1 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Welcome into another episode of Chargers Weekly, 2 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: as always, joined by Matt money Smith, and this is 3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: a special episode because starting next week Money, across the 4 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: next seven months, we'll have a training camp practice, a 5 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: joint practice, a preseason game, a regular season game, a 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: playoff game, and hopefully a super Bowl to talk about 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: from July to February. Yeah, it's here. It's weird. I 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: think people that I don't want to get too deep 9 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: into this. I can't imagine people were too interested in. 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: But like, football is interesting because the off season really 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: isn't that long between draft and free agency and rookie 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: camp and OTAs. But there's this little window that we're 13 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: in right now where everyone in the NFL goes on vacation, 14 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: has like this three week window to themselves and then 15 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: it's over. And when it's over, it is over, and 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: you are slammed from you know, I'm gonna be part 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: of that NFL network.

Are you out I'll be at Chargers Camp 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: DJ and I'll be at a Chargers camp for that one. 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: And it's just funny because that's essentially they I don't 24 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: know if they'd be upset with me saying this, but 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: you basically get these emails of like, you know, imagine 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: your Disney pass, and depending on the level of Disney 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Pass you get, you have all the blackout dates of 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: when you can't go, like vacation at NFL network from 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: July thirtieth until like February fifteenth, it's just blacked out. 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: It's like you're not going anywhere for these eight months, 31 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: So enjoy it for this little three week window. And 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: now we're just about to exit that. But I'm excited. 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: I got my vacations in and as did you. You 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: just got back from Hawaii, so I'm still that we 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: got this going next week and I'll see you out 36 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: there at Jack Hammond. Yeah, we know what we signed 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: up for, right, I mean, we know love it. Once 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: July hits, I love it, man, I would feel like 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: it is vacation when football starts. A last week's episode, 40 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: people loved your Andrew Luck commentary. Man. I hope hope 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: Zach got some downloads off of that. But I had 42 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: I had to read a couple of comments to you 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: because I was laughing because they were fantastic. Jack said, 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: I damn never wanted to stand up in my living 45 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: room and clap for Matt when he was saying all 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: that stuff about Andrew Luck. That was motivational af to me. 47 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Right on, Jack, I mean, look, I get it. I 48 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: know why people are excited right because Andrew Luck was incredible, 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely incredible. So you know, if someone's making 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: a parallel of Herbert D. Luck, you're gonna get darn excited, 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Jesse being thank you Matt for bringing depth to the 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: online discussion. What happened to Andrew Luck is so tragic 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: and terrible. Imagine watching that to happen to Justin that 54 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: would be horrible. Well, we made the case for why 55 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: it's not happening to Justin, which is I think right, 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: no doubt. That was the sort of the foundation of 57 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the parallel. That that got me thinking about it when 58 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: I listened to to Zach Keifer's pod there all right, 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: So we mentioned the training came next week. Ten practices 60 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: open to the public, the first one next Wednesday. There's 61 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: also two against the Cowboys joint practices, those two practices exclusive, 62 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: the season seed members money. What's the first thing you 63 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: gotta have eyes on on Wednesday seeing those guys out there, Well, 64 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go before I'm gonna go forty eight hours before. 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: That first thing I'm gonna have my eyes on is 66 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: when this Derwin James extension gets done. You know, to me, 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: that is And I don't know if you were planning 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: on going there, but I guess I might have jumped 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: you for content here. But to me, that's that's the 70 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: most important thing. You know, today, the day we're recording this, 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray just agreed to his extension. We know that 72 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown Jesse Bates they both didn't, so they're playing 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: on the franchise tags. News today that the Chiefs are 74 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: not happy with Orlando Brown's camp, that they thought, you know, 75 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: they made some fair offers and that got turned away. 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: And we know, you know from just kind of what 77 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: is it now almost it's been ten years. This is 78 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: the tenth year of Tom Talesco. That look, you got 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to get a deal done before training camp, otherwise it's 80 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: going to wait till the end of the year. And 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you certainly do not want to be put in that 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: position with Derwin so and it's just been great to 83 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: watch the way that Tom and his staff has worked 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: and Ed and everybody in locking up Keenan and Mike 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: and Joey and all these players that they've drafted and 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: developed and then rewarded with these, you know, lucrative extensions. 87 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: And I would be absolutely floored if they didn't get 88 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: something done with Derwin. But until it's done, can't lie. 89 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I just I'm like god, I'd love to see that 90 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: headline of Derwin James, you know, sorry, Tom and Ed 91 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: agrees to be the highest paid safety in football. I'm 92 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: just waiting for that that headline to show up. Well, 93 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: we don't need to talk to anybody else to know 94 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: what Derwin means to the organization and how they feel 95 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: about dr and how he makes everything go all three phases. 96 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: It's not just defense. So it would be good to 97 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: see Dorwin locked up ready to go for the twenty 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: twenty two season. Beyond. There's a lot of good safeties 99 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: in the league. I mean, Makeup Fitzpatrick kind of just 100 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: set the standard, right, so you know, that's kind of 101 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: where what we're looking at this point, Yeah, and I 102 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: think that's I think the two of them were looking 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: at each other. And by the two of them, I 104 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: mean they're agents and seeing who was going to blink first, 105 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: and because knowing that the second you signed it, the 106 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: other guy was going to ask for a dollar more 107 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: or a million dollars more, or whatever it might be, 108 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: because they're both that good. And that goes for you know, 109 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: all the elite safeties in the league, and it's no 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: different with quarterbacks and in any position. You know, one 111 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: guy signs to the deal, the next guy wants a 112 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: little bit more, And that's how agents prove their worth 113 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: to their clients and get more clients. So you know, 114 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Tom would be upset with me saying that, 115 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: because you know, that's just the way the business works 116 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: when you're an elite player. And look, I think for 117 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: Dura and the Chargers it in Los Angeles, it goes 118 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: beyond just a how incredibly great of a football player 119 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: he is, be how what an incredible leader that he is. 120 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: But I mean, Durwin's a star. Durwin is a star 121 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: off the field, like he is a legit superstar, and 122 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: there are not many of those on the defensive side 123 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: of the ball in the league, guys with just incredible personalities, 124 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: very marketable. You're gonna see a time. I mean, look, 125 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: we saw a bunch of thirty threes. Now we're gonna 126 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: see a bunch of three Jersey's all over the place, 127 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, this coming year. So I think then Sean 128 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: Leonard's gonna get a little shine because I think he's 129 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: wearing it thirty three. Yeah, exactly in the crowd for me, right, 130 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: Durwin looks like he got like he shrunk. That happened. 131 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: What happened to him. So I didn't want to go 132 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: here because I didn't want to take Oh, I didn't 133 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: want to take debate. But we had a We had 134 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Chris Canton last year, and I like Chris Canty a lot. 135 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: He's a good dude. He had his top five overrated 136 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: players entering the twenty twenty two season, and he just 137 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: happened to lead it off with two Chargers, right, Darwin 138 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: was one of them, and then Khalil Mack was two. 139 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: And then you know, the one theme I saw throughout 140 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: it was like I think it was Saquon Barkley, Dak 141 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Prescott and Christian McCaffrey. If I'm not mistaken, all those 142 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: guys have had like major injuries right over the last 143 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: two years. So I want to have Chris on it 144 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: at some point, maybe like Week six, week eate we 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: can kind of see where these guys are at. Yeah, 146 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: we've had him on before. Yeah. So I look at 147 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Darwin and he references the fact that you know, he 148 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: played through a torn labor him hasn't been the same 149 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: since his rookie year. Wouldn't that game Week two of 150 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the NFL season last year where he hurt his labor 151 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys or great Week three Chiefs Wake three 152 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs the Chiefs. So I mean the fact 153 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: that he played throughout the entire year, made the Pro Bowl, 154 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: was a first team All Pro in twenty eighteen, and 155 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: he's under the age of twenty five. I mean, I 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: don't I don't know how you can say somebody is 157 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: overrated at that age playing at that level with bad 158 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: injury luck. Like if this is just strictly on injury luck, 159 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: and you know, you can make the argument he'd play 160 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: for two years, fine, but that that kind of struck me, 161 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: and that almost you know, if you want to go 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: behind the curtain at a in a production meeting. It's 163 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: almost like, all right, how can we Needle Chargers fans 164 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: today on social media? Because they're active, they're out there. Yeah, 165 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: just the way to do it. I don't know, I mean, 166 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: what did you think about that? I think you started 167 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: with the proper sentence, which is I didn't want to 168 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: take the bait. And to me, it's bait. It's it's clickbait. 169 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: You know, you can't put a bunch of players on 170 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: there that everybody would agree are overrated. You know, he 171 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: kind of hit it, all right, and look this just 172 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: this is just reality one he hit uh. You know, 173 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: top five pick. Everybody you know went crazy when they 174 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: selected a running back and say Quon Barkley when you 175 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: had quarterbacks on the board, regardless of how those quarterbacks 176 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: turned out, just saying like, you took say Quon Barkley 177 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: in the top five and everyone was like, don't take 178 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the running back. And it's proven to be an issue 179 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: because say Quence can't stay healthy too. You throw the 180 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: white running back in there that everybody loves, you know, 181 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: So okay, there you go. Check that box. Three. You 182 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: put Khalilo three exactly three. Let's put a cowboy in there, 183 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: and I mean, has there ever been a more debated 184 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: player in the league than Dak Prescott. And you know, 185 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: I'm part of that as Jerry's and you know, and 186 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: his son's doing, you know when it comes to signing 187 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: him and elongating that process and probably ended up paying 188 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: ten million bucks more per season because of the way 189 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: they approached it, not wanting to commit to it, and 190 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: then a couple of chargers, you know, which I'll be honest, 191 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: I just didn't quite understand what he was going for there. Like, 192 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: to me, overrated is I don't believe in this person's 193 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: skill set. They're they're listed as a players and they're not. 194 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: And it's like talk to talk to offensive tackles and 195 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: tell me if Khalil Mack's overrated. If they go into 196 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: a game and say, oh man, I'm happy I'm gonna 197 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: be playing Khalil Mack today. This guy's so overrated. Everyone 198 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: thinks he's so good. This is going to be a 199 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: walk in the park. No, that's not what they say. 200 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: They're they're crapping their pants because they know that Khalil 201 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: is one of the best hedge rushers in the league. 202 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: And same thing with Derwin and you know, tip of 203 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: the cap to one of my favorite people in the business, Baldy. 204 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger, who today actually the day were doing this, 205 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: posted it on his Instagram, his Baldy breakdown of Derwin 206 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: just talking about you know, and you know how Baldy 207 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: do say. You know, there's people out there that are 208 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: saying things about Durwin. Just don't know what they're talking about. 209 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about. Let me get 210 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: this going here and no, no, no, no, you know, 211 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: and I don't know what they're talking about. So if 212 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: you want to check that out at Baldy NFL on Instagram. 213 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: He's got about a two and a half minute sizzle 214 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: reel from last year of him covering Travis Kelsey and 215 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Tyree Hill in the same game of him going seventeen 216 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: tackles and a half exactly as a pick against Darren 217 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: Waller because he jumps a route that Waller, you know, 218 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: one of the most uncoverable tight ends in the league. 219 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: He's doing that. He's got him blowing up Joe Burrow 220 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: and just dusting samaj p Ryan and pass pro for 221 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: a sack, and then he's got him. I can't remember. Oh, 222 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: and then he's got him shooting a gap on a 223 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: handoff from Mac Jones and the Patriots game. I mean, 224 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: it's like a cartoon. That one play is like watching 225 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: a cartoon where Derwin diagnoses attacks and you just can't 226 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: figure out how someone's body got to that spot that quickly. 227 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: So I think it's just bait, you know, That's all 228 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: it was. It's bait. But you know what, I took 229 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: it because I got one more week till training Kim, 230 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: so exactly like I had, I had a right to 231 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: take it. And I will say this if chartis fans 232 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Khalil Mack liked it on Instagram, so Kalil 233 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Max saw it. And the one thing that that strikes 234 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: me about Khalil is the second you talk to him, 235 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to talk about anything. He just says, 236 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: I just want to show you, just want to show. 237 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: He just wants to get to September eleventh and show 238 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: everybody who he is, because I do think people forgot 239 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: just because we have this recency bias. We see everything 240 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: that happened in twenty twenty one. Khalil got hurt seven 241 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: eight games into the season, and we didn't hear from 242 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: him again, and he played on a team that wasn't 243 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: very good. So you know, we haven't said Khalil Mack's 244 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: name a lot over the last two years because of 245 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: all those factors. We'll see what happens September eleventh. And 246 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: I think he's the type of guy who's like, he's 247 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: not gonna he's not gonna tell you anything. He's gonna 248 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: show you how it's done. And I think the thing 249 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: with Durwin is a guy like Khalil, and Staley said 250 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: this so many times, jac Jackson, Khalil, they finally have 251 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: players around him to let Drwin make some of more 252 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: of those flash plays. Right, that's the key. I think 253 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: that's the key is with last year's defense, Derwin was 254 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: the break in case of emergency player, and every single 255 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: game they had to break that glass and ask him 256 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: to do something different. Darren, we gotta have you play 257 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: up high for you know, fifty sixty percent of the 258 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: snaps and now he's not as involved at the line 259 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: of scrimmage as he should be. Uh, Darwin, Joey's you know, 260 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: banged up. We need you to give us some past 261 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: rush presents, you know, off the edge and now you know, 262 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: the tight ends kind of running free through the middle 263 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: of the field. Oh, Darren, we need you to kind 264 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: of work the outside as a corner because we're down 265 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: to two practice squad corners that are starting right now. 266 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Like he was asked to do. And you know, coach 267 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: did a great job. I think of sharing that sentiment 268 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: with the media of you know, you have no idea 269 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: what we're asking this guy to do. And you know, 270 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: after they traded for Khalil, and after they signed jac 271 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: and after they both stred the interior of that line. 272 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: Now it's the first thing out of Staley's mouth is 273 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, just wait, you wait to see what we're 274 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: going to be able to do with Darwin now and 275 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: how he is different than almost every other player in 276 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: the league because he can rush. He is a load 277 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: to deal with as as a rush, you know, as 278 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: a rusher, as a blitzer, he's he can go step 279 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: for step with any tight end in the league. He 280 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: can cover receivers like Tyree kill Um, and he can 281 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: just cause havoc. He's so intelligent at diagnosing and seeing 282 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,599 Speaker 1: what a play. You know, it's it's kind of the 283 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: chess matches that we used to hear like to me, 284 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: that's the name that you would always hear, like Philip 285 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Rivers or Peyton Manning. They were the ones that always 286 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: talk about, Oh, I love Dad Gumm and I love 287 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: playing against Derwyn James because I know he knows what 288 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, and I know what he's thinking, and so 289 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if he's thinking what I'm thinking, 290 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna out thinking. You know, that's the exactly 291 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: it was Edry, you know, And that's and that's gonna 292 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: be fun this year. Like I'm just looking at Game one. 293 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: You talked about how Khalil wants to show you. I mean, 294 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at that Raiders offensive line and we 295 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: know that Darren Waller don't like blocking, so you know 296 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna get Foster Moreau out there for some help 297 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: on And we know what Joey Bosa regularly does to 298 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: Colton Miller for whatever reason, it's just been a good 299 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: man job. Even though Colton's one of the better offensive 300 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: tackles in the league. Joe has just had his way 301 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: with them. And I'm looking at it right now, and 302 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: I heard Josh McDaniels say it. They're gonna try Alex 303 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Leatherwood at right tackle again. And I believe it was 304 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Joe you ended that career at right tackle last year 305 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: in their first meeting, and then the very next week 306 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: Leatherwood was kicked inside the guard. So either Joe or 307 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: Kalierl are gonna have a pretty good run on that 308 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: that deal there, And it's going to be awfully fun 309 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: to get things started that way. Yeah, and listen you 310 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: said it. Things have already started. The Raiders are in 311 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: training kit because they had that Hall of Fame game 312 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr said, this is from the athletic It's 313 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: going to be fun. No one thinks anything of us, 314 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes it fun is you 315 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: always have to put the ball down and play the 316 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: football game. So Derek's taking the taking the underdog approach 317 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: very early day won into camp. Yeah, last time I checked, 318 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: I thought that was Davante Adams who was getting the 319 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Madden ninety nine rating trophy delivered by Jerry Rice. I 320 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: think like their skill positions are are up in the 321 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: top five with Waller and Davante and Hunter Renfro and 322 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: just what a what a nightmare cover that is? It? 323 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: Look and not to mention they bring in Chandler Joe. 324 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: You talked about it last week, you know, in the 325 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: top ten they got Chandler Jones and Max Crosby in 326 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: the top ten. Edge Rusher. It seems like people are 327 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: all right with the with the Raiders team. I just 328 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: got to go on execute. So to me, that's on you, Derek, 329 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, has nothing to do, and people are giving 330 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: you the respect the team, the respect that you may 331 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: be looking for. There's looking for you to go out 332 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: there and do it, and do it in this division. 333 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: It's funny for someone who routinely says that with that 334 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: weird accent that he has, I don't pay much attention 335 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: to all that stuff out there. You know. He seems 336 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: to pay attention to a lot of it for someone 337 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: that tells us routinely that he does not pay attention 338 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: to it. So hey, family, trust, respect, there we go. 339 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: You know. It's what's great about this upcoming season of money. 340 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: It's like we don't have the Browns of the Jaguars 341 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: up for It's Raiders week one, it's Chiefs week two. 342 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, like this thing is it's come and at 343 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: you like that. So so all these fun little clippings 344 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: that are going to come out throughout the course of 345 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: training camp, preseason. That's all gonna be the lead up 346 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: to that game that really kind of picks up what 347 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: happened in Week eighteen last year, but in Los Angeles. 348 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know if I don't know if 349 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 1: it's ideal or not. You know, I don't know if 350 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: you ask players, you know, the idea for players, That's 351 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: what I mean. Because fans it's like it's great, but 352 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: we all know it takes like like, look, I think 353 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: I can talk about this, but like you ever, but 354 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: you always hear, you know, the guys in Vegas that 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: have to set the lines, they always say the first 356 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: three weeks, there's your opportunity because it's so hard to know. 357 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: So we're just kind of flying by the seat of 358 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: our pants when we're setting these lines. And that's typically 359 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: when you hear fans get the better of the book 360 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: because they're trying to figure it out. And so when 361 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: you've got Raiders Chiefs week one and two, and you've 362 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: got teams that are trying to figure it out, and 363 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: you've completely remade your defensive line and you've got so 364 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: many new players on the defensive side of the ball. 365 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: Let's kind of take a second. I mean, there's a 366 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: ton of talent out there, but it is going to 367 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: take a second. I'll be interested, you know, I'll be 368 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: interested to see how coach Staley approaches preseason. You know, 369 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: if he feels like and it's it's probably great that 370 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: the Chargers have two joint practices this year, you know, 371 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: to get those reps and try to get these guys 372 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: comfortable with one another, because we know that went a 373 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: long way. We would always hear, you know how much 374 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: coach Lan and you know Coach Staley loved those joint 375 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: practices and how much they get out of it. So 376 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: I think to be able to get two teams in there, 377 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: both the Cowboys in the in the rams and get 378 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: some of those reps with all these new players, that's 379 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna go a long way for that first week on 380 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: September eleventh. Yeah, those are the new preseason games. Like 381 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: that's where the veterans are getting the most work. So like, 382 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: if you're a season seat holder, uh that those two 383 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: Cowboy joint practices, those are gonna be a lot of fun. 384 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: You got you got Zeke and Bilby and Dak and 385 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: justin and but just to go back to your point, 386 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: like I remember Kevin Harland saying, uh, we had him 387 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: on a couple of years ago and he said, you 388 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: know what, I don't pay much attention to who's good 389 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: until like mid October because penalties and sloppy football. You 390 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: kind of get your footing in mid October. So I 391 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: almost feel like it's almost like whoever's more talented early 392 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: in the year, Like maybe talent plays out more than 393 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: execution and penalties and things like that. So you're right, 394 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't know as a as a coach, if I 395 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: feel great about having my AFC West slate right at 396 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: the off the rip or like kind of going to 397 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: that point, Like I remember that. I think it was 398 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: like the Commanders had like five NFC East games like 399 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: in like December like something ridiculous, Like they had all 400 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: of their division games at the end of the year. 401 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: So like I always feel like the league they need 402 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: to do something about that, Like it's it's very uneven 403 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: because hard, you know, it's really hard. It's it's you know, 404 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: there's a reason why Peter King does that that special 405 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: every year on how they build the schedule with a 406 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: hotwitz and named Howard. Shoot, I should remember his name. 407 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: I know his first name is Howard, remembers last name. 408 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: Know who puts the whole thing together? Mike North, Howard Katz, 409 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Howard Katz. Yeah, I believe it's I think that's who. Yeah, 410 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: who puts it all together. But um so I know 411 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: it's impossible. And they always talk about, you know, every 412 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: single team is going to have an issue at some 413 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: point with the way the schedule lays out. It's either 414 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: a back to back road trip or why is this 415 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: team on a ten day, ten day you know rest 416 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: and we're on a sixth day and you know all 417 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. The one thing I'll say about 418 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders and not to I don't know how interesting 419 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: this is, you know, not to belabor the point, but look, 420 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: new head coach, new coordinators, new systems. So that's gonna 421 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: to me that's benefit Chargers. I think personnela is easier 422 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: to settle in than new coaches, new systems, perhaps new 423 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: terminology like they you know, they've got Daniels and Mike 424 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Lombardi or Mick Lombardi and Patrick Graham. So you've got 425 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: all new coaches and new systems that they're trying to 426 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: settle into To me, that's a bigger hurdle to clear 427 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: the first four games than players. I always go back 428 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: and forth with that money because I think there's a 429 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: lot of validity to that. But at the same time, 430 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: I remember Josh McDaniels started four and zero or five 431 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: and oh with the Denver Broncos, and nobody really needs 432 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: that system. Jim Zorn, I remember that same year was 433 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: like six and two with the Redskins and it turned 434 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: into But like I think that there's that, but there's 435 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: also like the element of surprise and catching you off 436 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: guard with some stuff. And I think, like I remember, 437 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: like for that Washington example, like once they were able 438 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: to scheme what Zorn was doing, he didn't make any 439 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: adjustments and then there you have it back half of 440 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: the year. But McDaniels is h McDaniels is a good coach. 441 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's of a coach, heck of a coordinator. 442 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: We'll see if he can be a heck of a coach. 443 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: And you know, the like the Patriots, like what are 444 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: they going to look like on offense this year? Like 445 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the big big pieces to 446 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: this twenty twenty two season that could affect the Chargers. Frankly, 447 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: if we're talking a wildcard, like are the Patriots going 448 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: to be the same as last year? Are they going 449 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: to take a step back because Josh with Daniels isn't 450 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: calling the plays there. If I had to put if 451 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: I had to go one way or the other, I 452 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: ain't going that way. I'll tell you that they always 453 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: figure it out. They did it last year with a 454 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: rookie at quarterback. They're right there in the playoffs. I mean, 455 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is just so damn good. You know, I 456 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: don't think there's any two ways um about it. So 457 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm just tired of of doubting him. It is interesting. 458 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: I have they even said as a Matt Patricia that's 459 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: gonna call, Like, I don't know that They've got like 460 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: a couple of guys in the mix there, Joe Judge 461 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: and um, Matt Patricia, I think, And I don't think 462 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: they've mentioned you know, look, it might just end up 463 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: being Bill Belichick that calls the place. Jones. Yeah, I look, 464 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: I again, I am I am done. I'm seeing if 465 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: they have anyone listed as an oc here. No they don't. 466 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: Vacant is what it's listed as Hey, no, so guys 467 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: listen to our podcast first. But U I am athlete 468 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: had a Sante Samuel Senior on and it was electric. Yeah, 469 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: it was a lot of a lot of struggle to speak. 470 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: He has got some opinions, man, and a lot of 471 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: Belichick Brady stuff in there to hear from his perspective. 472 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty interesting. That's great. You'll have 473 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: to check that out. Yeah, because they went into the hole. 474 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: Uh is it is it Belichick? Is it Brady? And 475 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: Asante Senior had a lot to say about his thoughts 476 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: on the matter. I mean, look, it's you can't argue 477 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: to me like it's just it's it's inarguable the guy 478 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: won eleven games with Matt Castle for an entire season. Uh, 479 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: the guy had a rookie quarterback last year and and 480 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: won what ten ten games and made the playoffs or 481 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: eleven games whatever it was that he was like, it 482 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: just doesn't matter. It's crazy. I mean, the only thing 483 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: you can ding him for is just drafting poorly, especially 484 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. Like you know, there's a 485 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: lot of draft picks that have not gone well for him. 486 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: But outside of that, I can freaking coach. Yeah, any 487 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: of the players specifically like going into Wednesday Thursday that 488 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: you acaid to see, like the full pads. They're not 489 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: going to ramp up for like three days, I think. 490 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: But is there any other players? And I think maybe 491 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: like three or four weeks ago, we talked about some 492 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: of the guys that we thought were popping a little 493 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: bit in minicamp, but guys that you kind of want 494 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: to see right off the top that could make a 495 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: pretty big impact on this season. I think obviously it's 496 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: it's Isaiah Spiller, you know. To me, that's you know, 497 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: just all and just all three running backs, you know, 498 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: Josh and Larry and Isaiah. And it's gonna be interesting 499 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: to see how they look standing next to each other 500 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: because you know, we've we've talked about running backs are different. 501 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: You know, they're just built different, they run different, they 502 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: do different things. Well, So I'm anxious to see those three. 503 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see Trey. You know, how does he 504 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: look after this offseason of trying something different and working 505 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: out with a different group. Um, you know, how fluid 506 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: does he look when he's just you know, even without 507 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: the pads on, you know when he's going through his sets. 508 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that, and I think just all 509 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: the new players, you know, it's gonna be fun to see, 510 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, guys that are starters that are going to 511 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: be out there. You know. I mean that's the entire 512 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: three fourths of the defensive line. Three fifths of the 513 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: defensive line. Um, you know, corner healthy Derwin James is 514 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: always fun to watch, you know, how's he moving around 515 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: now that we kind of know there was a procedure 516 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: in there in the off season. So yeah, I think 517 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: there's a lot that that that I'm looking forward to. 518 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: We we get into training camp and like the the 519 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: knicks and the bruises, and like the fluidity of training camp, 520 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: it starts to get under way where you know, we're 521 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: talking about everything on paper right now. Once we get 522 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: into camp, there will be you know, an injury, there 523 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: will be a guy sitting out for a couple of weeks, 524 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: and then that's where somebody who maybe we don't talk 525 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: about as much here during the summer may may show up. 526 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: That's why I think these these preseason games, some people 527 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: just pooh poo them and say, hey, you know, they 528 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: really don't matter. And I guess for the starters, that's true, 529 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: but the back end of the roster, you know, the 530 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: big theme this offseason from Talsco instill it was a 531 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: deep and complete team. We don't know how deep it 532 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: is yet, and I think the training camp and especially 533 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: some of those preseason games will get a better idea 534 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: of some of these guys who I think our question 535 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: marks at this point. Can they contribute in a game 536 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: in December of twenty twenty two when this team is 537 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: fighting for the division or fighting for a playoff spot. 538 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily have some of those guys last year, 539 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: and that's kind of how they faltered down the stretch. 540 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: This is where those guys are made and where you 541 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: get a really good idea of who you can trust 542 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: all your roster as we get to September, I think 543 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: I think just kind of I'm looking through the roster now, 544 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: just going way deep, you know, on our lads here 545 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know what, there's another name, J T. Woods. 546 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: You know, because speed speed shows without pads, you know, 547 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: we know how fast their third round pick out of Baylor, 548 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: is there a sub four or four guy, So when 549 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: you can see him out there running around and maybe 550 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: tracking down some routes as he's trying to, you know, 551 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of catch up, maybe with a deep ball or 552 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: something as as hard and far as Herbert could throw up. 553 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: That'll be fun to watch, you know, Tito. You know 554 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: um Avonia, who in street clothes looks big. I'm anxious 555 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: to see him when he puts pads on. How big, 556 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, because there is there is something to that, 557 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: like there's I think it's it's one of the benefits 558 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: that we have of being able to be on the field. 559 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: There are certain players that when you see them in 560 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: pads um like the best. The best parallel I can 561 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: make is I remember covering the Kings the La Kings hockey, 562 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: and I remember seeing Daniel Chara for the first time 563 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: on skates. It's gigantic and it's just it's it's you 564 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: can't describe it unless you're standing ice level with that 565 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: guy like this just this is different. I think that's 566 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: how Joey is. When you see Joey in pads, when 567 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: you see Derwin in pads, this is a safety that 568 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: moves the way he moves. There's certain guys that really 569 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: just jump out at you. So I'm anxious to see 570 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: Zion who's a big guy in street clothes, and and 571 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: Tito and you know, and the new guys obviously Austin 572 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Johnson and Sea Bass, you know, and Joseph than those guys. Um, 573 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a lot of fun. 574 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: The ability of having hindsight now and and seeing Rashawn 575 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: Slater go one on one against Joey Bosa and hold 576 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: his own Early in the year, we didn't know that 577 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: he was going to be a first team all pro 578 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: like knowing what we know now. I mean, that's what's 579 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: fun is you put yourself in that position in twenty 580 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: twenty two, seeing Zion doing these one on ones and 581 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: was he doing it against Nick Bosa two? In those 582 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: joint practices, I feel like I thought Nick Nick was 583 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: he sat out right? Wow? Yeah he was? Nick was there, 584 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: but I don't think he participated. Um yeah, I feel 585 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: like I got some of that. We'll get Micah Parsons later, right, 586 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: And those guys were twelve of things exactly. We're all drafted, 587 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, and we fun that in week two. Um, 588 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember how that shook out. Maybe we'll get 589 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: a little Zion Johnson, Aaron Donald it's not gonna be 590 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: fun for Jeff for Zion, but hey, it's uh, it's possible. 591 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: We'll get a little bit of that. That's gonna be 592 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of fun. Dude. Those guys you remember that the 593 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen joints with the Rams, they got hot, they 594 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: got real hotti. It was involved too, Yes, that was 595 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: pre That was pre Ramsey. Who was it the Keenan 596 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: got into it with? I can't was it to see 597 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to I was trying to 598 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: figure that out. It wasn't to lead, right, Oh, yeah 599 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: it was. It was to leave I think it was. Yes, 600 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: it was. It was exactly right, which is obvious. I 601 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: should have thought of that. Yes, it was he gonna 602 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: keep to leave the whole practice and then it finally 603 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: just culminated where they went at it and they had 604 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: to break it up, get everything calmed down. Yeah, that's 605 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: exactly who it was. That's the best. YEP. This year 606 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: this year will have Keenan and Ramsey and Donald Yeah, 607 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: Donald Zion, dude, that's the that's the matchup. Yeah, exactly. Again, 608 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: completely unfair, because it's unfair to everybody. It's unfair to 609 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Zach Martin. It's unfair to Quinton Nelson. You know, you 610 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: name the guard and I can tell you right now 611 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: there's an advantage, and it's on the defensive side of 612 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: the ball. It's arguably the best defensive player in the 613 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: history of the league. That's how good Aaron Donald is. 614 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: So it'll be fun to see how zi On you know, 615 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: comports himself in the face of the greatest adversity in 616 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: all the NFL. Yeah, he'll get you ready for September. 617 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: And then you got to run it back when it's 618 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: real on New Year's Day against them, and yeah, it 619 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: could mean something, you know, exactly exactly. Last thing probably 620 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: I think it was who was it last year that 621 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: we had wait, Austin. Was it Fred Warner that Austin 622 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: stood up in pass pro I think that's what it was. 623 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: I think it was Fred Warner in Austin and there 624 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: was a nice little set there to look, this is 625 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: super inside. I can imagine this is I don't know 626 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: if it would qualify as minutia for the people listening 627 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: right now. Maybe listen if you're listening to this in 628 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: mid July. This Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I mean, 629 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: we're selling it a little hard, like, hey, it's really 630 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: exciting get out to Jack Hammett and watch these practices. 631 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: But there are those moments like I remember walking down. 632 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: I can still I can replay it through my mind's eye. Here. 633 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: I remember walking down to that side of the field, 634 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: because the way the practices are set up, it's like, oh, 635 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: here's you know, this group versus that group. And then 636 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: if you go over here, it's, oh, it's Niner's offense 637 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: versus Chargers defensive backs, and here is oh, it's running 638 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: backs versus linebackers and pass bro And I remember just 639 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: walking that way and I see Austin and I see 640 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: Fred Warner, and I stopped and I was like, oh, 641 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun and freaking Austin stood him up, 642 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, that's you see Fred again, 643 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: going back to the prior conversation, you see Fred Warner 644 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: and pads. That is a thick dude. He is a 645 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: strong dude. So to see Austin, who's you know, we 646 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: always say a pound for pounds strongest chargers, see him 647 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: hold his own it was pretty fun, especially considering, you know, 648 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: his stature versus Fred's. It was a lot of fun. 649 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: The memory that stands out to me last year in 650 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: training camp was Kittle Durwin in the eleven on elevens. 651 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: I remember this at touchdown and then the interception. Yeah, 652 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: but it was just to see Kittle run his route 653 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: in the physicality which he ran his route with and 654 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: Derwin matching it and Derwin getting the pick off of 655 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy and take it it the other way. That was 656 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: that was like, okay, man, those are two of the 657 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: best in the world at what they do going head 658 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: to head right now. And that's where we talk about 659 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: these joint practices, is how for the for the ones, 660 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: it's invaluable because like, these are the these are the 661 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: reps that are gonna get you ready for September. And 662 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: I think what you see in a series like that, 663 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: and they had I think Kittle got a touchdown on him, right, 664 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: don't want to say he got a touchdown on him, 665 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: like yeah, and then Derwin got the pick. Like what 666 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: you see in those moments are how much it matters, 667 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: Like you know, they're having some fun and it's practice 668 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it just it gets real. 669 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: And when it gets real, it's a lot of fun 670 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: because you can see Darwin digging in and Kittle digging 671 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: in and they're fighting in their hand fighting, and when 672 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: he had that pick and the entire team freaks out 673 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: and runs the other way with him, It's like, oh, yeah, 674 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: this doesn't matter. There's probably so many people watching this 675 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: that say, I'm a competitive person. Yeah, I'm a pretty 676 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: competitive person. Oh man, Yeah, there's levels to this. She 677 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: and if I'm pass along some advice, it's why I'm 678 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: one of the least competitive people on earth, because when 679 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: you realize, I will never I will never achieve that level. 680 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: So why am I even gonna bother? I might as 681 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: well just go one hundred and eighty degrees the opposite 682 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: the raction and just cruise and be totally content with anything. 683 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: Your life's my way. Exactly need to compete, it's not 684 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: a it's it's never. It's rarely going to benefit me 685 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: or come out in my favors, So I might as 686 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: well just kind of say I'm good, just keep cruising, 687 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: have a good time. The final thing, Yeah, touched on 688 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: it earlier Kyler Murray's extension. This is like breaking as 689 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: we as we talk, and I think it's relevant for 690 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. Number one is the Chargers play 691 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals week twelve, so you know, not that we 692 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: thought Kyler was going anywhere, but he's locked in. And 693 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Chargers have the NFC West this year, 694 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: so you have you have those Niners that we just 695 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: talked about, you have the Ramps. January first, you got 696 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and then you got the Seahawks with Chenna 697 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: coming back to to SOFI, I think like week seven, 698 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: so that's important. And Kyla is another young quarterback and 699 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: I think it just it makes you like, I think 700 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: Kyler is exceptional, but charges Fish should be happy they 701 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: got number ten. Look, I'm a I'm a huge fan. 702 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm a big Kyler fan, and I knew they'd get 703 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: the deal done because there's no alternative. It's like that, 704 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: of course they're gonna get a deal done. And I 705 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: trade that guy. You can't find another franchise quarterback, and 706 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: he's a franchise quarterback. I'm looking at the numbers now, 707 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty over five, one hundred and sixty 708 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: guaranteed averages forty six. So like to me, the most 709 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: important thing in terms of this podcast is, Okay, I 710 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: unless unless Joe Burrow, you know, does a deal before 711 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: justin and knowing the Bengals, I don't know if that's 712 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: going to happen. I think that one's probably gonna get 713 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: strung out. I think, you know, they're having issues with 714 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates, who was a super important piece to their 715 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: defense you know, last year, and they let that drag out, 716 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: and he's going to play on the franchise tag this 717 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: year and going free agency next year. So, um, to me, 718 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: this is this is much more representative I think of 719 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: what Tom and Ed and everybody you're thinking about in 720 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: the Charger's front office than what Deshaun Watson got. Like 721 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: that was just that's just the dumbest freaking deal I've 722 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: ever said. It just going to be the outlier, and 723 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: I think I think, I think the entire league is 724 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: going to agree that that was a ridiculous thought, which 725 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: I think you just saw Kyler's agent essentially do. It's like, yeah, 726 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: that's that's not going to happen, that that will not 727 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: be the norm. It's a team that basically promised the 728 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: guy everything so he would agree to be traded there 729 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: instead of Atlanta New Orleans. That was the way they 730 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: got him. Um, So this is I mean that's Look, 731 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: that's what Justin's gonna cost and and a little bit more. 732 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, it'll his his deal will be bigger than that, 733 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure, and um, you know, it's pretty good framework though, 734 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: and I would assume that it will be very similar 735 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: looking to that. And it's probably going to be the 736 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: last quarterback deal we're going to see, you know, prior 737 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: to next offseason when it's time for for Tuah and 738 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: unless two as a monster year, you know, and would 739 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: have to be an MVP level year for him to 740 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: be in that conversation. But it's the next one up. 741 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: And now I was going to be Joe Burrowin and 742 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. There you go. Money, Are you going to 743 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: be at practice the first day, second day? Yeah, I'm gonna. 744 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to go out as much as I can. 745 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: You know, they're early enough where I can squeeze some 746 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: stuff and it's all got to figure out when the 747 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: old NFL network wants to get the power rankings fired 748 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: up again. And let yeah, because that's a Tuesday, so 749 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: depending on when that when that gets going.
