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

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: What's up, guys, Welcome into Chargers Weekly. We are presented

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: by SPLITTERO, Chris Heyrey, met Muddy Smith and Muddy I

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: love this time of year. It's March madness, the brackets

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: are here. Maybe it's an opportunity to get away from

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: football a little bit too while kind of keeping your

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: eye on free agency.

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it depends. If you're a team that

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: wants to get away from free agency, then sure it

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: can be a great distraction. If your the Broncos and

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: you're just traded for Jalen Waddle and you think about

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: that pairing with Courtland Sutton, you probably want to stay focused.

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: On your team. You know.

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: It's if you do this every year, right, the first

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: three four days are crazy, and then it kind of

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: grinds and you might get one or two signings, one

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: or two trades over the course of forty eight seventy

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: two hours, and you're just kind of waiting and I

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: don't I think the thing that's tough for fans is like,

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're waiting for, because it's kind

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: of like, yeah, all of these players have been there,

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: they haven't been signed and now kind of it becomes

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: the severe value phase, like, all right, you didn't get

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 3: the you know, you weren't the bell of the ball,

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: and now we're trying to extract as much value as possible.

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: And you know, the Chargers still got sixty million bucks

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: to spend, so it's trying to piece together how we

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: think they're going to spend it.

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: And you know, that's actually a great segue into what

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: I was thinking today, like either sixty million dollars left,

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: how do you spend it? Like what's the to do list?

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: And I guess we should start with the fact that

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: a fan favorite, Tony Jefferson, is back with the team.

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: And that was something that I know fans were excited about.

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: I think just from a culture standpoint, Tony having Tony

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: in that safety's room, what he did at the end

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: of the year. I go back to the Philly game,

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: the Kansas City game. Just good to have a guy

39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: like that in the room.

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think for Tony's signing as well, and

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 3: I had hoped that it was always gonna happen. Tony's

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: always kind of felt like a you know, Chargers or

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: Nothing sort of guy. Maybe the Rams, you know, just

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: wanted to stay in southern California at this particular point

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: of his career. But to me, it like the bigger

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: part of that is, I just don't know if r J.

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 3: Mickens is just starting safety yet. You know, maybe he'll

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: raise his hand in training camp and show, yeah, you know,

49
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: got some splash plays out there. I'm comfortable because, you know,

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: I think there was some rookie sort of learning curve stuff.

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Out there with some splash plays.

52
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: And to me, it's it's kind of like putting Tony

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: in there, you know, to have it be Tony Elijah

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: Derwin kind of makes you feel a little bit more

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: comfortable at least me personally. Like you said, really good

56
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: things tended to happen on the field when Tony was

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: out there.

58
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dalvin Tomlinson was signed after we did our last

59
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: podcast too, just another depth piece I think defensively, you

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: see Hand goes to Atlanta, a Bonia goes to Dallas.

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: So now you have a kind of Jamari and Tierre

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: and now Tomlinson in the mix.

63
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

64
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: Tomlinson, I mean he's huge, you know, he is a

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 3: giant body. So I think, you know, not that Puna

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: and Deshaun Ham and Nikwan Jones weren't. But I just

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: to me, this is a you know, legit nose tackle.

68
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: You know this is a zero and you can you

69
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: know play I just I feel like I say it

70
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: in every game, like, man, tier Tart has the best

71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: get off of anyone on this team. Man, he just

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: knows how to get into the backfield straight off the snap.

73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: And so I think when you have someone that can

74
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: eat up some double teams, maybe you're kind of man

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: that nose and you can have Tart next to him

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: on one side and Caldwell or a boygbe or something

77
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: on the other side. I love kind of the idea

78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: of that, and I think for what Tomlinson does is

79
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: very effective at it. And just you know, the other

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: part of that is like when has it gone wrong

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: in the last two years, Like every know, whether it's

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: Puna or Tierre or hand like it just called well

83
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: as a third round pick that was kind of being

84
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: shaded a little bit when the pick was made as

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: a reach. It just feels like this coaching group, you know,

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: particularly with Mike Elston and obviously it was Jesse Minner

87
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: who's now Chris O'Leary, but they just do really well

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: with whoever they want. And you know, if that's just

89
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: who Mike Elston wanted, then all right, let's let's go

90
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: get it.

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Did you see that picture of him and Keaton Mitchell together? Yes,

92
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: so Keaton Mitchell and Dalvin Thomas I guess with the

93
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: like middle school or high school together.

94
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

95
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: And there was a picture like fifteen years ago of

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Tomlinson who still looks like he's a grown man, yes,

97
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: and Keithon Mitchell, who looks like he's ten years old.

98
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

99
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Keaton's tiny, but he's incredibly fast, you know.

100
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a and.

101
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: It was the Chargers. I think they played for the

102
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: Chargers in Georgia.

103
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 3: It was pretty cool. Yeah, it's very cool. And you know,

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: it's those sort of nuggets that our social media and

105
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: our digital teams put together that make, you know, that

106
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: lead to why you know, the socials and all that

107
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: do so well. And it's it's a funny picture to

108
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: look at it, and it's a reminder that yeah, that's

109
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: football right there.

110
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Man.

111
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: That's a perfect example of what football is. Is you

112
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: have someone that's massive and just a giant among average humans,

113
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: and then you have someone that you would look at

114
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: walking down the street and say, you can play NFL football,

115
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: like you don't get your head caved in when you

116
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: get out on the field. And yeah, both of them

117
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: are really really good at it. And you know, I

118
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: don't know if you want to segue into Keaton, but man,

119
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: what a great signing that was.

120
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Keaton, we saw his speed on display in Baltimore

121
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: six point three yards per carry. And you know, it

122
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: was funny when we saw Mac and Mike McDaniel in

123
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: the in the hallway, they had a piece of paper

124
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: that was blurred out and Mike McDaniel had like a

125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: wanted poster of Keaton Mitchell like I need this guy

126
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: on my team, Like this is a Mike McDaniel guy.

127
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: And the fact that you can pair him with Amarion

128
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: and Kei Mannie. I know you did a little film

129
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: study on both Keaton and Ingold and just to see

130
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: what Keaton can do from Mike McDaniel offense, another dimension

131
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: that maybe they didn't have last year.

132
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did it on Kohler and Ingold. That's with

133
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: the idea of you know, Keaton is part of that

134
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: that that this is you know, clearly the intent going

135
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: into free agency, particularly with the Kohler signing, who was

136
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: a high demand free agent, was we want to run

137
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: the ball, you know, Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh or

138
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: our run first guys, and they expect their teams to

139
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: be able to run the ball, to run a four

140
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: minute drill, drill to close out the game. And you know,

141
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: it's funny because guys, they don't know how free agency

142
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: is going to play out, how the draft is going

143
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: to play out, So you're going to say certain things

144
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: when you're on the dais and say, yeah, our guys

145
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: are great. I don't need speed, It's okay, But then

146
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: when they get the speed, it's like, yeah, here's the

147
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: wanted poster. I need speed because I'm going to dial

148
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: up some plays where if this guy is able to

149
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: get the corner, as you know, if he's even he's

150
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: leaving like he needs a few of those guys, and

151
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: I think Mitchell has the opportunity to. I'd be floored

152
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: if we weren't pretty excited on some future Chargers weeklies,

153
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: you know, following games where Mitchell's got that fifty yard exploses.

154
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean's one of the fastest players in the NFL.

155
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: You're talking about, and I don't even know what the

156
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: heck it means when say, oh, twenty three points seven

157
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: miles an hour just sounds incredibly fast. But I guess

158
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: when they say that he's had like, you know, five

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: of the ten fastest runs in the NFL the last

160
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: few years, that's probably a good sign.

161
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: You know, we've seen reports at the wide receiver position

162
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: that the charges may have been in on Pierce and Shaheed.

163
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: So clearly speed is something that Mike McDaniel kovetz. He's

164
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: had it before. He says he doesn't need it, but

165
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: if he has it again, it's a it's an added bonus.

166
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Let's go through the sixty million dollars of cast space.

167
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: So we know that they have to do with their

168
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: win deal, right, They're gonna have to do a tot

169
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: lead deal. They're gonna have to sign these rookies. So

170
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 2: I guess now between today in the draft, like who

171
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: are they going to target before we get to end

172
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: of April? Like I I have been consistent saying I

173
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: don't think the plans complete, like I think they need

174
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: another veteran guard, potential starting guard. You look at edge

175
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: number three and then you have enough space money for

176
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: a for a surprise move like you, I think you

177
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: got to go for it, right. This is hardball year three.

178
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: You have the cap space. You could probably get creative

179
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: and put some money on the books for this year.

180
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: And you know, whether you redo a two lea or

181
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: derwin deal, maybe you kick some money down the curb.

182
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: But I just think that even though free agency hasn't

183
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: come out the way I think a lot of people

184
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: were expecting the first couple of weeks, there's still moves

185
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: to be made.

186
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the roster is incomplete. I don't know.

187
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: I wish I knew the answer to that. I think

188
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: we kind of felt with the amount of cap space

189
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: they had, with the idea that justin Herbert your quarterback,

190
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: that Mike McDaniel, and this offense you're excited about, paired

191
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: with the defense that you feel is pretty darn dominant

192
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: in each of the last two years, is super Bowl caliber.

193
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's super Bowl or bust vibe. I

194
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: think is kind of what we thought going into it.

195
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: And I think you saw some teams spend that way.

196
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: You know, the Bills trading for Dj Moore to fill

197
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: a need, the Broncos trading for Jalen Waddle to try

198
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 3: to put that last piece on a stacked ross, or

199
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs going out and getting Kenneth Walker, the Rams

200
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: getting their secondary squared away with with Watson and McDuffie,

201
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: And I think then you look at the Chargers and

202
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, we know the history and the school

203
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: that Joe Ortiz comes from. That's just not the way

204
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: the Ravens operate. They don't make big splash signings in

205
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: free agency, and which.

206
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Is why the Crosby thing was a little suspicious, right.

207
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I think so. I mean that that

208
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: whole thing smelled terrible. It's it's you know, I don't

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: think we need to litigate somebody else's business, but it's

210
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: a bad look from you know whatever. And but but

211
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: kind of the so I'm still left just kind of going,

212
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: all right, well, what's what what am I waiting for? Like,

213
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: like you said, is it saving money for a trade?

214
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Is it aj BRA?

215
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 3: But then I look at their draft capital and it's

216
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: like they only got five picks. Like if reportedly the

217
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: Eagles turned down a first from the Patriots for aj

218
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 3: are you going to send them pick twenty two when

219
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: you only have then you'll only have four other picks,

220
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: you know, a second, third, fourth, and six like that.

221
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 3: To me, that doesn't make sense, Like you just don't

222
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: this last year they had ten picks. They sure they

223
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: got half of that. So I don't quite feel like

224
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: that lines up. So I'm not sure. And then I

225
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: look at what's left and it's like, I don't know

226
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: how you're gonna spend sixty million bucks and all that,

227
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: you know, if they do extensions for Derwin and and

228
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: and truly, you know, I guess you could try to

229
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: stack it, you know, heavy on the front end, and

230
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: that's the way you would use the money as opposed

231
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: to typically, or you.

232
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: Can give yourself more money this year and really goes

233
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: for what you know, like you have to make a trade.

234
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that.

235
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: And again the draft capital is not really lining up

236
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: for it to be a trade year unless you fill

237
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: a lot of those depth pieces with what's left over

238
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: on the And look, it's not we don't have to

239
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: you know, talk around it.

240
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: It's the guards.

241
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, right now their guards are Trevor Penning

242
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: and Cole Strange. Now that could be a Mike McDaniel

243
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: thing and a butcher bery thing and them saying, yeah,

244
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: good with that, man, your tackles are dominant. We got

245
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: a center that we think is a top five center

246
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: in the league. We added Charlie Kohler and alec Ingold

247
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: to help this thing work. They're great blockers at their positions.

248
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: In past.

249
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: We have what we think are two really good pass

250
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: pro running backs, and Amario Hampton and Kamani by Dell.

251
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: We're good, don't. You don't need to sink a bunch

252
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: of money at that position. And that's because of what

253
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: we've witnessed with Greg Roman Colin plays the last two years.

254
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: It's clear that that's been, you know, really the eye

255
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: of the storm. It's been the centerpiece of what unraveled

256
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: in those playoff games. And so it's hard, I think

257
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: for us to reconcile. Okay, well, we've watched this twice

258
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 3: now against the Texans and the Patriots, and if that

259
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: was just average, maybe you win those games. Maybe you

260
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: score touchdowns on those first possessions. When you create turnovers

261
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: in Houston on back to back plays as opposed to

262
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: field goals, and when you you know, get a turnover

263
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: at the ten yard line, you punch it in and

264
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: really put the rush around New England because your guards

265
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: aren't letting guys into the backfield. That's the snap of

266
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: the ball. So I think it's hard for us to

267
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 3: kind of wrap our heads around. Okay, we saw that.

268
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: Can we fix that too? Well, you kind of did

269
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: with Mike McDaniel, And he's the one that's the head

270
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 3: coach of the offense that's maybe telling you how we

271
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: want you to spend his money, and it's Charlie Cole

272
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: or alec Ingold Keaton Mitchell, you know, and that sort

273
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: of thing. There's not I don't I don't think you

274
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: can really spend sixty some million bucks on what's left

275
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: out there.

276
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's getting dry a guard. But let's keep

277
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: in mind since that New England game, the play caller

278
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: has changed, the center has changed, Batist coming in, Cole Strange,

279
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: say what you want. Mike McDaniel had Cole Strange last year, right,

280
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: So there's something there with with cole Strange. The veteran

281
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: guard market though, it's it's drying up quick. I mean

282
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: we're down to like Buttonio if he even wants to play,

283
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: he may retire.

284
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: And he may not want to sign until you know,

285
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: he may be that vet that's like, yeah, call me

286
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: a the August.

287
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: So again, we don't we don't know. We're not privy

288
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: to the conversations. But like Zeitler, You've mentioned Zeitler a

289
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: bunch of times. I'll say this about Potonio. He's from

290
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: San Pedro. He's from here, right, So if I mean,

291
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: that's a guy that, like, if he wants to make

292
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: one more go at it, do it at home with

293
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: a team that is in you know, that considers themselves

294
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl contender and be that stabilizing force for

295
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: one year while you draft the guard. The one thing

296
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: that I think that I'd like to see before we

297
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: get to drafted money is just making sure that some

298
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: of these like guard edge number three, maybe another position

299
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: or two that that is taking care of so you

300
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: can actually draft best available player. That's the key. We

301
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: talk about best available player all the time. Well, we're

302
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: getting to a point where, like you have to draft

303
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: a guard, you have to draft an edge. So if

304
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: you can, if you can find a guy like a

305
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Potonio to kind of hold down the forward for a

306
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: year edge three, there's not a lot of edges out there.

307
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: I guess Joey's still out there. Joey bos is still

308
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: out there.

309
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be interesting.

310
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if he would come back, come back

311
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles, but I guess it's just to your point,

312
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: like the these position of need, these position groups have

313
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: kind of dried up here in free agency.

314
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the edge, I think you're in a little bit

315
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: better shape than guard. I do think that. And again,

316
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: I you know, I did a pod yesterday that this

317
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: stuff led me astray. So if they've signed since, forgive me.

318
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: But Jadevian Clowney fits what they do. You know, heavy

319
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: handed edge that can set the edge and give you

320
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: some pass rush and it's probably going to be helped

321
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: if he's on the field at the same time as

322
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: Khalil mcintooley. Like all those other players. I think Cam

323
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: Jordan fits the bill. I think Kyle van Noyk can

324
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: fit that bill. There's there's a handful of guys. Leonard

325
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: Floyd is someone that fits kind of the style of

326
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: play that is in Baltimore. That is Jesse Minner, that

327
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: is sort of what they like. And that's a guy

328
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: that's not going to it's not going to be a

329
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: liability in the run game. It's not necessarily a that

330
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: designated pass rusher isn't really what they look for. It's

331
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: a little bit more. That's why the Oway thing was interesting,

332
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: because he's a little more of that long, explosive athlete

333
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: that really, you know, paid off and that's why I

334
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: thought that they would probably bring him back. Now we

335
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: talked about it, I got a little rich and I

336
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: get it. So when we brought this up at the

337
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: combine at center, we're like, you have to sign a

338
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: center because you don't want to be in a position

339
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: where every team behind you, if they want a center

340
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: knows they're going to jump you, and that second or

341
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: that third round, Well, now you can sit and if

342
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: Slaughter falls to you, or Heck falls to you, or

343
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: Logan Jones falls to you, take them if they're a value,

344
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: because they do need another center, they need a backup center.

345
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: You can't go in with just one. And I think

346
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: you know Koltenberger is sitting there as a placeholder, but

347
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: I think that's a very real possibility in the draft.

348
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: So I think you want to make sure at twenty two,

349
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: if for whatever reason you want to is sliding, you

350
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: know there still may be teams, just teams probably aren't

351
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: going to jump you to get a guard. But I

352
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: think you don't want to be in that position where

353
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: he's that good of a player. There's someone sitting at

354
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: twenty six or twenty eight and they're like, hey, man,

355
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: this is the number three player on our board. Let's

356
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: go get him. And we know we've got to get

357
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: ahead of twenty two to do it. So I think

358
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: in that case, you want to get you know. And

359
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: they just brought Spencer Burford and I know he signed

360
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: with the Raiders, but at least, yeah, they're still bringing

361
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: guys in.

362
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: That leads me to believe that they're still looking for

363
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: a veteran guard, right, you bring a guy like that

364
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: in to at least try out and take a visit.

365
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: The thing about Joanna Man, I just don't think he's

366
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: going to be there. I don't now the more he

367
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: had his pro day yesterday. Pregnant's another guy who had

368
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: his pro day yesterday. And you see these guys, You're like, man,

369
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: they would look good in powder blue. But you know,

370
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: I think DJ mentioned it. Twenty two is such like

371
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: a no man's land draft pick because you'd like to

372
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: either move up a little bit and get the guy

373
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: you really want, or move back, get extra picks because

374
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: to your point, you only.

375
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: Have five, but people don't really want twenty two because

376
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: it's and you know, the one three falls. The one

377
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: thing that they do have going for him is it

378
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: feels like the wider are starting to catch some heat

379
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: that you know, at this point Tyson of his medicals,

380
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: check out if he's sitting there, Cooper, if he's that,

381
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: he's really starting to catch some heat Boston. So like

382
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: there is a possibility where wide receiver tackle that you

383
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: could or one of these edges slides, and and that

384
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: leads a team, you know, it's they're not going to

385
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 3: trade up for non premium positions. It's typically not how

386
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: it goes. It's tackle Blake Miller's sitting there, you know,

387
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: if if Fulton's sitting there like that sort of things

388
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: is kind of what we're what could happen that would

389
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: lead a team to be like, hey, we really need

390
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: to get Like I'm just kind of looking at the

391
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: tackles here on the on the big board. Yeah, so

392
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: like if I'm sorryful Proctor, if Proctor or Miller are

393
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: sitting there, you know, I don't think Freeling's gonna slide.

394
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: I think if Fano slid, they would run that card

395
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: in and take them.

396
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: But I think that tackle guard flexibility and you know,

397
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: and I.

398
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: Think that's why maybe he would slide. He's a tackle

399
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: but he's got short arms, So do you have to

400
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: kick him into guard? And are we going to really

401
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: draft him at twelve if we're not sure about that

402
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 3: with the arm length? So like that's where maybe I

403
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: just don't see it. So I think his arms grew

404
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 3: since the combine. Well that's what kind of the word was,

405
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: is that for whatever reason, the arm lengths across the board.

406
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: A lot of players were complaining that they felt like

407
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: the measurements they got at their colleges were longer than

408
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: what they got at the combine. So that's potentially something

409
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 3: that would I think he's going to point being, he's

410
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: going to be off the board, But yeah, Procter or

411
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: or Miller, and if one of the wide receivers, I

412
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 3: don't think a team would trade up for Sidik if

413
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: he slid to twenty two. And I think the Charger

414
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: might just take him if he were sitting there. So

415
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: that's how you would end up trading out of twenty two,

416
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: and then it makes more sense to draft a bisantis

417
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: or a pregnant you know, a little bit ten picks later.

418
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: Something like that, I think is kind of more of

419
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: how that would line up.

420
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,480

Speaker 2: estimate at splattero dot com. Slash Chargers. You know, I

428
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: was doing this exercise. I was thinking about the Seahawks

429
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 2: and just if you took the Seahawks offensive line this

430
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: last year and you compared it to the Chargers projected

431
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: starting lineup this year, how many players do you think

432
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: the Seahawks would take from the Chargers and add to

433
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: their offensive line.

434
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the tackles, they take, both tackles, you know,

435
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: And I think, but I think that's like, that's the

436
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: one thing about offensive line is it's not necessarily the collective,

437
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: it's where's the weakest point and how weak is it?

438
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: And I think you know that's you know, like when

439
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: I was doing the other when I was doing the

440
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: other thing, like someone's like, oh, now they're just going

441
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: to draft a rookie and drop him right in and

442
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna.

443
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: Expect that to work and worked out pretty well. Yeah.

444
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Alt was already one of the best tackles

445
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: in the league as a rookie. Rashaun Slater was an

446
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: All Pro as a rookie. So yes, you mentioned Gray's

447
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: Abel's probably their best offensive lineman he is as a rookie,

448
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: So yes, you can do that, but it's got to

449
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: be the right guy and every you know, I know

450
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: it's like if I'm if I did it right now,

451
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: I know what's going to happen, because I've done it

452
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: probably fifty times already. And I'm gonna choose the Chargers

453
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna probably do a little bit mid mid

454
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: road positional value because I think they can say they

455
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: draft for need, but you know, they don't draft for

456
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: need and best player available, but they do. And when

457
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: I get into the draft, like it's just you wanna

458
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: has always gone and here he is.

459
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: He's sitting there.

460
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: He's there today because, like I said, Cooper starting to

461
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 3: get some heat. And I think that's the difference is

462
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: Tyson went high, Cooper went ahead. So that's the one

463
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: thing I think that might help that out is it

464
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: feels like this wide receiver group, if Tyson's medicals check

465
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: out that, you're starting to see our friend DJ and

466
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: his top fifty Omar Cooper is starting to jump and

467
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: people are looking at that like, Okay, this guy's a

468
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: freaking national champion.

469
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: He had huge.

470
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: Plays when the chips were down to help his team win.

471
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: And if the Tyson medicals are all right, a lot

472
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: of people think he's the best receiver in the draft.

473
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: So like that's where they could catch a break because yeah,

474
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: like in this one, all the tackles, all the wide

475
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: receivers went, there's really nothing in here that well. I mean,

476
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: theeman going at eleven seems a little weird. So you

477
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: never know what to kind of take away from these,

478
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: But I just I think it's gonna be hard to

479
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 3: find you want to there.

480
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: At twenty two?

481
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, DJ, I guess sclass have full has you want

482
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: to go into the charges. In his latest Mick Draft.

483
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: But and I'll say and again, it totally could happen

484
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: because it's guard. It's not linebacker guard. You know, the

485
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: safeties have to be really really special in order for

486
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: them to go early. And I do think, you know,

487
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: in the case of Caleb Downs, yeah that's gonna go

488
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: you know. And at times they slide like Derwin slid,

489
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: like Hamilton slid like something. So I think that stuff

490
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: all has to line up to get the linebacker to

491
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: get you know, to get the safeties to go ahead

492
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 3: in order to have you want to kind of tumble

493
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: a little bit.

494
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: That's why I'd be floored if they didn't have a

495
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: veteran Garden here before the draft, because you can't. You

496
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: just can't rely on hoping yo, wanna's there, right, You

497
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: can't just that's not how the draft works. And if

498
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: you don't have a guard in tow then it's like, Okay,

499
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: now you're you're kind of forced to get one. And

500
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: there's other needs on this football team, like you know, edge,

501
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: like think about having a Dafe. What a kind of

502
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to say he was a luxury, but

503
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: what an awesome piece he was next to Khalil Intuley, Well,

504
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: now we don't have that right now. Kyle Canard is

505
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: a name we have not talked about once this offseason.

506
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: He played eighty snaps last year, a fourth round pick,

507
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: and that's a guy that you hope can take a step.

508
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: But I don't know if we've saw enough last year

509
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: to think that he can take the step that would

510
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: have the impact that an ADOPHI would happen.

511
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, if you want to do

512
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 3: glass half full on that it worked with a boy

513
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: Be right, he got almost nothing his rookie year. They

514
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: were like, wow, that fourth round pick. You know, how

515
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 3: about the fifth round corners? And how about our you know,

516
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: our third round who was the third round or two

517
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: years ago exactly, Junior Colson?

518
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: So that one didn't work.

519
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: But but Jamari caledwell, it's like, yeah, it worked. You know,

520
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: six sacs, some huge plays, part of the rotation, kept

521
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: the guys fresh. Didn't feel like he was a liability

522
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: on the field. Can Canard make the same jump. I

523
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: think there were enough sort of flashes with a boy

524
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: Be to feel like, Okay, I can see this, I

525
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: can see this coming that we didn't see.

526
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: And they talked about off season about it's put on.

527
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like I don't feel like we've yet to

528
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: see that from Canard. So yes, they need an edge

529
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: and there's gonna be there's going to be an edge

530
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 3: sitting there at twenty two and so then that further

531
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: complicates things with guard and again like just guards. You

532
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: can find guards in the second round. You can you

533
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: know whether it's gonna be Bisontis that slides or Pregnant

534
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: that slides, or Dunker that's there or Brian Parker that

535
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: you can kick inside. Like you're gonna be able to

536
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: find those guys in the second starting caliber guards and

537
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: centers can be found in rounds two, three, and four.

538
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 3: As to play as rookies, I mean not just like, oh,

539
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: let's develop them in two years from No, I mean

540
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 3: you can drop them in immediately. It's just not a

541
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 3: real deep class this year.

542
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: But I don't want to put you on the spot.

543
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: But what would what would quantify as a like we're

544
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: going for trade, Like like what what position group do

545
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: you think is like Okay, this Chargers are they're trying to.

546
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: Win a Super Bowl?

547
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to me, it's probably just a weapon.

548
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: I think, you know, based on what we saw from

549
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel and what he wanted this offseason, right, get

550
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 3: the weapon and Keaton Mitchell sort of like I know it.

551
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 3: You might not think of it as a weapon, but

552
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: Charlie Cole or I need a blocking tight end that's

553
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: got some athleticism, that can stretch the field and the seams,

554
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: that's got sure hands. I mean, you know, he wasn't

555
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: really a blocking tight end at Iowa State. He was

556
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: an athletic, you know, sort of freakish tight end. Me

557
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say freakish, but he was an athletic pass

558
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: catching tight end. So he's got that to him. So

559
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: to me, it's and if the rumors are true that

560
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: they were in on Shaheed, that they were in on Pierce,

561
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: that they you know, kick the tires on AJ Brown,

562
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: that's what it would look like to me. And I think,

563
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: really when you look at what Jalen Waddle landed, you

564
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: know for the Dolphins, I just don't see it, Like

565
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: I can't envision sort of that, you know, three draft

566
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 3: picks including a one like it just it doesn't doesn't

567
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: really line up.

568
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's.

569
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: More of a well, some of these teams that have

570
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: signed all these players or are making these trades, they've

571
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 3: got to figure out how to get their cap right,

572
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: and so it could be one of those cap cap

573
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: visualties that they go Like, I thought Darnol Mooney would

574
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: have been a perfect fit, you know, just speed wise

575
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: and the way you could drop him into the room

576
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: with you know, the big physicality in Trey Harris and Q.

577
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, Mooney's perfect man, and and you know

578
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: that didn't line up. Same thing we talked about some

579
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: of those guards that we thought were, yeah, you know what,

580
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: why Teller Elton Jane is not going to count against

581
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: the comp formula athletic enough and you know, flexibility in

582
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: the case of Jenkin, for whatever reason, it just wasn't there.

583
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: So that then also leads me to that weapon sort

584
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: of thing as opposed to you know, the trading. You're

585
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: not going to trade for a guard, you know, you're

586
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: just going to try to find one out there. I

587
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 3: don't think you're going to trade for an edge, you know.

588
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: There if the Raiders were like, you want to send

589
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: us your twenty two for for Max, sure all yours, man,

590
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't think it's happening though. So yeah, so I

591
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: think you know high you spend a chunk of that

592
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 3: sixty million bucks, that'd be the quickest way. I just

593
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 3: don't know if they would want to part.

594
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: With the capitol.

595
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: But again, if Philly called and said, send us twenty two,

596
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: we'll send you a j Brown, take it all yours.

597
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: And I think it would have to be a receiver

598
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: that's kind of in the middle of their deal, because

599
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: you none of these teams want to pay top of

600
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: the market for a wide receiver these days. DK metcalf

601
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: make it thirty three million dollars a year. I mean,

602
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: that's a ton of money.

603
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: And that's what Brown would want immediately. You would have

604
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: to then add but they've got sixty million bucks, you know,

605
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 3: and and the rest of their wide receiver room is

606
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: on their rookie deals. You know, you'd have to work

607
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: out You got to figure out lad here, you know,

608
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: because he's going to be going into year three and

609
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: then year four. You don't want them get into free agency.

610
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think, but it's a it's a very

611
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: inexpensive wide receiver room, and I think that's that would

612
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: make sense. And I think I don't think any Charger

613
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: fans would have like, oh, now we can't draft you

614
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: wanna if he's there at twenty two, don't care? Got

615
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: aj Brown, That's that's going to solve a lot of problems.

616
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: So that's the one that I kind of look at

617
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: that I think realistically has a chance of maybe being

618
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: put together because they've already explored deal for him.

619
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 2: The the edges that you mentioned are intriguing. I think

620
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: from a wide receiver perspective, it's it's Deebo and Juan

621
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: Jennings are like the two that are out there right now,

622
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: and you know, Deebo doesn't have the speed, but he's

623
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 2: got you know, he's kind of like more of a

624
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: gadget jet sweep type player that I'm sure Mike McDaniel

625
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: has familiarity with when he was in San Francisco. So

626
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: it's like it's it's an interesting piece, but it doesn't

627
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: really necessarily check off that the speed, uh that that

628
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: you would need or you would actually cove it that

629
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: that Mike McDaniel had Miami.

630
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.

631
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so Jennings makes sense like he

632
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: fits and Jennings then I believe would you know, factor

633
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: into that compic sort of thing. And I'm so tired

634
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: of talking about compicks because I truly it's it's not

635
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: something I necessarily understand. I get it you want as

636
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: many bites at the apple as possible, but I'm also like, well,

637
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: you got Justin Herbert, and I sure would like to

638
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: see him throwing the ball the Juwan Jennings.

639
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool.

640
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: So it's like, I don't I don't know how they

641
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: kind of reconcile all of that, but I think, yeah,

642
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: I do think that that room could probably be tweaked

643
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. And I think if you asked Mike

644
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: McDaniel that that that's what he would say. Yeah, that'd

645
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: be kind of kind of nice to get somebody out

646
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: there with some with some speed.

647
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: We talked about Quentin's fifth year option. That's just something

648
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: that also needs to be resolved here in the next

649
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: couple of months as well, Like what are they going

650
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: to do with that?

651
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's that's where another pick could

652
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: come from, if especially if there is a trade for

653
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I understand if you're getting a fourth back

654
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: and you're sending out a first it's not the same,

655
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: but at least it's another pick. And and I think ultimately,

656
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, just kind of the way to do that

657
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: math is to say, hey, if if you're not going

658
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: to pick up the fifth year option, it essentially signals, okay,

659
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: we're going to get a cop pick for this guy.

660
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: What do you think that Coppick's going to be? What

661
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: do you think his market will be? And is it

662
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: a fifth, is it a fourth?

663
00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: Is it a SI?

664
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: Based on the deal that you think he potentially could

665
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: sign if he continues to ascend and become a legitimate

666
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: wide receiver too, then I think that's the trade you're

667
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: talking about making, right, Like, do we take the fourth

668
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: now and or are we going to pick up his

669
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: fifth year option? Or are we having that conversation with

670
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: Q's agent about hey, let's get something done that works

671
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: for both of us, that gives you some financial security,

672
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: gives us a deal that we're really comfortable with. We're

673
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: not going to pick up the fifth year option. So

674
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: if you're interested, here's what our number is. Would you be?

675
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 3: And I think they can maybe sort something out that way,

676
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 3: and then you've got a deeper wide receiver room.

677
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty one is coming to Los Angeles and

678

Speaker 2: five to nine one nine to one nine eight. There's

688
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: so many checkpoints throughout the offseason though, Like it's that's

689
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: why it's hard for Like, I wouldn't want to panic

690
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: if I'm a Chargers fan two weeks into free agency,

691
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: because you have the draft, you have June first, you

692
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: have training camp, and you have during the season, like

693
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: a Dafe was like they had to give him a

694
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: lot of money, like during the season when they traded

695
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: a Lohi. So there's so many different checkpoints to improve

696
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: a roster, and you know, I look at the money

697
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: and like I just think that okay, trade is the

698
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: one way where you could really make a splash, that

699
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: signals like hey, we're going for Super Bowls and Sofi

700
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: Stadium this year.

701
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like let's make a run.

702
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think you know, winning eleven games is great,

703
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: punch your ticket into the tournament. But I think to

704
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: win a playoff game, you've got to have elite players,

705
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: and I think they certainly have some, but you've got

706
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: to have enough to overcome the quality of opponent that

707
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: you are going to face. And I think also the

708
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: other thing is, you know, both of these playoff games,

709
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: they've had to hit the road and got to be here. Yeah,

710
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: it's got to be you got to look at the

711
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: division and figure out if those first if that first

712
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: quarter doesn't get sideways on you against Houston and you

713
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: win that game, I bet this team would have felt

714
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: really freaking good about going into Denver and winning the division.

715
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: I think they absolutely would have felt good about that,

716
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: considering how that game played out with just backups, and

717
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: how prior to that they had beat the Broncos three

718
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: straight times. You know, since Harbaugh took over as coach

719
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: and Minter was coordinating the defense and frustrating Bonnicks at

720
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: least for a good chunk of the game.

721
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: So well, how about you speak the Giants in week four, Yeah,

722
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: you can do that too, but I just think, you know,

723
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: like that stuff gets weird, all goes down.

724
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 3: The defense was flat to start. It was an early game.

725
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: It was you know, unseasonably hot. Yeah, like not debut,

726
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: darts debut, and and so like to me, it was

727
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: it was right there for the taking against Houston. You

728
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: win this game, you're going to go to Denver on

729
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: the division is going to be on the line, and

730
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a home playoff game in front of

731
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: you and that you know, and maybe the number two seed,

732
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: and so like when that kind of got away from them,

733
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, gotta win the division. Man, makes it

734
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: a lot easier to win a game when the other

735
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: team's got to travel. You get to be home and

736
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: play in front of your crowd at that fever pitch

737
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: with the playoff at I mean, we saw what that

738
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: crowd looked like against Houston. Man, it was incredible. And

739
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: so to be able to have that and I think

740
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: you just need better. I think you need you know,

741
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: premiere players, elite players at enough positions in order to

742
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: win those type of games.

743
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Division, you know, the wildle thing happened

744
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: a few days ago. The Broncos literally didn't make one

745
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: in free agency.

746
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: They couldn't.

747
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: They just added Wattle.

748
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they couldn't. They're so far over the cap that

749
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: they just were shedding guys. And they're still a way

750
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: over the cap. I think, if I they're still gonna

751
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: have to figure some stuff out. But my god, they're good.

752
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: Like when you look at that roster, it's so deep,

753
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 3: like the offensive line, the the you know the Jim

754
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: Harball line when he was hired offensive line as a weapon.

755
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 3: Well that's a weapon, man, because they are It's not

756
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: just five. They've got depth behind some of those guys

757
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 3: if they have to deal with an injury. I think

758
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: adding Wattle to Courtland Sutton is as perfect a pairing

759
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: for wide receivers as as you could have. And loved

760
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: what Harvey did his rookie year. You know, I guess

761
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: you could look at tight end, but you know, tight

762
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: end was I thought iv ent Ingram was kind of

763
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: banged up a little bit last year, and you know

764
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: that that can be. It's it's a pretty decent group

765
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: in the draft. I and Sean, you know, Peyton always

766
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: does good things with tight end. So I could see

767
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: them draft in one of the guys in a little

768
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 3: bit of the later rounds, you know, whether that's Rush

769
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: or Stours or whatever guy it might be, and doing

770
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: stuff with him. So like, when I look at that,

771
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: and then when I think about, you know, sort of

772
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 3: where the Chiefs are. They they got hammered pretty hard

773
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: in free agency adding an explosive running back, they still

774
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 3: need wide receivers. Just to me, I think you got

775
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: to you gotta try to keep up with the Broncos

776
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 3: a little bit with how good that roster is. And

777
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: I think you look at the Chiefs and you're like, yeah,

778
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: we feel pretty good about trading punches with them.

779
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the depth. You know, you mentioned the

780
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: Broncos depth of offensive line, and I think that's the

781
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: one thing that that gives me a little bit of

782
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: pause because you obviously are hoping Slater and all play

783
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: seventeen games, right, and that's no questions, you don't have

784
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 2: to worry about it. But two guys coming off season

785
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: ending injuries. I'm I'm as concerned right now with backup

786
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: tackle as I am guard because I just we saw

787
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: the movie last year, and I think that that's what

788
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: is just in the front of the minds of all

789
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: the fans. It's like, hey, if this happens again, Yeah,

790
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: what are we gonna do? Right, So you bring in

791
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: Pipkins and Penning, who both have tackle guard flexibility. That's

792
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: I think that's fine for depth. But I do think

793
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: that there needs to be another guy, you know, you know,

794
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: I remember Joe talking about Branson Taylor and kind of

795
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: the the effort that he put forth in week eighteen.

796
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: So it's a guy that you drafted last year that's

797
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: still in the fold. But it sure would be nice

798
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: to get another tackle and then obviously d to the guard.

799
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Trevor's a guard moving forward. I feel like,

800
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 3: you know, when when they play and it wasn't really

801
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: fair to him, you know, at tackled.

802
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: But it was a Jacksonville game, Yeah, and it was

803
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: just a mess.

804
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: But I think they look at him as a sixth

805
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: offensive lineman and a guard or he may just up.

806
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: I mean he is their starting guard right now. I

807
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: mean he's their starting left guard if you look at

808
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: the depth chart, so like just realistically that's where they're at.

809
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's there's depth. You don't want to look

810
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 3: it's it's not easy. I think when you think about

811
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: last year, like it's very hard to envision what it

812
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: could have looked like or what it should look like

813
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 3: because of how they were on their fifth and sixth tackle,

814
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: like that's now. They did have their starting guards for

815
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 3: over half the season, and I think the question is, Okay,

816
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: do you feel better about Cole Strange and Trevor Penny

817
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: then you do Mackai Becton, who was only available fifty

818
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 3: percent of the time and twenty percent of the fifty

819
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: percent seemed to be dealing with something that you know

820
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: inhibited his play, and Zion Johnson like, I don't know,

821
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 3: I you know, I think that's I certainly feel a

822
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 3: lot better about Biadash and obviously getting Slater and All

823
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 3: back for a full slate, the offensive line is going

824
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: to be considerably better than it was last year. If

825
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: that's what we're going into the season with. It's just

826
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: a question of, Okay, can we get that left guard

827
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 3: squared away and can we get a little bit more

828
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: depth because of all the injuries that this team dealt

829
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 3: with last year to maybe feel better about a team

830
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: that still won eleven games and still had an opportunity

831
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: to make a run into the postseason in the Super Bowl.

832
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: You win eleven games, there's a scheme change as a

833
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: new center, and you get too all pro tackles back.

834
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a pretty good start. Yeah, right,

835
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: it's again it's not complete, and I think we're still

836
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: trying to kind of workshop what you're going to do

837
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: with guard. But like you said, there's sixty million dollars,

838
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: there's five draft picks, and who knows how else you know,

839
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 2: you can acquire talent. You know, there could be some

840
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: cap casualties that come June first that we don't know

841
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: about it, right.

842
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's the game that they play.

843
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: And then there's also you know when the compic formulas

844
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: no all the longer impacted, you know, in that that

845
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: wave of free agency where you don't have to worry

846
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: about that formula being affected.

847
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: So that's also part of it.

848
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 3: And yeah, they've still got a bunch of money, so

849
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: and typically you're not going to sit on sixty million

850
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: dollars like that's not how it works. So there's I'm

851
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 3: sure a number of conversations going on, and the draft's

852
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: going to be interesting because they only have five picks,

853
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: and and that would lead me to think that this

854
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: is a team that's going to want to maneuver around

855
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: this board to maybe pick up one or two more

856
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: picks to try to help build out that depth that

857
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: we're talking about, you know, another corner, another safety, another edge,

858
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: probably another interior alignment. Like there's needs and there are

859
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 3: depth needs here that the draft is going to supplan.

860
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: That's why I wonder if they don't feel like they

861
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 3: can trade out up twenty two, is that pick better

862
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: served being used on, like you said, a big splash,

863
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: a big salary that they can afford to take on

864
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: and get a piece that's ready to help this team,

865
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, win a Super Bowl.

866
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: And do Schefter was talking about how a lot of

867
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: teams are looking towards the twenty twenty seven draft instead

868
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: of this year's draft and trying to get picks in

869
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: that draft. Yeah, and almost kind of opt out in

870
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: a sense of this draft. And I don't know if

871
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 2: it's because mostly because of the quarterbacks, but I mean,

872
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 2: you have some premium wide receiver talent coming in twenty

873
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 2: twenty seven. So that's just another interesting wrinkle I think

874
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: as we get closer, he said, we're probably going to

875
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: see more more trades.

876
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look trade a future one if that's

877
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: what it takes. If you only got five this year

878
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: and you want to do that for next I mean, ultimately,

879
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: it's where do you think you're at? You know, where

880
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: do you think you're at as a team, And like

881
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: you look at what Miami's doing and how they're you know,

882
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 3: that's a team that feels like they're a couple of

883
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 3: years away. So let's a mass a bunch of draft

884
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: picks and let's get this thing ready to pull the

885
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: trigger on the quarterback that we draft next year and

886
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: make sure that everything's set. Or maybe it's going to

887
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: be Milik Willis and you know he shows us enough.

888
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: But like that's and what the Raiders take. They're giving

889
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: them much to work with on the oven though they're not.

890
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's what the Raiders are doing with

891
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: with Max Crosby. Yeah, like let's get that fourteenth pick

892
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: and maybe that's Joanna or maybe it's you know what,

893
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: a tackle, and let's get everything set from Mendoza to

894
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: be taken care of, or maybe it's a wide receiver

895
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 3: and and so yeah, you couldn't maybe find yourself being

896
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: able to take on salary and offering a twenty seven

897
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 3: to one as the.

898
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: Way to do it.

899
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 3: But again, I think for people that are freaking out,

900
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 3: they're not going to sit on sixty million bucks. It's

901
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: gonna get spent. How it gets spent is what we've

902
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: got to figure out.

903
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: We're just we're trying to figure it out here. Yeah,

904
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: but there are guys in house, and you forget like

905
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: Darwin's got to get paid, right, Tully is there's a

906
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: reason why Daffy left and a twenty three year old

907
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: Tully twey Poalotu still here and probably about to get

908
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: a number, Barkie. Yeah, yeah, big number, big number.

909
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt anything else? Brother, all good? Man, Yeah,

910
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: all good?

Speaker 2: Who's Who's good?

912
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: By the way, it's not Saint Patrick's day.

913
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: I just I love this hat and I've worn it

914
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 3: all week and I will wear it all week, and

00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 3: so we're not recording this on on Tuesday, so uh

00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 3: great hat. Yeah, I just I'm gonna keep it rolling

00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: Who's uh, Who's gonna win the national Championship?

919
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 3: No idea, Arizona. I don't know, man, You just doing

Speaker 3: always get Big ten colored glasses when it comes to this.

922
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 3: And you know, Ohio State's already got bounced by a bucket.

923
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: The Big ten tens to suffer the most heartbreaking losses
