1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touched up.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: What's Up?

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 3: Guys.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Welcome into a week five edition of Chargers Weekly, as always,

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: joined by the voice of the Chargers, Matt Muddy Smith

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: Bolts will host the Commanders this Sunday bounce back spot

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: for the Chargers Money after losing to the Giants twenty

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: one eighteen, Daikwon Jones gonna join us in a few

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: minutes to talk about the game, and I look ahead

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: to Washington, but Money has just rewind a little bit.

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: After that first drive by Jackson Dart, I thought the

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: defense was great. When you have fourteen penalties and two interceptions,

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna do yin.

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 4: Look, I'll go back to the pregame because I had

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: a chance to meet our friend Mike from Splittero, so

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: a shout out to him. To Mike, it was great conversation.

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna drink from my Splitterio mug again. He commented

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: on how much he liked all the swag. He's like, yeah,

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: you guys got the coffee cups and I was like, ah,

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: it's wonderful. So tip of the cap to him for

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: helping us aline the content studio. But it was a

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: beautiful day, it was warm, there were great vibes, and

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: then the game started and the opening drive. You know,

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: you have a drop on third down that I think

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: really could have changed the complexion of that game if

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: you can drive down the field, score a touchdown and

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: put some pressure on the Giants, you know who defensively

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: coming in. The metrics were not kind to them. You know,

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: they they had not obviously you saw what Dallas was

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: able to do to them. You know, the Chiefs number

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: was a lot lower, but teams have been able to

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: gash him on the ground, and I just you know,

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: I think unfortunately that drop. Now you have a three

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: and out and we obviously know what happened on that

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: that opening drive, and I think it it just when

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: you've got a young quarterback and a young team, that's

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: that's kind of got some energy in the stands because

39
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: they changed some things and people always get excited. We

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: know it well with Herbert and what he did in

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. I think you just kind of you could

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: have pushed him on the mat and you kind of

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: let him up, and I think it got away from

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: a little bit there at the start, and it really

45
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: could of kind of changed the complexion of that.

46
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: Game, especially you have a rookie quarterback. It's scripted like

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: they knew what they were going to do going down

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: the field, and obviously an eighty nine yard touchdown drive.

49
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: You take that out.

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Though.

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: The defense I thought was really really good, But the

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: biggest blow came on that third series Joe All goes

53
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: down when you know, I put him in the list

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert, Derwin James guys, you really can't afford

55
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: to lose, and you can't afford to lose Joe alt

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the first quarter and then have

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: to kind of kind of rebound around him. And we

58
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: saw it last week or two weeks ago, rather against

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos, Justin Herbert getting hit got hit a bunch

60
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: again twenty six times in the last two weeks, and

61
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: that was just I think part of the reason why

62
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: he was maybe a little bit off. There's two interceptions

63
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: probably contributed to that as well.

64
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think you know last year when you

65
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: go through the schedule, the Chargers were exceptional in ten

66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 4: AM games, ten AM Pacific games. You know, the only

67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: one they lost was the one against the Steelers, and

68
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: that's the one that Herbert tried to play through a

69
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: high ankle spring. But outside of that, Charlotte Denver, I

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: should say Charlotte, New England forty to seven. That was

71
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: a ten am game. I mean, you had Cleveland with

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: all the interceptions on Jameis Winston. Like the Atlanta, they

73
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: got the victory. It's not an issue. Felt like an issue.

74
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: It felt like this team just it didn't look like

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: anything I'd seen from them last year. The penalties they

76
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: came in with fifteen for one hundred and seven yards.

77
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: In this one game they had fourteen for one hundred

78
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: and seven yards, and it was all over the place.

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: It was six on offense, it was six on defense.

80
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: It was some critical it's just some some procedural penalties

81
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: that lead you to think that things just aren't quite

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: as tight as they should be. Two on special teams,

83
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: like it was just kind of off things.

84
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Right, I want to ask you this, do you think

85
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: again this is it's coming from me, so it's not

86
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: excuse making. But like we talked so much about these

87
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: first three games, right, it was a very physical game

88
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: against the Broncos. You get to three to zero in

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: the division, it's almost like you can kind of breathe

90
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: a collective cyber detail and then you come back. And

91
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: then again it's when you lose Joe Alt in the

92
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: middle of first quarter, that's not a good sign. Because

93
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Giants defense. They've been bad across the

94
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: board except for getting after the quarterback, and that's the

95
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: one thing that really kind of did it.

96
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: In the Chargers yea.

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: And I think that's the sort of one thing that

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: when you lose Alt in the middle of a game,

99
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: you know where maybe you're not thinking about that adjustment

100
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: because you have Alt and you feel pretty good about

101
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 4: giving help to the other side, and we're just gonna

102
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: let justin continue to carve these teams up. And you

103
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: think about what the second half looked like against Denver

104
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: and how they're like, you know what, we got to

105
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: lean into Herbert here and he delivered, you know, And

106
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: so I think, if if all stays healthy, maybe that

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: plan works. But when you look at the box and

108
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: you're like, man, that's really weird. They only ran at

109
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: twelve times. You know, Herbert's getting pressured fifty percent of

110
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: the time. Again, he's taking another twelve quarterback hits Amaran

111
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 4: seemed like he was running the ball pretty darn well.

112
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: And it's twelve carries and you know, one of them's

113
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: a fifty four yard touchdown. So I think what you'll see,

114
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 4: you know, this week against the Commanders is is getting

115
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 4: that number up. Because the one thing that I noticed

116
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: in this game that didn't happen in any of the others,

117
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: and it became a national talking point is Chargers are

118
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: running play action as much as any team in the league.

119
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: It's working, and yet they're not running the ball. And

120
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 4: so I think, you know, Brian Dable and his staff

121
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: looked at it and they were like, uh, yeah, we're

122
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: not We're not taking the cheese on the on the

123
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 4: play action because they didn't. They just pinned their ears

124
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: back and they got after it and they and all

125
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: play action did really for Herbert was just you know,

126
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: even kind of make it less time for him to

127
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 4: get rid of the ball before he took a shot,

128
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: and he took some shots again, as you as you

129
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: talked about. So I think that's I think in order

130
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: for play action to work, they're gonna have to run

131
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: the ball. And I feel pretty good about them running

132
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 4: the ball. Based on what we saw on the limited

133
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: carries from Mamara.

134
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: It just has to be more balanced. It just that's

135
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: the simple thing, you know. Justin Herbert ran the ball

136
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: one time he had that that twenty four yard and

137
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: that was a rushed down the sidelines. That was it,

138
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: which is amazing when you consider the amount of times

139
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: he was pressured. He didn't just take off or run

140
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, you know, Q eight for ninety eight.

141
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: This is becoming something very consistent with Quintin Johnson. It's

142
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: been awesome to see Keenan five for thirty seven, Ladd

143
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: one for eleven on six targets. We've seen drops, We've

144
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: seen the full body of work from Ladd. I'm in

145
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: no way concerned about laddi mcconukey, But after a game

146
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: like that and the way that Keenan and Quinton have

147
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: gotten going, I think the first four weeks, I feel

148
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: like a lad mccaukee game is going to come sooner

149
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: than later. And I'm sure he's probably a little I

150
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not saying he's pressing, but you know

151
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: he's probably not used to not getting the ball and

152
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: performing in spots that he did last year.

153
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I thought that was the game. I thought

154
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: the Giants game was going to be the Ladd mccaukee game,

155
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: just kind of based on watching what they do and

156
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: what they don't do, and what their sort of limitations

157
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: had been in those first three games. It was lining

158
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: up to be a big Ladd game, and for whatever reason,

159
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: it was just weird.

160
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: Again.

161
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: It was like, it's just a weird game. You know,

162
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: five targets, two drops, one catch for eleven yards. It

163
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: was a very strange game on that front. But I

164
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: think what you'll see and what you know, it helps

165
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: that lads a man beater, you know, and Keenan's a

166
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: man beater.

167
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: So like if they there should be a quick.

168
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: Game available to Greg Roman and Justin Herbert with this

169
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: offensive line, you know, with it's snot beat out of

170
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: it right now. You know, hopefully Mikyle will be able

171
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: to go. That'll be a huge boost. And then it'll

172
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: be interesting to see how they want to play that

173
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: left tackle position because you know, Austin Deculus was forced

174
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: into there with the injury to Alt and you know

175
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: it was a rough go and so I think it's

176
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what the answer is there. So

177
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: Herbert has at least a little bit of time, you know.

178
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: The nice thing is they have a full week to

179
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: draw it up, figure out what the game plan is.

180
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll Disley's back. You know, that's going to go

181
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: a long way. Same thing from a Giants game. It

182
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: was just odd to see the Tucker Fisk snaps. It's like, man,

183
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: you would have thought, especially with Joe going down, let's

184
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: get a little more Tucker out there. He's such a

185
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: good blocker. And I think you'll see that because it is.

186
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: It's it's hard when it happens in game. You know,

187
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: you're just kind of everything's coming at you and you

188
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: have a game plan and now you've got to adjust

189
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: and you're trying to figure it out and get everybody

190
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: on the same page.

191
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: And so I think with the full week it'll help.

192
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: And I would suspect if Will's healthy, we'll see a

193
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: lot of Disley and Tucker Fisk out there.

194
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, the two biggest names on the

195
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 1: injury report to monitor Mackay Beckton.

196
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Will, no doubt.

197
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: If you have a week to prepare for kind of

198
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: a rushing attack and how you're going to protect Justin Herbert,

199
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I think that that's one thing versus in the middle

200
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of a game trying to figure it out on the road.

201
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: So the defensive line of the Giants, you know, Abdul Carter,

202
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Cyon Burns. I mean, those guys were getting after justin

203
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: in a way that we haven't seen in quite a bit.

204
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we knew Denver going into oh yeah,

205
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: but this is the one unit of the Giants that

206
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: I think took full advantage of the Chargers deficients.

207
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: Well, and it's it's just odd, right the way it

208
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: worked out, because going into the game, I was watching back,

209
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: you know, every snap, you know, and I was like,

210
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: of Abdul Carter, and I'm like, this is weird. Why

211
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: are they playing abdu car you know, Carter off the

212
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: ball and at lineback. They weren't lining them up at edge.

213
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden they unleashed him in

214
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: that Charger game and he was on the line of

215
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: Strubge and he was moving up and down that line

216
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: and he's a real issue. And it's very reminiscent, you know.

217
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: And yeah, they're both Penn State linebackers that are taken

218
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: top five and or you know, Micah was taking whatever eleventh.

219
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: But it was very reminiscent of what the Cowboys did

220
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: with Micah. They're like, oh, this guy can do so much.

221
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: He's a Swiss army knife. Let's play him a let's

222
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 4: stand him up and let's play him off ball, and

223
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: let's put him at the end. And it's like, no, man,

224
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: just tell him to rush the passer. And Mike of

225
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: course turned to the best pass rusher or at least

226
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 4: one of the two with Miles Garrett in the game.

227
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: And I think that's what the Giants figured out with

228
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: Carter is Yeah, we've got an embarrassment of riches with

229
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 4: Burns and Thibodeau and Lawrence on that line, but that's

230
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: just where we're gonna put him. And man, he he

231
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: was a he was a wrecking ball.

232
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Marion Hampton. Yeah, listen, the fifty four yard touchdown was

233
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: one thing. That eighteen yards scene and best run up.

234
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: See.

235
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know the last time a land

236
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: liked that, to see a rookie come alive like that.

237
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: And again this was only on twelve carries. He's done

238
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: it and back to bad games. Now as you come

239
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: goes out, you know a Marion needs to step up.

240
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: And again, this is a this is a player who

241
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I think will have a big say and whether or

242
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: not they win or lose on Sunday.

243
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, I think if if Son Haskins and

244
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: Kamani Vaidel are going to be active, they got to

245
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 4: carry the ball like they've they've got to because I

246
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: think part of the the situation is they don't want

247
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: to put too much on a marian and have him

248
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: carry because he had to carry the heck out of

249
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: that ball in the Denver game when Naju went down

250
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: because they didn't have anyone else. But I think when

251
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: you go into a game with three backs that are active,

252
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: you know they got to pick up some slack there

253
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: and carry some loads. So a marian's more effective with

254
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: the carries he gets.

255
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: These are big boy carries too.

256
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the thing.

257
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's like three carries in one Yeah.

258
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: So like that's that's kind of the again, going into

259
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 4: the Commanders game, something that that I think you need

260
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: to see and we saw Hassan and granted more of

261
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: it was in the short yardage game and in the

262
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: passing game last year when you had that big reception

263
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: against Denver and took it. But I think that's something

264
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: that just has to come together, you know, otherwise they're

265
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: gonna have to look somewhere else for some answers, because

266
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: you can't go through the season with that low number

267
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: of carries in a game with one person carrying the

268
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: ball at the running back position and nobody else getting carries.

269
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: So I think you're going to see some either Hassan

270
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: Haskins or Kamani vay Dell. And then also I think

271
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: you know you saw in the Denver game, and you

272
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: saw it again in the Giant game, like just use

273
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: that pass as an extension of the run game and

274
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 4: you get a little bit more of that action in

275
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: the flat because we see Lamarin can make guys miss.

276
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: He's a load to bring down. You mentioned a third

277
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: and one play, and so I think that's that again.

278
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 4: It's it's also why it's like, man, that's just kind

279
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: of odd that they didn't because even after that, I

280
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: feel like after that fifty four yard carry, if I

281
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: remember right, I don't have the play chart in front

282
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: of me, but I feel like they had a three

283
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: and out after that where they didn't even run the

284
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: ball once, where it was three passes on one of

285
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: those on one of those, and that was after the

286
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: fifty four yard touchdown run.

287
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

288
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: It was a quick three and out, so it was

289
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: incomplete short left, incomplete, incomplete.

290
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was after the run. That was the

291
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: beginning of the fourth quarter. It's very strange that they're

292
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 4: not leaning into it. And I think with Makai back,

293
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: if he's back out there, that's going to help a lot,

294
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 4: because man, he can really it's fun to watch the

295
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 4: film with him in the run game and he can

296
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 4: toss some dudes.

297
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: After the touchdown, it felt like, because they were playing

298
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: from behind the entire game, it felt like that was

299
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: the play that was going to actually get the Charge

300
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: back into the game and they were going to end

301
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: it in the fourth quarter. You mentioned that three and

302
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: out at the beginning of the fourth that, you know,

303
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: just I don't know why you don't continue with Amarian

304
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter the way that they did kind

305
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: of at the end of the third.

306
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think defensively, just you know the one

307
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: thing that yeah, they shut him down and they had Look,

308
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: they started two drives inside the Chargers five yard line.

309
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: You know, that's where eleven of the twenty one points

310
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 4: came from. Outside of that, they only allowed ten but

311
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: I think by design, the way the Giants were playing,

312
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: how they believed in their defense and that their defense

313
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: was going to be able to limit points on the Chargers.

314
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 4: They played it very conservatively, conservatively, and the one thing

315
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: they did was they picked up first downs, man, and

316
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: they picked them up on the ground. Like when you

317
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: look at the box score and you see eleven rushing

318
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 4: first downs, I think that kind of it's the twenty

319
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 4: one points eleven from inside the five yard line. I

320
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 4: think that's how a lot of people will explain it away.

321
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 4: But then there's a flip side to that, and that's

322
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: by design that this is a team that converted nearly

323
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: fifty percent of their third downs. They did it on

324
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: the ground. They did it in a physical manner, and

325
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: I mean, like you don't see eleven rushing first downs

326
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: often in a game, and that was something they were

327
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: able to put together. And I would assume the Commanders,

328
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 4: you know, with Jaden's knee and with no Terry McLaurin,

329
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: that they're gonna want to, you know, probably do some

330
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: running the ball with Crosskey Merrit with some short you know,

331
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: they haven't really been throwing short at all. It's been

332
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: very deep it's been very deep action for them, and

333
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: so I think you're going to probably start to see

334
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: a little bit of that Samuel Debo, you know that

335
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: the Deebo sort of shorter yard after catch type of stuff.

336
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 4: And look, that's what the Charger's majoring. It's like, that's fine, man,

337
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: keep it underneath. We're happy to to give you that stuff.

338
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: You're not going to get the explosives. So I think

339
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: that's a match and hopefully they can kind of get

340
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: back to it.

341
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: The Commanders currently don't have the personnel to go deep.

342
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: They have this rookie Lane from Virginia Tech who's a speedster,

343
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: but in terms of tracking the ball and it's that's

344
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: just not his specialty.

345
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: Which is weird because you see their a dot and

346
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: it's it's it's wild. It's like some of the deepest

347
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: in the league. And that's even with the backup quarterback

348
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 4: in Mariota.

349
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: I know, hey, real quick, before we get to na Kwon,

350
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: it just we should talk about Tooley's performance. Oh yeah,

351
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean it was unbelievable before sacks, and I just

352
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I remember him coming as a rookie and learn it

353
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: from Khalil and Joey and just you know, flesh forward

354
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: a few years. He's that guy now and h you know,

355
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: nak One's going to talk about just what it meant

356
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: to him to see it, but it was it was

357
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: pretty special to watch Tuley do what he did on Sunday.

358
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, and remember he had that

359
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: Remember he had the November to remember, you know, and

360
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: when he had that dominant month.

361
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: But we felt like it was coming, you know.

362
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: I think we even talked about it here maybe like hey,

363
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: he's got seventeen pressures and no sacks, Like that's that's

364
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure. He's not got twenty four to

365
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: least top five and pressures in the league now. And

366
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: it's not like it was. Ah, it wasn't a one.

367
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: It wasn't just from last week. Let me just get

368
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: his total last week on his pressures because of the

369
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: twenty four last week seven, so prior to that, you know,

370
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: he's got seventeen. He's averaging over four pressures per game,

371
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: which is a big that's Micah Parsons, Miles Garrett territory.

372
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: So we were feeling kind of this was coming from

373
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: Tuley and and look, they need it. I mean they

374
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: with no Khalil. They they needed an edge to get

375
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: after it. That the interior of the line's been good

376
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: all season long. They've been getting some pressures, some sacks,

377
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,239
Speaker 4: you know, when you look at the tier Tart pressures,

378
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 4: the Caldwell pressures, He's got a sack, you know, things

379
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: Toshan Han like that should lead to edge production. And

380
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 4: I think you finally kind of saw the fruit of

381
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: what's been building here through these first three weeks. And hopefully,

382
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: you know, he can continue. I think Cosmi might be

383
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: coming back for this one for the Commanders, but you know,

384
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: they got some issues on that line, and I think

385
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: you can, you know, outside of Laramie Tunsel, who's been

386
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: great because he's always great, kind of those other four

387
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: positions you can you can eat and so I think,

388
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: you know, there should be some opportunities out there for him.

389
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like Cosmi maybe another week away. I

390
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: think they opened up his window. But again, this is

391
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: the guy who hasn't played since that he got hurt

392
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: in the Detroit game. Yeah, so yeah, probably that that

393
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: offensive line for Washington, you can you can do some

394
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: things on them. Speaking of let's just keep the defense

395
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,120

Speaker 1: and Nicko we were just talking offline, just you know,

405
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: tough loss on Sunday. You gotta flush it, you gotta

406
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: move on.

407
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah absolutely, I mean, uh, just a long season, camerly

408
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: dwell on the losses. You know, nobody's gonna feel sorry

409
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 5: for you. So every week you got a team coming

410
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 5: in wanting to beat you, you know, so you can't

411
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 5: dwell on the loss. You gotta just move forward.

412
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of got you know, different teams, different looks.

413
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: You know, you play a lot of snaps against against

414
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: the Raiders and then Broncos Giants.

415
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Just kind of take us through what your.

416
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: Duties are, your tasks are what's asked of you, because

417
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: certainly the Giants look a lot different than anything else

418
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 4: we saw up to that point.

419
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

420
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean, no matter how many snaps or reps

421
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: you get, and your job description is to as a

422
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 5: defensive tackle, stop the run, effect the quarterback. You know,

423
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: specific plays are when you it's not all it's not

424
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 5: glamorous all the time. You know, you're not always gonna

425
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 5: make that splash play, that big play, but you you

426
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 5: you have within your job description to take on these blocks,

427
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: take on these double teams and free things up for

428
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: you know, the guys behind us Troy Dayon like and

429
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 5: and that goes such a long way. You know, when

430
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: they're able to play free and Deyon can float around

431
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 5: and have ten twelve tackles like, that's that's great. You know,

432
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: that helps the team win. And that's what we need.

433
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Talk about the room a little bit, man. It's it's

434
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: one of the position groups on this team that's super deep.

435
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys can go five six deep on

436
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line. What's with the competition, Like in the room,

437
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: it's just a kind of the camaraderie.

438
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: Uh, The camaraderie is great. Honestly, And you know, I

439
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 5: started my career off in Tennessee. Tart was h Tart

440
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 5: was there, Deshaun was there. So these are these are

441
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: guys I've seen me earlier in my career and it's cool,

442
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 5: like full circle moment for them to you know, I'm going,

443
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 5: I'm in year five now and it's cool to be

444
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: able to play with these guys again. It's great relationship,

445
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 5: great vibes all throughout the room. Everybody just wants to win,

446
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: you know, and when you have a group of guys

447
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 5: that all have the same goal, you can accomplish so

448
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 5: much more.

449
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: You know it.

450
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 5: It's not a selfish room at all. Nobody's trying to

451
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: put themselves above the team. Like it's all just guys

452
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: who are like literally on the same track trying to

453
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 5: go in the same direction. We want to win. We

454
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: want to win the division, we want to win the

455
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 5: super Bowl. And I think that's the mindset of everybody

456
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 5: in the room.

457
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 4: For the people to listen and watch, like, it's great

458
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: when you you know, you can kind of walk people

459
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: through it because you mentioned double teams and like that

460
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 4: Raider game, man, you're getting double teamed all over the place.

461
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: So can you just kind of share, you know, what

462
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: it means to take on a double team, what your

463
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: task is, what you're supposed to do, you know, and

464
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: how you're supposed to kind of help out those other

465
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: guys as you're occupying to dudes.

466
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is like I would explain it

467
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 5: to my sister, my grandmother.

468
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: He's perfect. You have.

469
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: You have a gap, and I mean that is your home.

470
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: That is your gap.

471
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 5: You own that gap, and you got a couple of

472
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 5: three hundred pounds plus guys trying to remove you from

473
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 5: that gap.

474
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: You gotta do any means you gotta do.

475
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: You got to man that gap.

476
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: You have to man that gap.

477
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: Sometimes you don't get lucky and have a secondary gap

478
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 5: that you could kind of play into. But I mean

479
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 5: pretty much, you got two big guys trying to push

480
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: you out of the area. You have to stay within

481
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 5: that area to make the play or to help, you know,

482
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: free somebody else up to make the play.

483
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: And that's the best I can explain.

484
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, christ wanna fall up because there's so you

485
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: have that and then there's I think my favorite play

486
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 4: that I've that I've watched the Yours this year you're

487
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 4: playing like a zero and your your face up on

488
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: the center.

489
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: What's the swim move?

490
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: Man?

491
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: Where why can't we get more of these swim moves?

492
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: Because you put a swim in.

493
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: There and you have moss dead to rights for like

494
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: a five yard loss.

495
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 5: I love it, and I love when we get put

496
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: on little movements and we're able to make stunts and

497
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: you know, I get to really show my cleticism and

498
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 5: show like how how good my feet are, and you

499
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 5: know how quick I can be. It just we I

500
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 5: mean there are a lot of players where like we're

501
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: able to show off that ability, but just being able

502
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 5: to switch it up and change it up, you know,

503
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: Like of course, typically every play you're gonna be it's

504
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 5: gonna be physical, it's gonna be a battle. You're gonna

505
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: have to hold up a couple doup, you're gonna have

506
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 5: to hold up a double team. You know, you're gonna

507
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 5: have to strike somebody, stay within the gap. But then

508
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 5: when you get that freedom and that ability to move

509
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: or make a stunt, like you really want to showcase that,

510
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 5: you know, you don't want to make yourself a one

511
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 5: dimensional player. And I feel like I surprised a lot

512
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: of offensivelignment with my size and being able how you know,

513
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: how quick I can move to the next gap.

514
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: You know, and take out that that first drive by

515
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: the Giants. I mean, you guys kept Jackson starting that

516
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: offense and check largely most of most of the game

517
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: with a with a quarterback like that who's mobile. We

518
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: saw it with Mahomes in week one. We can see

519
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: it week five against Jadan Daniels. What's the biggest challenge

520
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: from your perspective in terms of kind of checking a

521
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: guy with that mobility.

522
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are always It makes it a little bit

523
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 5: tougher on the defense. I know in that first drive,

524
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 5: I rushed kind of up the field on that touchdown

525
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 5: play when he's able to scramble through the middle, and

526
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: you know, I should have probably played power and I

527
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 5: just put more stress on the guys behind me.

528
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: You know.

529
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 5: So going into games where quarterbacks are super mobile, you

530
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: always want to you always want to have a rush plan,

531
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 5: and you always want to work the entire defensive line.

532
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: You want to work as one, you.

533
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 5: Know, communicating just like the outside guys like Tuley or

534
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 5: Bud or if they're going to take an inside move,

535
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 5: you have to be ready to cover them to make

536
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 5: them right, especially with a mobile quarterback like Jayden Daniels.

537
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: He likes to eskatee more to his right or left,

538
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 5: so you have to make sure you really are disciplined

539
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 5: on that side of the ball or I mean, he'll

540
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 5: be able to bleed you through the middle, you know.

541
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 5: And we've given up a lot of run yards as

542
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 5: far as with the quarterbacks, So I feel like moving forward,

543
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 5: that'll be a big emphasis for us.

544
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: What changes when because you know, we that heavy front,

545
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: and I love that heavy front so like and it

546
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 4: was odd to see that light front quite a bit

547
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: against the Giants. But when it's you, it's DeShawn, maybe

548
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 4: it's Tierra or could be called well and especially when

549
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: you get a boy b at that edge. Just kind

550
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 4: of if you can help us sort of give us

551
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 4: the idea of, like, what's the difference when it's when

552
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 4: it's that versus maybe just you and colwell and then

553
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: you got like Caleb and Tullia's the edges.

554
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: How does that change what you're asked to do?

555
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 3: Uh?

556
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: I mean, you still have the same responsibility, but it's

557
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you got bigger guys out there.

558
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: You know, you have a little bit more support.

559
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: You know, as far as that that wall you want

560
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 5: to build on the front, on the front line. You

561
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 5: know when nig go kind of lighter box, lighter front,

562
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 5: like two D tackles instead of three, maybe you you

563
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 5: you kind.

564
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: Of loosen up a little bit.

565
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 5: And you you still have the you st have to

566
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 5: maintain those gaps, but you also are put into a

567
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: different you have to put into a different perspective. You

568
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 5: might get more passed, you might get more you know,

569
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: it's it's all.

570
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 3: Instinctual, and you know it.

571
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 5: Like I said it, it helps to have that extra

572
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 5: guy out there because you know you have a little

573
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: bit more support. But ultimately, I mean he used to

574
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: have a job description. You used to have to do

575
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 5: your job, you.

576
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Know, Nick Kwan, I look at the performance of Tully

577
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: on Sundays. I believe, yeah, four sacks, a ton of pressures,

578
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: career high tackles. But that's a team effort. I mean,

579
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen without you guys. What was it like

580
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: watching Tully kind of in real time do what he

581
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: did on Sunday?

582
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 5: I mean it was a great feeling, you know, like

583
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: him doing that makes me feel like like I was

584
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: doing it, you know, like he he he worked so hard,

585
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 5: like and you know, obviously Mac being down for a

586
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 5: little while, he steps up in ways like he's he's

587
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: still a younger player, but you would never tell the

588
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 5: way he's a professional. He handles his business like he

589
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't him having games like that. I

590
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 5: feel like, is the football God's kind of blessing him

591
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 5: for how hard he works throughout the week. You know,

592
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: I practice, he's running to the ball every play, He's straining.

593
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 5: He's so like, how do you not have that success

594
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: in the game if you're really like going all out

595
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 5: all throughout the week. You know, like he he practices

596
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 5: like it's a game every day, So I would imagine

597
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: being in the game, it's kind of slower for him.

598
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: He's able to make those plays.

599
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, like Chris said, it's a product

600
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: of you know, the interior, you know, forcing the quarterback

601
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 4: off a spot into where it rotwue. He might be

602
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: the one thing I've noticed in watching all your snaps

603
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: back is you seem very mindful of just you know,

604
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: engaging holding your gap, but also keeping an eye for

605
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 4: the bad it pace. It seems like the bad it

606
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: pass a big thing with you. You got that one

607
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: in the Raider game, you were sure to let everybody

608
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 4: know that you got it. But it does seem like

609
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: that has that always been Is that a is that

610
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: a Jesse min or Mike Elston thing? Or is that

611
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: something that you've been coached to do, you know, as

612
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: a responsibility and something to keep it because this really

613
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 4: for us the prior regime, we were constantly saying, why

614
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 4: are there not more bad it passes? And it feels

615
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: like it's been a big emphasis with this group.

616
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

617
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean and everywhere I've been, you know, that's

618
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 5: that's been like a big emphasis.

619
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: Like if you're not gonna if.

620
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: You can't get the quarterback off the spot, or if

621
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: you're not gonna get the sack or get the hit,

622
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 5: like you gotta find the ways to affect the quarterback

623
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: in different ways, especially with us being taller than the quarterbacks,

624
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 5: and you know, if we're right in front of them,

625
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 5: put our hands up and you know you got reached,

626
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 5: like you're gonna affect that pass. Like even if you

627
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 5: don't bat the ball down, he's gonna have to adjust

628
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: the ball to get it to the receiver without you

629
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: know you're trying to like bat the ball down, so

630
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 5: I feel like that's always you know, you're not gonna

631
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: get the sack every play. You're not gonna get a

632
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: pressure every play. Like the offensive lineman get paid as well.

633
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 5: You know they're good, some of them are really good.

634
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 5: So you gotta just find different ways to affect the

635
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 5: quarterback in those situations.

636
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: I think you talked about this in the off season,

637
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: but maybe just take our fans and viewers through just

638
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: kind of your free agency journey and why you landed

639
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: on the Chargers and just how it's kind of matched

640
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: what you expected. Maybe in the off season it was.

641
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 5: I mean speaking like obviously when I was in Arizona

642
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 5: last year, we played the Chargers.

643
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: Now you wrecked them.

644
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: Maybe George saw that, dude.

645
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

646
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 5: That was a really fun game, and especially seeing their

647
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 5: defense Tier getting an interception, like you know, guys flying

648
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 5: around like that. Obviously I wasn't like looking at their

649
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 5: defense at the time, But that's a fun defense. That's

650
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 5: something you want to be a part of, you know,

651
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: you want to you want to be a part of

652
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 5: a confident defense, a loud defense. Guys are yelling, communicating

653
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: with each other, flying around like celebrating with each other,

654
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: like you you always want to be a part of

655
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 5: something like that. And going into the off season, I

656
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: was speaking with Tierre a lot, and he's like, Bro,

657
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: you're gonna have a good opportunity here. You're gonna love

658
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 5: it here, Like so I had no doubt that this

659
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 5: is where I wanted to be, you know. And then

660
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: obviously they signed Deshaun at the same time, so I

661
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 5: was like, Oh, it's like it's like home. I know,

662
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: buds here, you know, Elijah's here. Like a lot of

663
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 5: guys that I played with earlier in my career, you know,

664
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 5: are here.

665
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: That's why you played with Button Tennessee, right, Yeah.

666
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, so at Elijah, Elijah, Molden, Murphy, you know, so

667
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 5: a bunch of guys, you know, and it just feels.

668
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 4: Like home Tennessee West Money that I was just gonna say,

669
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, they love guys that played with the Titans.

670
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: I don't know what the system was there and how

671
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 4: it matches up with Jesse, but Michigan State guy you

672
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: started with with marked Antonio and then melt Tucker just.

673
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Kind of the right.

674
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 4: People always say Michigan Ohio State, but I don't think

675
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: they recognize how gnarly Michigan Michigan State is. Just kind

676
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: of what was it like going up against Michigan? And

677
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 4: do you ever have any conversations with some of the

678
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 4: guys here about that?

679
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Maybe the head coach, Oh, yeah, I talked.

680
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: I yeah.

681
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: So when I first spoke with coach Harborough, I let

682
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: him know and he's like, well, we're not trying to

683
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: win bowl games here, We're trying to win Super Bowl.

684
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 5: He's like, we can get over that. We can look

685
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 5: past that, you know, and just messing around. I'd like

686
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 5: to wear my Michigan State hoodie around the building a lot, right,

687
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 5: And every time I see Hassan, I kind of give

688
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 5: him a hard time about it.

689
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: You know, I beat him a couple of times. But

690
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: those are.

691
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: Always fun games, especially being here and just being around

692
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: the like the coach your eyes. I haven't never gone

693
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 5: to Michigan, but just being around all the coaches and

694
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: you know, it really starts. It's a very professional atmosphere,

695
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 5: very like family oriented atmosphere.

696
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: So it's I can see.

697
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 5: Why people go to Michigan, but not me, but I

698
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 5: can see a lot of people would have enjoyed going

699
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 5: to Michigan.

700
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: That christ here went to Northwestern back to high school?

701
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: So did they did they not recruit you?

702
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: Like?

703
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 5: Nah, they did a little bit, but it was right,

704
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: I kind of want to do it. No, I kind

705
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 5: of have my mindset on Michigan. Stayed pretty early. I

706
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 5: committed pretty early, and from there it was just kind

707
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: of I knew that's where I wanted to be.

708
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to get away from home too a little.

709
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, like a four hour drive and you know,

710
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: not too far, not too close.

711
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: But it was I'm happy I made that decision, you.

712
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Know, big my last one for me.

713
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

714
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: We were just talking about the bounce back, right, Yeah,

715
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: take me inside the locker room after a loss in

716
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: just kind of the maybe the sense of urgency in

717
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: the locker room to kind of get back in the wind.

718
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: Cal I mean, we're not in a spot where we're desperate.

719
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: You know, we know the capability of this team and

720
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: we know that. I mean we started the season three

721
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: and oh, so we know what it takes to be successful.

722
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: You know what it takes to win. You know, it

723
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 5: obviously is disappointing. Guys are upset. You know, everybody hates losing.

724
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: You know, and I feel like that's also another thing

725
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: and why I feel like this team would be so

726
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: good because people hate the feeling of losing, you know,

727
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 5: the leadership in the room, in the locker room, Durwin,

728
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 5: you know, dayon like they they really don't like to lose,

729
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: you know. And when you have captains and you have

730
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 5: people that are competitive like that, they push everybody to

731
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 5: be you know, a certain standard and to like you said,

732
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 5: just flush it, move forward. Even with practice yesterday, you know,

733
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: practice like today it's gonna be. People are trying to

734
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: do everything to not have that feeling again, you know.

735
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: So guys are pushing themselves even harder this week to

736
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: make sure Sunday we can come on with a w.

00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: The shirt is even cool. I almost wore the shirt.

779
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 5: The shirt is cooler, but the hoodie is right to

780
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: the point.

781
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,600

Speaker 1: the building and just you know, just keep it by.

799
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: He was an active Week one. That's how deep they

800
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: have been at defensive tackle.

801
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it just goes to show you

802
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: competitors welcome. You know that here's someone who signed a

803
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 4: free agent deal. You've got Tito in house. There's a

804
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: lot of competition for the interior of that line. You

805
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 4: got a rookie that was drafted in the in the

806
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 4: third round, and you know, Jamari's getting a ton of snacks.

807
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: Who are my best guys, That's who's gonna play. And

808
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 4: I think Nake one has flashed and there've been some

809
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: you know, we didn't get into everything with him, but

810
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: it's been impressive. He's he is sort of the you

811
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: know bTB is they like, you know, it's a he's

812
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 4: a burst of the ball guy. And when you see

813
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 4: tackles being made, he's a big man. He's got a

814
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: lot of weight to carry around out there and he's

815
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 4: chasing bo Nick's out of bounds on a scrambled, chasing

816
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: Gino out of bounds on a scramble.

817
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: He does not let up.

818
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: And so I think that's you know, it's not just

819
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 4: making the play, but it's also a contagion. It's something

820
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: that that spreads throughout a defense. It's like, all right, well, Nick,

821
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 4: one can can drag his three hundred and thirty pounds

822
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 4: and what am I doing?

823
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: You know?

824
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: And so I think he's really good at that, and

825
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 4: I think that's one of the reasons why it's earned

826
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 4: him a lot of snaps. And Jesse Minner and Mike

827
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: Elson got a lot of options, you know, they can

828
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 4: rotate these guys. We talked about the heavy front versus

829
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 4: that light front. Like I said, I really I like

830
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: that heavy front, and I think it's just it's very

831
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: reminiscent of Baltimore, what they do with their edges and

832
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 4: their active interior defensive lineman. I feel like that when

833
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 4: you get the three bigs and if a boy or

834
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 4: if it's two with a boy b as the edge

835
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 4: and Tully like it's just a it seems to produce

836
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 4: a little bit more than going light so I would

837
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: expect that we're going to see a little bit more

838
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 4: of that in this game especially, But you're gonna need athleticism,

839
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 4: right because you know, like he said, Jaden likes to run.

840
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to have some you know, Caleb's quick

841
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: enough where he can track these guys down, and so

842
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see how they rotate those guys

843
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: because they're gonna have their hands full. I mean, Jaden

844
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 4: with the ball in his hands is a nightmare.

845
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's electric, but he's coming back from a kneeedge. Yeah,

846
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: so that's the big thing. I think you have to

847
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: assume that he's gonna have his full mobility. He may

848
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: wear a brace, he may not, but I know that

849
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: he's been wearing a brace this week during practice. It

850
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: sounds like so it's almost like a tail of two teams.

851
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: You have the first two games with Jaden, who wasn't

852
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: overly spectacular.

853
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 2: In Arga, Mariota was better. Yeah.

854
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they up twenty seven points against Atlanta

855
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: and lost. It's really their defense has been kind of

856
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: kind of an issue. But offensively, no, Austin Eckler, it's

857
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: I got a three headed attack at running back led

858
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: by Bill Krosskey Merritt.

859
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, seems like he's starting to get featured a little

860
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: bit more and more like they're gonna end up going

861
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 4: he's a good back.

862
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a good back. Chris Rodriguez and McNichol, I think,

863
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: or the other two, and then not having Terry McLaurin.

864
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: You're I think you're starting to see kind of the

865
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: struggles on the outside with Washington, and you know, Deebo

866
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: is probably going to be featured a heck of a

867
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: lot more, as you alluded to before the Nakuon interview,

868
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm intrigued to see how they're going

869
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: to come out and just how healthy Jayden is with

870
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: that need.

871
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, to me, I'm going to assume that he's fully healthy,

872
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 4: because I just don't know why you playing with how

873
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: well Mariota's played. It's like, what's the point of putting

874
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 4: him out there if he's not one hundred percent go?

875
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: So I'm just that's the way I'm going to operate, because,

876
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 4: like I said, Mariota, you could argue it has been

877
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 4: better in his two games than Jayden was in his

878
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: two games. Just how well he's playing and Mariot's a

879
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: guy that's given the Chargers fits in his past, so

880
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 4: you know we know it well. Yeah, I think, to me,

881
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 4: the bigger deals the other side of the ball. I

882
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 4: think for the Chargers just because of their their injuries

883
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 4: on the offensive line. You know, we talked about the front.

884
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 4: They don't have a lot of pressures, but they can

885
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: get it from the interior with Theron Payin and they

886
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: get it from the edge of Doran's Armstrong. Outside of that,

887
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 4: there's really not a whole lot. But man, their secondary

888
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 4: has been a problem, like it's it's.

889
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Marsh Latimore is a shell of themselves. Yeah, compared to

890
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: what we saw in New Orleans.

891
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the safeties have been a serious issue. And so

892
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 4: I think with how well that that q and and

893
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: Ladd and Keenan have played as a trio, I think

894
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: just can you give them time, like can you give

895
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: Herbert time to get that ball out there, because it's

896
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 4: been it's very reminiscent of, you know, a certain time

897
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: in a certain place where there was a lot of

898
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 4: point in going on and a lot of poems.

899
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: To the area.

900
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 4: You feel like there's a lot of that that's been

901
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 4: out there, and I know, Dan Quinn's kind of taken

902
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: some responsibility for that in the press this last week

903
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: about kind of what's going on on the back end.

904
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 4: But when you got a healthy justin Herbert, you know,

905
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 4: throwing it around, and you've got that trio of receivers

906
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 4: who are also healthy, to me, there's there's an opportunity

907
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 4: to put up some points in the passing game. And

908
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 4: that's where running the ball comes in. Complimentary football, get

909
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 4: that play action working again because those safeties, man, their

910
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: eyes are in the backfield a lot, yeah, and they

911
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 4: are they're giving up some explosives because they just they

912
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 4: get nosy and and nobody can take advantage of that

913
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 4: better than Herbert.

914
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: You know, with these receivers, you don't know.

915
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: If it's a combination of all like scheme versus also

916
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: just kind of the age of some of these players too,

917
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: like Bobby Wagner, What are the greatest to do it?

918
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: But Bobby Wagner is pretty old and he's one of

919
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: their better players, I know, and he's always on the field.

920
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: The thing about last week, they give up thirty four

921
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: points to the Falcons who were shut out by the

922
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. I think four hundred.

923
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: I mean they make look like an all pro.

924
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pennicks like twenty of twenty seven, three hundred yards easy,

925
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: Like it was like a walk in the park. So

926
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: that's the biggest key, and it's so obvious. Can you

927
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: protect Justin Herbert? I think if you get Makai Beckton Beck,

928
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: you get Will Disli back, and you have a game

929
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: plan for protecting Justin. Maybe get the ball out of

930
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: his hands a little bit earlier, maybe get lad involved early. Yeah,

931
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: and then find opportunities to take your shots downfield. Because

932
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: to your point, like guys been wide opening against that

933
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: Washington second Theary.

934
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I'm glad it's at home, you know. I

935
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: think it's when when you look at our schedule, when

936
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: you look at the schedule and the way it lays out,

937
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 4: you know, next week we're back to a ten am game,

938
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: ten am game in what's possibly going to be an

939
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: incredibly hot, humid, very similar atmosphere, very similar weather to

940
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 4: what we had in New York. I mean it was

941
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: unseasonably not warm, hot, like scalding hot down on that

942
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 4: field for a ten am game. And you're gonna get that,

943
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 4: you know, how Miami is you know they've got the

944
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 4: visitors bench right there in the sun for those one

945
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 4: pm coach in Miami time. It's brutal and so good

946
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 4: to have this one here and not on the East

947
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 4: coast again, you know, in the district. So look, I

948
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 4: think the matchups there, I think the matchups are there

949
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 4: for the Chargers to take advantage of. Like we said,

950
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 4: you know, with no McLaurin, you don't really have someone

951
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 4: that can take the top off. We know how Jesse

952
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 4: Miner likes to play, to keep the lid on things,

953
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 4: keep everything in front of him, rally and tackle. His

954
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 4: team does a great job of that, batting balls of

955
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. The one thing they've been victimized

956
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: by repeatedly is the quarterback scramble. You know, Mahomes did

957
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 4: it in Brazil. Even Gino got a couple of them

958
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 4: who who normally doesn't run around against the Raiders. And

959
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: then we know bo Nicks, you know, got a few

960
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: as well, not to mention what happened with Jackson Dart.

961
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: So I think it's just keep that under wraps, and

962
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 4: I think it lines up pretty well for him.

963
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: How do you do that? Do you do put a

964
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: spy on Jayden, I mean you got a great spy.

965
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you've got a great spy and dayn

966
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 4: But you know, we saw like on that on that

967
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 4: last drive when they were trying to get as much

968
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: clock as possible, Dan was spying, you know, Dart and

969
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 4: what happens at tight end just kind of snuck out

970
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 4: right into that green behind him in the middle of

971
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: the field for that first down completion that you know,

972
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 4: took another minute and a half off the clock and

973
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: gave him almost nothing left.

974
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: To work with.

975
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 4: So and and you know, zach Ertz is a pro.

976
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 4: He said, you know, he might be an old guy,

977
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 4: but he's still an old pro and he knows what

978
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: he's doing out there. Super Bowl champ and and so

979
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: I think you still have to be wary, but yeah,

980
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 4: I would probably be more comfortable with having a spy

981
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 4: in this game than not having one.

982
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: You know.

983
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: One of the things that that you could point to

984
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: last week as well was just the time of possession.

985
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: The Giants control time of ten minutes Man and the

986
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: Commanders were one of the best in the NFL that

987
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: last year. That hasn't really come to fruition this year.

988
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: But if you can get Jaden off the field. He's

989
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: three and outs. I think Green Bay was able to

990
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: accomplish that in that Thursday night game Week two. Is

991
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: just keep him off the football field. Don't let them

992
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: have these sustained drives where they just they're killing clock,

993
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: they're getting six or seven, because you know, you look

994
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: at what Jackson Dart did too, Like even after that

995
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: eighty nine yard drive, there were some drives where it's

996
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: just kind of dunking and duncan you know Moliague Nabors

997
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: was out of the football game. Camp Scataboo would get

998
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: five six yards and they just they'd kill clock. And

999
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: that's really why they won the football game.

1000
00:41:58,920 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

1001
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 4: I mean it was ten extra minutes of possessions thirty

1002
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 4: five to twenty five. Ultimately, I think you know, like

1003
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 4: to me with this game, the best way I can

1004
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 4: maybe summarize it is, you know, like what do you

1005
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 4: want to believe? Do you want to believe the first

1006
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 4: three weeks or do you want to believe last week?

1007
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: That's ultimately what it comes down to you, right, because

1008
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 4: last week was so out of character. It was a

1009
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: top five defense on third down that performed like one

1010
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 4: of the worst defenses on third down. It was a

1011
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 4: top five defense in the red zone that had and

1012
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 4: granted the issues with the red zone were a little

1013
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 4: bit different, but you know, you think about that eighteen

1014
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 4: yard run from Jackson Dart that didn't look anything like

1015
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: we've seen from this defense in the first three weeks.

1016
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: You know, the first three weeks, like I said, penalties

1017
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 4: fifteen for one hundred and seven and that one game

1018
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 4: fourteen for one hundred. It was just such an out

1019
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 4: of character game. And I think if you are able

1020
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 4: to and I'm not saying you have to shove it aside,

1021
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: but if you can, it's like, look at those other

1022
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: three weeks and then apply that to the Commanders versus

1023
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 4: the Giants game to the Commanders and getting off the

1024
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 4: field on third down? What was the Bronco game and

1025
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 4: then was like two for thirteen they were on third down,

1026
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: Like they just have to get back to being who

1027
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 4: they are. And that's a really good third down defense.

1028
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 4: A team that limits you and you're gonna have to

1029
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 4: you know, your defense is going to have to perform

1030
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 4: or you're gonna lose the game because you're not gonna

1031
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 4: score a lot of points. And I still think all

1032
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 4: of that's in there in the defense, I think that's

1033
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 4: as bad as as injuries have taken their toll on

1034
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 4: the offensive line, defense is still for the most part,

1035
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: you know the team that we came into the season

1036
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 4: with and they can get after it.

1037
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: Seventeen game season two though. That's the one thing I

1038
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: think that it's it's probably important to stress to people

1039
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: who are watching. This is like, like you're gonna have

1040
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: adversity in a seventeen game season. This is the first bout,

1041
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: and just because you lose to the Giants, your season

1042
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: is this is like this guy's not falling. Like I

1043
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: hear so much about like, Okay, well, what are they

1044
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: gonna do? Is there enough depth across the offensive front?

1045
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Do you think that Rashawn Slater paying him ninety million,

1046
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: like and Joe All going out and Makai Becton going

1047
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: out is like a personnel is like those guys were

1048
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: supposed to be in a game, right. You pay for

1049
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: Shaun Slater to be one of the best tackles in football.

1050
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: He unfortunately goes out with an injury. Joe All goes

1051
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the first quarter, and McKay

1052
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Beckton didn't play so Okay, you're three and zero in

1053
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: the division. You stub your toe in New York. You're

1054
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna have that throughout a seventeen game season. It's just

1055
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: it's about kind of withstanding some of these storms and

1056
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: finding a way to win and get another week closer

1057
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: to getting Joel back or getting McKay Beckton back. So

1058
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: it's just you feel that since this panic after a

1059
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: loss to the Giants, with like forgetting that you just

1060
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: swept the division in the first three weeks.

1061
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, I go back to what

1062
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 4: Anthony Lynn used to say, and that was, you know

1063
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: that he breaks the season up in quarters, you know,

1064
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 4: and the Chargers had a three and one first quarter.

1065
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 4: You know that projects the twelve or thirteen wins on

1066
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 4: the season. Can they get another three and one, you know,

1067
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 4: potentially a four and zero second quarter.

1068
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: It lines up.

1069
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 4: You got three games at home, you know, this one

1070
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 4: against the Commanders Cold Spikings on Thursday night. Your one

1071
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 4: road trip game is to Miami. It's ten am start.

1072
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 4: But it's a team that struggled so far this year.

1073
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 4: They just lost Tyreek Kill for the season. So the

1074
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 4: second quarters of the season has lined up pretty well

1075
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 4: for him starts with this one, and I think maybe

1076
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 4: more of the panic Chris, to me, like, is a

1077
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: little bit more about because coach Harbaugh has preached it

1078
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 4: offensive line. Offensive line all starts. What unit on the

1079
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 4: team doesn't need anybody else, but everybody else needs them.

1080
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 4: Like when you hear that and you're like, oh, wow,

1081
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: now they're down both of their all pro tackles. Don't

1082
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 4: know how long all it's going to be out for,

1083
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: but it's going to be you know, for a minute.

1084
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 4: And they're down their big free agent, their biggest free

1085
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: agent signing in mcguy Becked And what does that mean?

1086
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 4: Because this is the unit that's supposed to provide for

1087
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 4: everybody else and nobody else has to worry about. So

1088
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of where And then also I

1089
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 4: think it's the performance and it's making sure that your quarterback,

1090
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 4: because that's what this thing's all built around.

1091
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: Right.

1092
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 4: If Herbert's healthy, you have a chance to win the

1093
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 4: super Bowl. He's just that good. But when you're getting

1094
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 4: hit six times in two weeks and you've got a

1095
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 4: pressure rate of fifty percent and you see him, you know,

1096
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: getting worked on that left hand, that something happened when

1097
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 4: he took one of those shots and you kind of

1098
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: and you see him limping a little bit after getting tagged,

1099
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 4: you know, the eighth or ninth time in that Giants game.

1100
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: It's like that's and I think that's why coach Harbaugh

1101
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 4: even addressed it. You know, he will never he'll never

1102
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 4: you know, put any players on, you know, on in

1103
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 4: the media. He will never point that stuff out. But

1104
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 4: you heard what he said. He's like, we've got to

1105
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 4: figure out a way how to protect justin like that.

1106
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 4: We cannot allow this to continue for just That was

1107
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 4: kind of the way he framed it. And so that's

1108
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 4: that's I think the reality it's.

1109
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: It's so for I mean, it's just it's the unfortunate

1110
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: reality of the NFL of these injuries. I mean, like

1111
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow out, Like I feel like Cincinnati season is

1112
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: like on the brink now, yeah, right, it's and it

1113
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: comes down to a guy that you can't afford to

1114
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: lose and unfortunately Joe al It's like, you can't afford

1115
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: to lose that guy. Now you really have to reassess

1116
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: everything you're doing. And I'll be interested to see how

1117
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: the offense comes out on Sunday. Yeah, without standing there

1118
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: and what the plan is going to be.

1119
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: Is it sol your is it? Is it deculous?

1120
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: And it was so your Wednesday right and left tackle

1121
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: in practice?

1122
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 4: So and I think I think based on what we've

1123
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 4: seen from Jamari in the past, you can make the

1124
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 4: case that he's been better at tackle than guard. Yeah,

1125
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 4: you know, I think card has been a real struggle

1126
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 4: for him.

1127
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: So one year when Rashaun went down, he.

1128
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 4: Was, Yeah, he played okay, And I think that's all

1129
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 4: you need. You don't need great, you can't have terrible,

1130
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 4: you know, you just need okay. And if you can

1131
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: get okay from an offensive line with a quarterback like Herbert,

1132
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: you can win a lot of games. And so I

1133
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 4: think that's what they're probably trying to work through right now.

1134
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 4: How can we be okay? And it's too bad because

1135
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 4: they really could have been great with how this thing

1136
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 4: was late.

1137
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: They really could have.

1138
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: Been But you know, it's I think when you have

1139
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: your first bout of adversity, whether you're a player or

1140
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: you're a fan, it's like you forget how long the

1141
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: season is. It's like, okay, like this is the stretch

1142
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,479
Speaker 1: where we're gonna be down a few guys like Khalil's down,

1143
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: Benzel's down right right now, that's a big one. Elijah

1144
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: was down. Like you started to get guys. I remember,

1145
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: like I think it was last year. It's like, okay, well,

1146
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: we have to just we got to play like five

1147
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: hundred football down the stretch and then we're gonna get

1148
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: all these guys back to back half, you know. So

1149
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: it's it's almost unfortunately, you know we're October second, but

1150
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: you're kind of thinking that way a little bit.

1151
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 4: I know a portion of our audience won't like me

1152
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 4: making the analogy, but I'll leave them with this. It's

1153
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 4: very similar to the Dodgers. You know, Dodgers had a

1154
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 4: bunch of guys go down in the middle of the season.

1155
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 4: Everybody was saying the sky is falling, they might not

1156
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: win the division for just the second time in thirteen years.

1157
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 4: And then look at what happens when the playoff. It's like, no,

1158
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: we're just gonna if we can just get it to

1159
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 4: this point. And now they've got all of their guys back,

1160
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 4: and Snell is out there, and Otani is pitching, and

1161
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 4: Mookie is right. It's like, that's what it's supposed to

1162
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 4: look like. And I think for the Chargers, it's very similar.

1163
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, if we can just get Denzel and

1164
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 4: Khalil and Alt and all these guys are back, and

1165
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 4: if we can just maintain and the schedule's friendly is

1166
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: our friend because of the home games and the way

1167
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: this thing laid out, can we maintain for these next

1168
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 4: four weeks, You're gonna end up getting Khalil back by then,

1169
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: probably all back by then, and then you can really

1170
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 4: kind of start to make that push for a team

1171
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 4: that we think is good enough to win the Super Bowl.

1172
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the attrition to like, you know, not when you

1173
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: sign nause. You look at nase's history of like not

1174
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: missing games game it's like, man, what happened? But anything else,

1175
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: that's it.

1176
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 4: Man, Let's get a it's get a win at home

1177
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: and make our way out to Miami, get another win,

1178
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 4: and you know, just string it together. We felt so

1179
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 4: good through those first three games. Don't let you know,

1180
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 4: one loss. A lot of times it could just be

1181
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 4: not a wake up call, but a reminder that it's

1182
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 4: the National Football League and these teams are good no

1183
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: matter what their record is. You know, they're good enough

1184
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 4: to win games weekend and week out. I mean, you know,

1185
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 4: Browns Packers. It's just it happens.

1186
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: It happens, all right, Bolts looking for a bounce back

1187
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday for money. I'm Chris. This has been Chargers week.
