

700
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was a lot of It

701
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: was very interesting to see that offensive line, the wide receivers,

702
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: the affect at Hunter Henry's back, and Mike Williams, those

703
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: big bodies, say, I took notice of that today. Obviously,

704
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: Keenan made plays, Keenan was doing Keenan things. But to

705
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: have huntered back the dimension of the offense with Philip

706
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: Rivers under the center, it changes a little bit. And

707
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: obviously Tyrolle in Oakland now obviously he was great for

708
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: this team. But what they have here I really do like,

709
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: especially when you have Hunter Henry kind of roam in

710
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, it changes things a little

711
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: bit there. Yeah, no, absolutely, and you you saw it earlier,

712
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, as soon as last week, the first day

713
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: of training camp. He was the you know, the checkdown,

714
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: he was the safety blanket, the things we all remember

715
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry being two years ago. So, uh, it completely

716
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: opens up this offense. And it is like having a

717
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: third wide receiver. Tyron Williamson might not be here, but

718
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: having a guy like Hunter Henry there, having a safety blanket,

719
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: a third down rep and a red zone weapon. And

720
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: what he's doing the run game too. Oh yeah, Oh,

721
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: he's he's an extension of the offensive line. I mean

722
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: he's practically an you know, a sixth offensive line there

723
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: on the edge. No, absolutely in the run game, in

724
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: the passing game, it's great to see, and I you know,

725
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: it's it's been a nice competition seeing you know, Tavis

726
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: Scott makes some plays and Jeremy Davis and Travis Benjman

727
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna take over that spot for Tyroll Williams. It's

728
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna be Travis Benjamin. But it's nice to see those

729
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers later on in the UDFA, Jason Mormack, it's

730
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: a place too. Jason mooremaking plays, especially early in camp

731
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: with with Eason stick At a nice little rapport. And

732
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: then you know guys like Andre Patten making some nice

733
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: snags and Justin had a player too today, So I

734
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: think that's good. There's there's not a lot of competition

735
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: spots on this roster. I mean, free safety Ray Sean

736
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: probably has the early edge right now. But the fact

737
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: that you have Nazio Adelie there and then the wide

738
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: receiver position four or five. Other than that, Garrett, I

739
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: tell you it felt like business as usual coming into

740
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: camp last week Day one. These guys know each other.

741
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: The coaches are the same largely. It's quite different from

742
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: two years ago, where you know, you move here in

743
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen coach Lynn his first year as a head coach.

744
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Things are kind of moving in a positive direction here. Yeah,

745
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of turnover from last year. So

746
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, when you do get on the field, everybody

747
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: knows each other and there aren't a lot of spotsible.

748
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: That's why you know, you do look at the left

749
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: guard spot, and you do look at the free I

750
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: feel like you're talking about there's there's a few, maybe

751
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: a handful of positions open, but everybody else pretty much

752
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: locked in. You got some new guys, some rookies, you know,

753
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: some veterans Thomas Davis, uh, you know, but not a

754
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: lot of turnover. And then you know, everybody's just kind

755
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: of used to it, and it not that they're going

756
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: through the motions, but business is usual. Like you mentioned,

757
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: they get out there and they're all familiar with it.

758
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to believe that we haven't had

759
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: a preseason game yet. Like I almost feel like we've

760
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: been a camp for like two weeks. You know, it's

761
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: just the heat it's dude, it's definitely the heat. It

762
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: was hot today. Over the week, it was hot. I've

763
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: joked with some people that are from Florida though, like, dude,

764
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: you have no idea. Yeah, Adam Kaplan's from Philly. He

765
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: was like, listen, man, it was like ninety five humidity

766
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: so here. Yeah, we haven't made here observations overall for

767
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: the first seven days. I know you've been here a

768
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: few times. Anything else stand out to you? Man, Um,

769
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: there's been a lot. I mean again, you know, the

770
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: running backs out here have I mean, I know a

771
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: lot of people are wondering, you know, who's gonna be

772
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: that starting running back. But you gotta when you get

773
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: out here and see these three guys, that three headed monster, uh,

774
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to watch. Um. You know,

775
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: we talked about Jason Moore making some plays, looking for

776
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: Roderi Teemer, who had a really good mini camp. Yeah,

777
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: looking for him to make some plays. But and you

778
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: know that cornerback too. Another positions kind of open. Trevor

779
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Williams Michael Davis each have an interception so far. They're

780
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: pretty even too. There's you know, there's not a lot

781
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: to talk about because everybody's pretty much locked in, like

782
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: we mentioned, but you know, getting to see some of

783
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: the rookies like Trey Pipkins and hopefully we'll get Jerry

784
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: Chillery out here soon. Yeah, I've seen a little bit

785
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: addedly early on. You know, I've been out lately, but

786
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of good things. And I know

787
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: it isn't the most interesting thing to talk about, but

788
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, it is not a huge turnover, so there's

789
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: been a lot of guys that are still here and

790
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: still a lot of fun to one sometimes boring in

791
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: the off season is a good thing. Oh yeah, absolutely,

792
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: we don't the splash signings and the multiple restricted free

793
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: agents that come in. Yeah, that's fun in uh, you know, June,

794
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: in March and April. But like, but when September comes around,

795
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,799
