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

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: What's some guys, Welcome into a playoff edition of Chargers Weekly.

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: We are presented by Splittero as always, joined by the

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: Voice of the Chargers Matt Muddy Smith Jalielade in the mix.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: Big Game Sunday guys, Keenan Allen gonna join us in

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: a few minutes. And I can't wait for Sunday Night.

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: I was surprised it was the Sunday Night game on NBC.

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: But under the lights Charge of five and oh Patriots

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: four and Oh Something's got to give.

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it lines up to be a primetime

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: style of matchup. You know what is the league? The

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: league is coaches and quarterbacks ahead of anything else. And

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: you've got two of you know, the marquee coaches that

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: play football the way the generations and generations of people

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: like watching football be played in Mike Rabel and Jim Harbor.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: And then you have two superstar quarterbacks. You know, Drake

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: may very well can end up as the MVP this

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: year and justin Herbert we know is you know, one

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: of the best of the best and is five and

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: zero in primetime. So as far as I'm concerned, give

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: me a primetime game, you know, let's see if they

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: make a six and z one primetime.

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: No, I'm with you money.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 5: And just the history between these two teams, right dating

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 5: back to the LT days. You know obviously Philip Rivers

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: going head to head with Tom Brady and then you

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 5: talk about it just in twenty eighteen, right, that's one

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 5: of the hottest teams that we had in a long time.

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 5: And we went down there same twelve and four against

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 5: a really good Patriots team. It was nighttime, so similarities there. Man,

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: This is always a good battle, much respected organizations. And

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: like you said, Chris, being five o'clock game on NBC,

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 5: if you're a player, you don't wish for and hope

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: for anything better than this.

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: I want to Chris held it. I want to ask

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: him because you know we were there in twenty eighteen.

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: So you're on defense. Yeah, you're on the sideline. Everyone's

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: out there for the coin toss, and I assume you

39
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: hear Patriots win and you're like, all right, I'm gonna

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: go take a seat. Yeah, and then they're like we'll

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: take the ball and you're like what, Yeah, they're gonna

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: take the ball. Yeah, what's coming out of it and

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: what the hell's coming at us?

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 5: That's crazy because we went in there like and no, lie,

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 5: we had the most confidence, like Tom Brady.

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: We didn't care.

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 5: Like we were on the road that year and we

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 5: were like, we can beat anybody. And they sent a

49
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: message early and off and when they took the ball right,

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 5: especially at home, and I don't know if that was

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 5: just that was their way of saying, hey, look we're

52
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: going to try to control the tempo of this game.

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: But yeah, we earlier in the game, we I mean,

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: we're talking about it later on with Keenan Keenan double move,

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 5: Gilmour got us off to a hot star. Yeah, I'm like,

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 5: all right, cool, they got us, They got us in

57
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 5: their first fifteen. That happens, right, And it was just

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 5: a long cold evening after that.

59
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 4: But on Sunday, it'll be a different story.

60
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: There, Jillian, take us back to that game.

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Keenan and Derwin the only two players who actually

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: played in that game that are currently on this roster,

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: but independent of Brady, right, because you know, Brady and

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: company had a big reason why you know they won

65
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: and eventually got to a super Bowl that year. What

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: is it like to play there. In terms of the

67
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: it's the crowd. This crowd has been starving for those

68
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: glory days and they feel like they have it now.

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: For fourteen wins this year.

70
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: It's right up there with Arrowhead.

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: I would say, just a little bit more spicy because

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: it was second round of the playoffs and the history

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: that runs through that organization. They're a very prideful city

74
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: and their sports, not only football, but the Patriots sit

75
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: at the top of the throne over there for them

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: neck connect with the Celtics. So the atmosphere just playing

77
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: in that stadium, pulling up on the buses, you felt it. Pregames,

78
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: you felt you talk about just playoffs versus regular season

79
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: in the atmosphere and the tenacity and how much fast

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: the game, the actual game is. You felt that. You

81
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: felt the buzz. You see the big lights, you see

82
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: the big cameras, you see the Tony Dungeons of the

83
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: World broadcast and every big name is out there, and

84
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: it's like, hey man, this is what you dream of

85
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 5: when you're eight year old kid, throwing on your pads

86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: and going to sleep at night, wishing and hoping that

87
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 5: one day you'll make it to the NFL. So to

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: live that and be in that experience, Man, it's almost

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 5: like something I really can't explain. It was almost like

90
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: a dream in itself, and I just took time to

91
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 5: take it all in. Obviously wish it was a different result,

92
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: but man, it was an awesome experience.

93
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the only thing that's back this you know,

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: go around for the Patriots is Josh McDaniels. So as

95
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: someone who played against him, you know, as the kids say,

96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: he got in his bag in twenty eighteen, he's been

97
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: incredible all you know, whatever you may think of as

98
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: a head coach, he's one of the best OC's in

99
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: the league. What does he do? Why is it that

100
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: he makes it so damn hard on defenses?

101
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: That's a great question.

102
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 5: And you say you asked that question, and the reason

103
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: why we lost that game the way we did we

104
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 5: didn't have an answer for him, right, And Gus Bradley

105
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: is a well respect defensive coordinator. We had a really

106
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: good defense that year, but they hit us with the run,

107
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: hit us with different formations, They hit us with different personnels,

108
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 5: screen passes, quick game, you name it. Like, we didn't

109
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 5: anything that we had answer for. They had another answer

110
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 5: for and it's just he's so good at getting you

111
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 5: off your rocker, starting out in this different formation, motioning right,

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 5: different personnels, motion tied into the back, back, backfield, which

113
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: changes your fits on runs. And we thought we were

114
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 5: well prepared for him, but his game planning right. And

115
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: not only do they have really good game planning right,

116
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: he's able to adjust within the game, just within drives.

117
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: And obviously when you have a quarterback like Brady on

118
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 5: the field, he's an extension of a coach out there

119
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: that can get him into the right plays at.

120
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: The right time.

121
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously Brady well into his career. Drake May

122
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: second year guy, but he's had an unbelievable year. Great

123
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: under pressure, great with the long ball. But all things

124
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: that I think kind of play into what the Chargers

125
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: defense has done this This Patriots offense. Listen, you play

126
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: who's in front of you. But I don't think they've

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: faced the top ten defense all season.

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: Long money, No, they haven't. And they're gonna want to

129
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: run the ball. And I think, you know, Trayvon Henderson

130
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: has really come on. He's got gas now, man, And

131
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: there's just you look down, you see nine touchdowns there,

132
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: and why you see a lot of them are long runs.

133
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: So to me, that's going to likely be priority number

134
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: one for Jesse Minner is you know, And I think

135
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: that's kind of what we'll interesting to the scheme For

136
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: me is are we gonna see I think we'll still

137
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: see a lot of nickel because I think you probably

138
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: won't have speed out there as opposed to like when

139
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: you think about stopping the run committee more big bodies.

140
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: But to me, it's just because of how fast he

141
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: is and how quickly he can get away. I think

142
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: you might want to have a little more, you know,

143
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: make sure these guys can get sidelined to sideline because,

144
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: like you said, Josh McDaniel's gonna throw a lot of

145
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: different motions, formations, you know, try to cloud the picture

146
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: from pre snap to what's actually coming at you. And

147
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: I think when you have guys like Derwin, you know,

148
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: not necessarily at the dinebacker, but that nickel position and

149
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: that extra safety out there, to me, that probably is

150
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: how it lines up. But just kind of to your

151
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: point Chris about the defense that he's gonna face you right,

152
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: you know, and he's a guy that took forty seven

153
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: sacks and he's a God, that had the second most

154
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: pressures to Justin Herbert this season, So you know, those

155
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: adverse plays were there, he was able to execute through them.

156
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: And I think it's gonna be a little bit different

157
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: when you're getting pressured when you've got a back end

158
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: of Dante Jackson and tar Heeve and Tony Jefferson's back

159
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: there and Derwin's floating around out there with that just

160
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 3: You're right, that's going to be a little bit different

161
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: than being under pressure against you know, what was the

162
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: easiest schedule in the NFL this season.

163
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: So I want to ask you how important will it

164
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: be for the Charges to get home with four because

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, we talked about May and being so good

166
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: under pressure against the Blitz, getting Tully and Mac in

167
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: that backfield early and often.

168
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's going to be the that's gonna

169
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 5: set the game, right, The trenches are going to set

170
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: the game. And you talk about the defensive line, but

171
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: then you can look at, you know, the Pagris defensive

172
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 5: line as well, and I think that when you look

173
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 5: at teams of overall record, right, I think this is

174
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: one of the teams that are like, hey, they're really good,

175
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 5: but this is a team that can.

176
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: Get got right.

177
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: Obviously the struggles that we've had on the offensive line,

178
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: but their defensive line does not create that much pressure, right,

179
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: So this is kind of like a I would say

180
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: from a team standpoint, like we match up really really

181
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 5: well against them. And then you talk about our defensive line,

182
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: Tully Mac, you know, always getting pressure on him with

183
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 5: four that's big. Now that you don't have the blitz Urwin.

184
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 5: Now you can have Durwin dropping showing pressure. You can

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 5: have Tony Jefferson or Elijah Molden rolling down showing different

186
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: looks post snap to cloud it up for Drake May

187
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 5: like you talked about how Josh McDaniels does so well,

188
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: it's going to be a big, big pivotal point in

189
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: the game that they do that early and they do

190
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: that often. And then talking about that nickel, right, A

191
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: lot of times people at home understand what Money might

192
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: be talking about is nickel is when you put in

193
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: an extra dB and usually it's a smaller guy, right

194
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: that's going to cover the slot. But what teams like

195
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: to do they like to get you an eleven personnel

196
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 5: which forces you to go to nickel, and then they

197
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: like to motion that slot over fast. Now they bring

198
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: the nickel in the fit most of the time those

199
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 5: are small guys who don't know how to defend the run.

200
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: Now that's Durwin, right, So you can't do that against them.

201
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, the Chargers coming out with

202
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 5: Duran early and often in that big nickel package is

203
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: what you'll see most of the night.

204
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: Just to you know, what Julia was talking about with

205
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: the defensive line of the Patriots and really you know

206
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: both fronts right, just talk about O line v D line,

207
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: you know, on both sides. And you know for the Chargers, yeah,

208
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: they don't pressure well, they don't have an elite pass rush.

209
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 3: They don't have anyone with ten sacks, right Harold Landry,

210
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: Calebon Chase Son. Like, They've got guys that are good.

211
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: They've had some pressures and some sacks, but the kind

212
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: of the straw that stirs the drink for them is barmore.

213
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: And now that Milton Williams is back, you know, you

214
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: saw that run defense go from solid to a sieve

215
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: when Milton was out played fifty one percent of the

216
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: snaps last week. I think a lot of that was

217
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: a product of them pulling away from the Dolphins and

218
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: just making sure they didn't overwork him. That's where this

219
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: Chargers offensive line has got to bow up man like

220
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: because you're gonna have Milton and Barmore over Zion Bradley

221
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: and whoever they decide to play at right guard. And

222
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a critical decision of

223
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: you know, is Makai Beckten healthy enough to be able

224
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: to hold that spot, because you know, on the offensive line.

225
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: And that's what's going to be interesting about the flip

226
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: side of that is you just you can have okay.

227
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's great to have great. Not a lot

228
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: of teams have great. It's it's okay to have okay.

229
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: You can't have bad. If you have bad, you've got

230
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: a weak point and you can just pound that weak point.

231
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: And I think for the Chargers defensive line, we've got

232
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: a Will Compton who's been banged up. Will Compton short armed,

233
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: and that was the not going on, Well, I'm sorry,

234
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: We'll Campbell, Yeah, We'll Compton podcaster, Will Campbell short armed,

235
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: susceptible to bull rush and so if he's not one

236
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: hundred percent and that knees not quite right yet, I

237
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: think you just go one on one with him with

238
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: Khalil or Tooley, and I do think you have an

239
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: advantage there and then you can get some games on

240
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: the inside when you bring o Way in, because I

241
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: do think that interior Owenu and like and they have

242
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: another I think is that Daniels who's on the inside

243
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: of there as well, like that can be you know,

244
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: Bradberry's just a guy. So I do think there's an

245
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: opportunity for an advantage there.

246
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great point. And you know, we go

247
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: back to two week eighteen Willson, Jared Wilson, Sorry, just

248
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: the valuable rest that these guys got, you know, starting

249
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: with justin a lot of starters on the defensive end.

250
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, guys like Zion and Bradley and Mackay you

251
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: mentioned just maybe that extra week can help him.

252
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: We talked about this last week money.

253
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: That I think the big storyline is can Jamari go?

254
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: And now looks like he's gonna and it looks like

255
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: he's a limited participant on Wednesday? And can Amaron go?

256
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: And Amaro did not practice Wednesday. We're taping this Thursday.

257
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: We will know more about that. You know, you look

258
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: at a couple of spots in the fourth quarter where

259
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: he appeared to hurt an ankle and you know, other ankle,

260
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: the other ankle, And we didn't talk about it much

261
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: because you know, he was going to be probably one

262
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: of the guys that was gonna rest anyway in week eighteen.

263
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: But just his availability is something we just don't know

264
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: about right now and is going to be I think

265
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: a huge impact on how they play.

266
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: This game, right with Amar And if he's healthy.

267
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: I'll take it.

268
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: I mean, and I'm not a team doctor, right, but

269
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 5: this is like win or go home, right, right, And

270
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: if you're not dealing with a high ankle sprain and

271
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: you're dealing with just an ankle sprain, I don't know

272
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: the severity of his ankle spring.

273
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: Obviously, he's a warrior. He wants to be out there

274
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: with his team.

275
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: But I remember when we went into the Patriots, I

276
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: had an ac joint and I didn't practice much that week,

277
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: but I shot it up, took some medicine, and it's like,

278
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 5: let's go.

279
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, So I think you will see him out there.

280
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: He'll be out there, yeah, I mean, just how much

281
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: it's how much?

282
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: Right? So?

283
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: But like you said, Chris, he's going to be a

284
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 5: big part, and it's obviously going to change how the

285
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 5: Patriots you know, defend the charges if he's out there,

286
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 5: if he's not.

287
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know the Tonga's had been out of practice,

288
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: so that's another big part of that defensive front for them.

289
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: And I think if you you know, it's it's interesting

290
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: because you know, we saw the way they chose to approach.

291
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: You know, I just kind of shoved the Broncos game

292
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: aside because of who was playing who was, not to

293
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: take anything away from the guys that were out there.

294
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: They were fantastic, you know, Marlo wack Wax, I mean,

295
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: he really played his tail off crazy.

296
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: Were we talking about doubt?

297
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: But like to go back to the Houston game, like

298
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: we talked about it, I think where it's just interesting

299
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: that they only attacked between the tackles when this team

300
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: has run so much better on the edge. And I

301
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: think with the return of Tucker Fisk, depending on how

302
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: they want to play that that right guard spot, and

303
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: if we see more of this jumbo with Trevor Penning

304
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: out there, I think, you know, Amario man as my

305
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 3: man Low Neil likes to say, if he's even he's

306
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: leaving and I think that's that's not the Keimani can't

307
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: do that or Jared Patterson can't do that. They can,

308
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: but Amaro's just got a different gear. He's got a

309
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: little bit different juice. And so that's because they've been

310
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 3: so effective on the edges, and then you look at

311
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: the edges of you know, of this this Patriots team,

312
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, that's that's probably where you're going to

313
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: have to attack. With the return of Milton Williams. And

314
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: if Tongo plays, like you said, it's the playoffs, would

315
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: assume he's going to be out there. I think that's

316
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: where that's going to come into play. And that's where

317
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: the whole Amari and Hampton trying to get as many

318
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: snaps out of him as you can could go a

319
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: long way for this team winning or losing.

320
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: You know, guys, I went back to Week one just

321
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: to you know, because obviously Greg Rohan being of the Year,

322
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: he came out firing, throwing the football. I think it

323
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 2: was thirty four to twenty five runs that first game

324
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: against Kansas City.

325
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Justin was exceptional, ran the.

326
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: Football a little bit, but you know, Amari and Naji

327
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: didn't have a huge role in that game, and I

328
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: just wonder if they could.

329
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: It's the same offensive line, sands All, and that's a

330
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: big deal. I object that a huge, huge deal.

331
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: But if you know, and you talked about the pass

332
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: rushes of Jacksonville, Houston, Denver, New England, is just not that.

333
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: That's not why they won fourteen games. If they can

334
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: give Justin an extra tick, an extra half a second

335
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: to throw the ball, maybe that's the game plan that

336
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: you kind of gravitate towards while still you know, keeping

337
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: that time possession in your favor. I just wonder if

338
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: this could be a Justin Herbert game where he can

339
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: maybe exploit them a little bit through the air.

340
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Their red zone defense is not very good either.

341
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: That's terrible. It's the only remember that was the knock

342
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: on the Texans as well, is that everything is great

343
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: and then you get to the red zone. You're like,

344
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: this doesn't make any how is a defense this good

345
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: across the board? When you look at the Patriots defense,

346
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: it is top ten in everything, it is top five

347
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: and a lot of things. And then you get to

348
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: red zone and it's thirtieth I mean sixty eight percent conversion.

349
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: And then you go to that Texans game, and it's

350
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: like three red zone opportunities in three points, and like

351
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: you that's that's the stuff that gets you against playoff teams, yep.

352
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: Like when you get there, you've got to score. And

353
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: so especially when that's really what this defense is going

354
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: to give you is you know, they when the field

355
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: gets condensed, they are vulnerable. Teams don't get there a

356
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: lot against them though, And that's sort of the one

357
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: thing to your point about the passing, Chris, Yes, you

358
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: can attack this secondary. You know, Christian Gonzalez is great,

359
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: He's he's a he's an elite corner. Carlton Davis can

360
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: be had. Uh, Marcus Banks is good. They're nickelback. But

361
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: safeties okay, you know, I mean you can weigh in

362
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: on that a lot more than I can, Julil. But yeah,

363
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: I do think you could see a pass heavy approach

364
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: if the front can block.

365
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that. Listen, you're in Marcus Jones or

366
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 5: Disaster thing Jones. You're good, You're good, You're still money.

367
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 5: You're still money Smith messing that money. I'm messing up

368
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 5: names now. Anyways, Yeah, yeah, to talk, I think so, man,

369
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: you're at this level of the in the playoffs in

370
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: the season, and you're gonna want to live and die

371
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: by the best player on your team with the ball

372
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: in his hands, right, And it's obviously the secondary. The

373
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: secondary can be attacked, right. But I think what Justin

374
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 5: Herbert does well and when he puts the charges in

375
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: the best position to win the game, is when things

376
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: that are drawn up in the meetings don't look how

377
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: they're supposed to look within.

378
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: The snap and he uses his legs.

379
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: Right, It's gonna be very vital for him to use

380
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 5: his legs throughout these possessions coming up on Sunday night,

381
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: especially in a hostile environment. There might be sticky coverage.

382
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to You're gonna have to elaborate a

383
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 5: little bit. And I think that's when he plays his

384
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: best game. And I think that's when he plays the

385
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: most free because he's a time in quarterback.

386
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: He is, he can fit, he can make all the

387
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 4: backyard throws as well.

388
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 5: But where he's good as as one one thousand and

389
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 5: two one thousand and it's not there go And I

390
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: think that will extend drize And as you extend drize money,

391
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 5: you get closer and closer to that red zone and

392
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: that's where they can be had.

393
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think there's a flip side of that too,

394
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: and that's the Drake Make can do it as well.

395
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: You know, he's got four hundred and fifty rushing yards,

396
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: thirty eight first downs, you know, four touchdowns, and we've

397
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: seen that be a little bit of an issue for

398
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: this team when they faced those mobile quarterbacks and you

399
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: know what Jayden Daniels did to them in that Washington

400
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: gave what Jackson dark had darn in that New York game.

401
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: You know, even Daniel Jones with his legs in the

402
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: Colts games, that first drive in Kansas City exactly. That's

403
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: sort of something that's also it's it's gonna have to

404
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: be you know, and I know how hard that is, Jalil,

405
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: when you're a defense and you've got everything covered perfectly

406
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: and you've foiled the call to play to have that

407
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: quarterback that can run. And that's one of the great

408
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: things about Herbert this season and how they've won eleven

409
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: games with you know, a leaky offensive line is because

410
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: he's been able on a third and seventeen to pick

411
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 3: up twenty four yards and eventually score a touchdown in

412
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: that drive.

413
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're living in my head money, because when you

414
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 5: were talking about the pass rush getting home at four

415
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: and talking about games, I was gonna say, yeah, that's good.

416
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: But also against a guy like d May, you have

417
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 5: to have integrity in your pass rush, your pass huss

418
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: lanes because guys like him, like Patrick Mahone, like to

419
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: escape through the be gas, right. So a lot of

420
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 5: times when you're running games, you know, guys can get shoved,

421
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 5: guys can get double bumped, and now you're creating a

422
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 5: lane for him to escape.

423
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 4: So although they're gonna.

424
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: Have to rush really well on the outside, I think

425
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: the biggest thing is gonna have to be the d

426
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 5: tackles getting a push right so that he can escape

427
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: through the inside, and then you allow your elite pass

428
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 5: rutgers on the outside to get home.

429
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. Just sorry Chris go Forth to jump in on

430
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: that too. I know we said we really no reason

431
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: to talk about the Bronco game, but I do think

432
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: there was probably one good thing to come out of it,

433
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: and that is that that offense had nothing working, nothing

434
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: except for one thing, and that was when the ends

435
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 3: got too aggressive and they crashed. Bonux peeled out, and

436
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: that was the only offense they had outside of one

437
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: pass for thirty eight yards. Everything else was you can't.

438
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: You gotta keep that edge sealed, man, and when the

439
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: ends crack, And that's I think a great lesson to

440
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: take into this game. Just hey, don't worry about the sack.

441
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: Don't worry. We'll get the pressure there eventually. Just don't

442
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: let them break contain like, you've got to set that edge.

443
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: And that was probably five or six times they were like,

444
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: you know, not to mention any names, but if Tully

445
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: and Khalil were out there, it's like, Okay, that ain't happen.

446
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 3: For sure that that's not happened when they're out there.

447
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: But I do think, you know, the guys that are

448
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: out there are going to have a big role in

449
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: this game. So it's a reminder of this guy's four

450
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards, thirty eight first downs, four touchdowns.

451
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 3: Don't let that get you been.

452
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: It's been said on this podcast weekly going into the playoffs.

453
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: You know, an elite defense in heroic plays by Justin

454
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: Herbert seems to be the formula to win. For as

455
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: awesome as this defense has been all year, if you

456
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: head to nitpick, it's the beginning of games, right, it's

457
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: the fourteen to nothing hole against Houston, seven to nothing

458
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: hole to Dallas Patrick Mahomes seven to nothing on the

459
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 2: road in Arrowhead. If you do that in the playoffs,

460
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: it can get away from you, and can get away

461
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: from you quickly.

462
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Like how imperative is it to you know?

463
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: But you have to match wits with Josh McDaniels too,

464
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: who's gonna have a scripted game plan out of the gate.

465
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: And I just think it's gonna be a fascinating match

466
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: with between Mentor and McDaniels, but McDaniels rather.

467
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: But I just look at.

468
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: The defense at the beginning of games, like the importance

469
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: for a hot start, a quick three and out, allowing

470
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: the Chargers to get on this team seven to nothing,

471
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: ten to nothing early as opposed to the latter.

472
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's just starting fast, right. And I remember

473
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: like when I was playing and coach wanted us to

474
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 5: start fast, and we got to start fast. You could

475
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: talk about it in meetings, you can talk about the meetings,

476
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 5: but on the practice field to be like, you know what,

477
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: instead of starting with individuals, right, we're gonna start with team.

478
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: Good on good, right, We're gonna come out here ones

479
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 4: versus ones.

480
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 5: Let's go right, because you got to implement that, implement

481
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 5: that throughout the week so that it shows up on Sunday.

482
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 6: Now.

483
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's what they're doing.

484
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: That's just one way that our coaching staff tried to

485
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 5: get us to go faster and play faster with more urgency.

486
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 5: But the biggest thing I think is it's just they've

487
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 5: been struggling with the first fifteen. Yeah, right, the first fifteen.

488
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 5: There's scripted plays. Everybody knows it, and they've been struggling

489
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 5: with it. But what Jesse Minter is really good at

490
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: is making adjustments, seeing how you came out, seeing how

491
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: you tried to attack them, seeing what formations, what tennessees,

492
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 5: you know, what you're trying to do, what you're trying

493
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 5: to create, and then getting on the sideline, getting with

494
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: his teammates, excuse me, his coaches, getting with the players

495
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: and making adjustments and then it's like shut down after that.

496
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 4: But they have to start faster. Chris, that's a great

497
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: point that you made.

498
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, it's an interesting like, it's kind of interesting

499
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: how it's played out, because really, through that, I don't

500
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: know what you want to say maybe the Cowboy game.

501
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 3: It's a defense that had allowed a score on the

502
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: opening drive five times. That was it, five times out

503
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: of whatever fourteen games I think it was. And flip

504
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: side of that was offensively, they had scored on eleven

505
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 3: of fourteen opening drives and so for whatever reason, this

506
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: last little window hasn't quite been the case.

507
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 6: You know.

508
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: Obviously, they scored on their opening drive against Dallas and

509
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: traded blows and then you know, their defense buckled down

510
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: Cowboys did and they pulled away in that game. But

511
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: I so I think it's there. Like my point is

512
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: that it's there, Like they've they have foiled some they've

513
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: foiled Sean Payton and Andy Reid and some of these

514
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: really good offenses, you know, Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts

515
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: and the Super Bowl champs you know, on their opening

516
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: drives and they're scripted first fifteens before. So it's in there.

517
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: They can do it for whatever reason. And I you know,

518
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: I point that out because Derwin even said it. He's like, yeah,

519
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, he said it after the Texans game. He's like, yeah,

520
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 3: we shut him down, he goes, but we cannot have that.

521
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 3: We just we've got to that's something that we've got

522
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: to drill down on and make sure that it's squared away,

523
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 3: you know, moving forward. So I think, like you said, Juliel,

524
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: they'll they'll make those adjustments. This coaching staff is so good,

525
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: they'll they'll get that thing. They'll dig so deep into

526
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: that film from this year that they are going to

527
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: at least have a puncher's chances, if not more than

528
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: that to figure out what direction they think Josh McDaniels

529
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: is going to go, so it doesn't look like it

530
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: did against CJ. Stroud in those first two possessions against

531
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: the Texans.

532
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: Jille, I wanted to ask you too, Like with Drake May,

533
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: he's had so much success with the deep ball this year,

534
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: and ironically, outside those two plays against the Texans, I

535
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: mean the Chargers, that's their specialties, not allowing big plays.

536
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: How do you think that will play into the game

537
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: plan and maybe the flow of the game on Sunday.

538
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: That's a great question, Chris, because when I was at

539
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: the Houston game, and that's what I was really shocked, because, okay,

540
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: if you drive on us for ten play drive, Okay,

541
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 5: I get it, you know, but the last thing that

542
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 5: you want as a secondary of defense is like deep bass, right,

543
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: and that's what the Chargers are good at. You mentioned

544
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 5: that keeping a shell on the defense corners playing top

545
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 5: down safety is playing top downs, and you're gonna see

546
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: them attack that's certain coverage that the Charges were in.

547
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 5: Try to get him in that certain coverage and run

548
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 5: those plays from a different formation. It's a copycat league, right,

549
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 5: So I think that they're going to practice all week

550
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: long making sure that you make them earn it, right,

551
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: make them earn it, make them check the ball down,

552
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 5: make them go quick game, because most quarterbacks in this league,

553
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 5: in the NFL are.

554
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: Not patient enough to do that right. Right. They want

555
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: to take the shot. They want those big numbers, they want.

556
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: Those those electric fying plays, electrifying throws. They don't want

557
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 5: to dink the ball. Dink the ball.

558
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: Made Brady great because that's what Brady would do.

559
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 5: He had the patience to do that, and he'll do

560
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 5: it all the way down the field, right, And he

561
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 5: didn't care what his numbers looked like because he knew

562
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: sooner or later, sooner or later, you're gonna bite up

563
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 5: and then he goes deep. Right, So they're going to

564
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: have to really make sure that they make the Patriots

565
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 5: earn it right. Two shell listen, play the run with

566
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 5: the two shell. Look, have Durn in the box and

567
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: let the best players make your plays, and they need

568
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 5: to make them.

569
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the run fits have been great, you know, from

570
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: that linebacker level, you know, and DP he'll be back then,

571
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 3: so paramoal keep back and who knows, man, have you

572
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: got a couple reps out there from Marlow Wax the

573
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: way he was diagnosed to run. Had you know that

574
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: one huge tackle for loss, had a second one just

575
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: can't leave your feet, you would assume he got coached

576
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: up on that when he went back to the sideline, like,

577
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 3: hey man, you would at a TfL in your box

578
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: score if you didn't leave it for very next time,

579
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: you know, made the adjustment, ran through the tackle, blew

580
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 3: the dude up. So but they've been very good DP especially,

581
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: and he's a tone setter, you know, and for someone

582
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: look Rimandra Stevens. It's a big dude. So I'm not

583
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: saying it's necessarily gonna be on him. But you got

584
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: a rookie out there in traveon Henderson's two hundred pounds.

585
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: You get a little visit from Denzel Paraman early in

586
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: that game that can help set that tone to kind

587
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: of I got lost here when I was in my thought.

588
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: They're getting excited about the idea of Denzel blowing somebody.

589
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: That could happen.

590
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could happen.

591
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 5: I had taken that's what happens with the running backs,

592
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 5: and they have a good plan to until they meet

593
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: the Zel don't.

594
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: Denzel was another guy.

595
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: He got hurt in twenty eighteen, like middle of the year,

596
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 2: so he didn't get to participate in that game in

597
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: the divisional round. But you know, the leaders of this

598
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: team like Khalil and Durwin, the fact that Khalil hasn't

599
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: had a postseason win and Darwin had to endure Jacksonville

600
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: and last year despite playing awesome in Houston, you played

601
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: with her.

602
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: What is he like in a game like this leading

603
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: up to this?

604
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: He's who he is.

605
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 5: He's who he is always, doesn't matter if it's a

606
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 5: practice as at matter, if it's the playoffs, He's going

607
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: to bring energy. I'm gonna mean the first one in

608
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 5: the building. I promise you that in the building. He's

609
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: like an extension of a coach. I mentioned that earlier

610
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: on the offensive side. But that's what he is. He'll

611
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: call out plays, he'll call out for mations, he communicates

612
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 5: really really well pre snap, excuse me, and then he

613
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: executes post snap.

614
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 4: Right, that's who you're gonna get. A high energy guy.

615
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: He swags, he's confident, and he has that aura about him.

616
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 5: And I know that word's thrown out a lot, but

617
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: he's the most aura guy in the NFL on the

618
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 5: defensive ball, on the defensive side. Right, you can't take

619
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 5: that away from him. And I always say, in moments

620
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 5: like this where you know guys might second, second, guest

621
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: himself or not be too sure because they don't want

622
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 5: to make the mistakes because what happens now blows up,

623
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 5: derw will be there to assure them to list listen, man,

624
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: play loose, play fast, have fun.

625
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 4: Right, let's go out here, let's play as a team.

626
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: Let's play as one, and if we mess up, move on.

627
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 5: Right, we got a whole we have four quarters to play.

628
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: Klips obviously a tenured vet. So these are guys you

629
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 5: want to go into battle with. Right, You're going into

630
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 5: enemy's territory. Got to pack your defense, got to pack

631
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 5: your special teams, and you got to take care of

632
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 5: the ball.

633
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: I think they do those three things the walk away winners.

634
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the idea, and everybody would like the

635
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: idea of starting fast, but especially in this game, just

636
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: because you know, like even had Drake May in his

637
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 3: you know week, you know, early in the week interviews

638
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: talking about, you know, how much he looked up to

639
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert when he was in college and stuff, and

640
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: can't wait to meet him. It's like, oh, you met him,

641
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: You met him last year and it was forty to seven.

642
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: So I think the idea of reminding them that, yeah,

643
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: I know, you got a new coach and you got

644
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: a lot of different players and stuff, but that was

645
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: not a twenty four to seventeen win. That was forty

646
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: to seven is what that game was. And reminding them

647
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: that this defense had their number, that he was on

648
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 3: the run all game long, only passed for I think

649
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventeen yards or something like that. And again, look,

650
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: it was a completely different offense, but coaching staff completely coach. Yeah,

651
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: but some of those same offensive linemen are there. And

652
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: so I like the idea of a salty dude like

653
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: Tier Tart, you know, getting into getting into when you

654
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 3: and reminded him, Yeah, I did this to you all

655
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: last year man in week seventeen, remember me, I'm back,

656
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 3: and I because I think the interior that line can

657
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: be had, I really do, and I think that's where

658
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: they're gonna, you know, to your point, and what Julie

659
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: kind of expanded on was if Jesse can get home

660
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: with four man, it opens up so much for him

661
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: and Cloud in the picture on a young quarterback for

662
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: as great as he's played this year, for a young

663
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 3: question and just kind of going back to twenty eighteen, Julia,

664
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: you know the year that Lamar Jackson had that year,

665
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 3: and now you got all this experience on defense with

666
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 3: Joey and Ingram and you and and even Durham even

667
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: though he was young. Yes, you're able to kind of

668
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: make things a little muddy and speed up the clock

669
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: of a young quarterback that's having his first playoff experience.

670
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: And even though they're heralded and celebrated coming in, it's

671
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: different and you can just kind of get them off,

672
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: just get him to be off a little bit, and

673
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: you can. If you can do that early, it can

674
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: really change the way this thing could go.

675
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: This is when a plus coaching is on display January,

676
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: and there's a reason why Jesse Mentor is going to

677
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: get a ton of interviews.

678
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: He's going to get a job, and he'll probably get it.

679
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: It could be his last playoffs in Powder or Blue. Jesse.

680
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: You hear Derwin and Khalil just he praised on this guy.

681
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: How much can can a defensive coordinate or impact a

682
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: game in the postseason?

683
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 5: I think a lot, especially when he has the tools

684
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 5: that he has at his disposal all right, with the

685
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: players on the defense, Because no matter how good you

686
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 5: are as a coach, right, players bring to play to

687
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: life right, and you can draw it up in meetings,

688
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 5: you can draw it up on board, you could talk

689
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 5: about it to you're blue in the face.

690
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: But if you don't have the talent.

691
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 5: Out there, it doesn't really matter right now to say

692
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 5: that Jesse has done a lot of really good things

693
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 5: with players that might not be the most talented at

694
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 5: that position in the league. So when you put that together,

695
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 5: you get the product that you're seeing each and every week, right,

696
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: an elite defense.

697
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: So you have to answer your question.

698
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 5: Man, he can have his footprint all over this game, right,

699
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 5: because that mantra of quote unquote defense wins championships as

700
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: corny and cheeze as it sounds, it's real, right, And

701
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 5: he comes from organization in the Baltimore Ravens who live that,

702
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 5: who've done that.

703
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: Right with Trent Dill fret quarterback.

704
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 5: And they kind of have that like every time you

705
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 5: play the Ravens, their defense is a going to keep

706
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 5: them in the game or they're gonna win them the game.

707
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 5: And he's come from that tree, he's brought it over

708
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: here with him and he's doing a remarkable job, to

709
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 5: say the least.

710
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I you know, I would love for you

711
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: to weigh in on this, Chilio, But the way I

712
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: kind of look at it is, look, I think the

713
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: fact that John Harbaugh got fired is crazy, but he's

714
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: there for eighteen years. But to me, it just it

715
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: impacts the Chargers so much. I firmly believe that they

716
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: were just like we let Mike McDonald walk out that door.

717
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: Jesse Manner is going to get hired this cycle. Let's

718
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: bring him back before someone else snatches him up and

719
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: just plug him into Baltimore. And with John Harbaugh Leavin,

720
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: I think he's going to do to Jim what Jim

721
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: did to him and plucking Jo Ortiz, and they're gonna

722
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: pluck Chad Alexander from us, who's an awesome front office line,

723
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: and they're going to make their way somewhere together, and

724
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 3: it's going to affect this team. And I say all

725
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: that because there's only one way that that doesn't happen

726
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: for Jesse, and that's if this gets away from them

727
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: and it looks ugly for a second year in a row,

728
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: like it did against the Texans last year. And so

729
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a talking point amongst the players,

730
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: but it's like, hey, man, here's a guy that's made us,

731
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 3: each of us a lot of money. We are you know,

732
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: Poona Ford was you know, a healthy scratch in Buffalo

733
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 3: for eight nine games and Jesse Minner helped make them

734
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: thirty million bucks. Christian Fulton was you know, a walking

735
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: injury report and Jesse Miner helped make six seven million bucks.

736
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: And so each of these guys, I've gotta believe, you know,

737
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: kind of know, like, hey, we can make our guy

738
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: some serious money. We can help him achieve his dream

739
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: if we go out and execute this year and make

740
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: this Super Bowl run with this defense, This is a

741
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: guy that's guaranteed. I think he's already guaranteed to get

742
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: a job, but he will be guaranteed to get it.

743
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: Now the spot open up today, Miami.

744
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: That's another one.

745
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right.

746
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,840

00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: window there where you led the league in first downs,

773
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: gained on third down, just kind of your signature plays

774
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: out there. So just kind of take us through harbor

775
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: they went this year.

776
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, We'll started off great, getting a job back back home,

777
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 7: so you're just starting there, being able to connect with

778
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 7: the coaches, uh, the new guys around around the facility,

779
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 7: and just kind of understand what role I was gonna have.

780
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 7: Obviously Ladd coming off that that great season, he was

781
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 7: gonna be a big part of the offense. And you know,

782
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 7: just seeing Q throughout the throughout the training camp when

783
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 7: I first got here, he was killing it.

784
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: You know, confidence at all time high.

785
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 7: So yeah, just trying to see where I was gonna

786
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 7: fit in, and I thought the coaches did a great

787
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 7: job of.

788
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 6: Putting me in.

789
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 7: You know, certain situations to uh just still be valuable

790
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 7: and to still make plays for the for the team.

791
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 7: So I think just you know, just being me, just

792
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 7: when when my number was called, and knowing knowing her ball,

793
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 7: I know, I know he's coming, he gon, he gonna

794
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 7: throw me the ball live, so uh just just gotta

795
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 7: be ready. Yeah, just trying to make the play slave man.

796
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: I came in with you in twenty thirteen, same class.

797
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 5: It's legitly, I don't even know if that's a word.

798
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: Awesome to see you still strive and keep doing what

799
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 5: you're doing. Like, what's what's the secret potion?

800
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 4: Man?

801
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 5: How you continue to still progress, continue to improve your

802
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 5: game and still be this productive this late in your career.

803
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it starts with the mindset of just

804
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 7: knowing I can do it. Obviously, you know, it's some

805
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 7: days where you're out there like I don't know how

806
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 7: I'm gonna make.

807
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: It to the day.

808
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 7: But it's a lot of those now, way more than

809
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 7: it used to be. But I think just when when

810
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 7: it's time, like I said, when it's time to break

811
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 7: the huddle, you know, just just being in there with

812
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 7: herbo you know guys like that. I know I got

813
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 7: to come through for him, So that that's basically what

814
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 7: it is, just knowing in my mind, like I can't

815
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 7: I can't feel my guys.

816
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: Sir, you know.

817
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: Can I go back to the first three games of

818
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: the year, and that was really kind of the tone

819
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 2: setting part of the season. You guys win your first

820
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: three games, all division games, a touchdown in each one

821
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: of those games. How important was it for you to

822
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: kind of make your presence felt there at the beginning

823
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: of the year and it really kind of set the

824
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: tone for the rope.

825
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was huge, not only for that for me,

826
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 7: you know, just having that break a lot of a

827
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 7: lot of teams, you know, passing up on me and

828
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 7: not giving me an opportunity. I think, just just proving

829
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 7: it to myself that I could still do it and

830
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 7: still be able to make the plays. And then with

831
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 7: that being said, you know, the guys piggyback off of that.

832
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 7: Everybody feeds off the energy. Third and Keening comes along.

833
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 7: You know, now we've got a lot of energy. So yeah,

834
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 7: we just felt like we were style.

835
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: Kind of you touched on it there about you know,

836
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: wanting to be there for your guys and the guys

837
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 3: wanting to be there for you. It seems like it's

838
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: a it's a big theme for this team under Harbaugh.

839
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: Is it different with him than it has been for

840
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: for other coaches on other teams? We hear a lot

841
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 3: of that from you players about you know, just wanting

842
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: to be there for him or him as opposed to me.

843
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it is different, not not in that

844
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 7: kind of aspect.

845
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 6: They'll tell you when we went to the playoffs, we

846
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 6: were kind of like that too.

847
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 7: Everybody you know, had each other's back and you know,

848
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 7: we'd always, you know, fight for each other no matter what.

849
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 7: But I think just the difference is the belief, you know,

850
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 7: within the coaches. Not to say we didn't believe in

851
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 7: the coach we had then, but I think it's just

852
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 7: a little bit more knowing that his resume speaks for

853
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 7: itself most definitely.

854
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 5: So you touched on, you know, that gap and free

855
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 5: agency just kind of waiting right, and I know, speaking

856
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 5: for me, like specifically, I was like, what's taking so long?

857
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 6: Right?

858
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 5: Was that more so you waiting for a fit written

859
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 5: for the right team or was it more so you

860
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 5: know team saying hey, quite frankly, we don't know if

861
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 5: you still got.

862
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 6: It Yeah, it was a little bit of both.

863
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 7: It was more of we don't have the money, we

864
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 7: don't want to we don't a lot of teams just

865
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 7: like we don't want to disrespect you, you know, and

866
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 7: in that aspect, and I was like, all right, that's cool.

867
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 7: Well I'm waiting on this one team specifically anyway, so

868
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 7: if y'all.

869
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: Don't have the money, we'll just wait.

870
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 7: And you know, we got a couple you know, buzzes

871
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 7: and things.

872
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 6: I was like, no, I'm not going that far. You know.

873
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 7: The certain places was just situations that far quarterback situations.

874
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 7: Definitely wanted to be in a position to make the

875
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 7: playoffs and you know, make make it, make a run

876
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 7: for it. But yeah, that's pretty much what it came

877
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 7: down to.

878
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 6: Man. And then obviously the money wasn't amazing. But I

879
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 6: am back, but I am back home. We'll make it.

880
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 7: Do it it do But yeah, just get an opportunity

881
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 7: and you know, I'm back home, So it was all good.

882
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: What are the themes that I think with this team

883
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: is that there's so many guys that are kind of

884
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: looking for that breakthrough, right Khalil hasn't won a playoff game,

885
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: justin wants to get that first playoff win. You know,

886
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: Darwin has just been heart and soul this team for

887
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: so many years. Yourself, the reason why you came back.

888
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: What is the feeling in the locker room when when

889
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: it comes to just the business at hand in January

890
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: and getting over that home.

891
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 6: I think right now we're super confident. Obviously.

892
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 7: You know everybody didn't play last week, so they had

893
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 7: a chance to get a hill up. Those guys you

894
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 7: just mentioned they're gonna come back super thirsty, super ready

895
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 7: to go, fired up, and that those are our leaders.

896
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 7: So once they once we see their energy, we're gonna

897
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 7: match it. And you know everybody's gonna be ready to

898
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 7: make plays.

899
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: What kind of game you're expected to look like on Sunday?

900
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 7: Gretty doggish, you know how it is going in New England. Yeah,

901
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 7: it's gonna be cold's at night game, So you know,

902
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 7: the mindset gotta be writing. Everybody just got to be

903
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 7: locked in pretty much, gotta be able to execute the

904
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 7: game plan. It's gonna be loud, it's gonna be windy,

905
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 7: it's gonna be cold, a lot of a lot of distractions,

906
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 7: you know, So I just gotta just gotta be locked

907
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 7: in and go out there for that main goal.

908
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay on that same topic. Right, we went

909
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: in there in twenty eighteen. I remember vividly you hit

910
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 5: I think it was Stephan Gilmour with a dig and

911
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 5: going and started us off early, early, right, and we

912
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 5: felt good about the situation.

913
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: Forty three right, it's forty three hours.

914
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was nasty. So it was like it

915
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 4: was a dagger concept.

916
00:38:59,719 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 6: Yeah.

917
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: Right, So he must have studied all week long.

918
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 5: Once that two is clearing out and you hit him

919
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 5: with the boom boom and you popped it off. What

920
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 5: does what's the difference would you say? You know, in teams?

921
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 5: Obviously we went twelve and four that year. You guys

922
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 5: have won a lot of games this year, very very

923
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 5: talented team. But going into in the same situation, obviously

924
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 5: different quarterback, different rosters. But what do you what do

925
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 5: you see that's the difference and why you guys can

926
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 5: make that run and get it get it done on Sunday.

927
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 7: It's a great question. It's a great question. He put

928
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 7: me on the spot a little bit. That's a great question.

929
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 7: But uh, ultimately I really think it's obviously the coaching

930
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 7: is I think it's a little bit better.

931
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 6: They have a little bit more experience.

932
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 7: And you know, the guys I think have a little

933
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 7: bit more experienced as well. I was on that team.

934
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 7: Devery one was on that team. You know, the guys

935
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 7: that we that we have around the the core guys,

936
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 7: like the role players, I think I think they're all,

937
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 7: you know, pilished and ready to go. And Herbo, you know,

938
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 7: he's in his prime. He's game changing moment right now, Keenan.

939
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: The speed we always see that the speed of the

940
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 2: playoffs is different from the regular season, like in what ways?

941
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: Like how is a playoff game different from a regular

942
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: season game?

943
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 6: Intensity?

944
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 7: Like the first game of the season, we you ready

945
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 7: to cut it loose, you just want to put some

946
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 7: on tape. And then you get in the playoffs, you know,

947
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 7: you one of eight games, you know, so that right

948
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 7: there speak for itself. And then we got the night game.

949
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 7: So it's it's definitely gonna be He's gonna it's gonna

950
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 7: be fine. We're gonna be fine.

951
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: When you when you say gritty, I kind of think

952
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: about a big part of your career that I think

953
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: enough people acknowledge, maybe not enough people acknowledged as well,

954
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: but just how good of a blocking wide receiver you are.

955
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 3: And it feels like, you know, I just see Trey Harrison.

956
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: Maybe he did that you know in college and stuff,

957
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 3: But was that you kind of bringing him along? Because man,

958
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 3: he has emerged as he is a dog in the

959
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 3: run game. And how important is that facet of your

960
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: room to what we think might lead to success in

961
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: this game on Sunday night.

962
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 7: Oh, it's huge having a guy that can that can

963
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 7: do everything in the room. When he lines up, you

964
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 7: don't know what it is, run past, play action. You know,

965
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 7: you put him anywhere he can get it done. And

966
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 7: he was doing it before I got here, And then

967
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 7: when I was, when I was able to see him

968
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 7: do it, I'm like, oh, yeah, he's smart.

969
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 6: You know.

970
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 7: Once you got a guy that's smart like that, you

971
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 7: can plug and play.

972
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 6: It makes the difference in the room.

973
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: For so being a leader in the room.

974
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 5: Keenan Right thirteen years arguably one of the best charger,

975
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 5: will be best receiving charger in the history of the

976
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 5: organization in my opinion.

977
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 4: But you've seen growth from Q right and Q started

978
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 4: off with a lot of scrutiny about his drops.

979
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's come on this year and he's been very,

980
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 5: very productive at a high rate. Right, So being a

981
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 5: leader being around him early on in his career to

982
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 5: where he is at. Now, why do you why do

983
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 5: you say he's improved so much?

984
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 7: I think it starts with his confidence and probably the

985
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 7: work ethic. I don't know what he did, but you

986
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 7: could tell he did something in the off season to

987
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 7: go and just kind of recalibrate his mindset in his

988
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 7: hands and just having that confidence to wherever he is

989
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 7: on the field he can catch the ball.

990
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 6: But on top of that, I think you.

991
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 7: Know the way the coaches treat him, you know that's

992
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 7: it's not like a bashing moment like they don't. We dropped,

993
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 7: dropped the pass? What I dropped the pass for? I'm

994
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 7: pretty sure you dropped the pass and for a few.

995
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 6: Bad I didn't.

996
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 7: I didn't mean to drive, you know, just having to

997
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 7: drive it. So I think this when you have you know,

998
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 7: the response from I dropped it like anty where about

999
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 7: that probably could cleaned up the top of the route.

1000
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 7: But we're about to drop get it next time you

1001
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 7: get a response like that versus come on, man, you

1002
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 7: got to catch the ball like I.

1003
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 6: Ain't trying to hear that. Now you now you're killing me.

1004
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 7: Now now I know I got to catch the ball

1005
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 7: on the next one. So I think this just that

1006
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 7: response from the coaches, I think helps him a lot.

1007
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 2: Can you so many different iterations of your career, different

1008
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: different parts of uh of kind of different stages.

1009
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: I guess I should say of your.

1010
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: Career, where does this year rank for you in terms

1011
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 2: of just your productivity? But we talked about this a

1012
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, you being the elder statesman in

1013
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: the room, and just the reverence of guys like Trey

1014
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: and Ladd and Q have towards you just to be

1015
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 2: able to experience their success as well as your own.

1016
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 7: It's it's definitely at the top. You know, I've had

1017
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 7: a lot of great years. I had a lot of

1018
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 7: great teammates, and you know this year, the travel, you know,

1019
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 7: the plane rides, a lot of them, they all they

1020
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 7: all been top five. I ain't gonna lot to you.

1021
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 7: We have we have good times and you know, we

1022
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 7: uh great chemistry with each other around it, around the

1023
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 7: locker room.

1024
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: You mentioned Herbert a couple of times.

1025
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 5: UH.

1026
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 3: You stepped away for a year, you came back a

1027
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 3: lot of people think this is his best year that

1028
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 3: he's had. You know, statistically, he's had a five thousand

1029
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 3: yard passing, you know that kind of stuff. It's not

1030
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: that statistically, but just kind of what what you've seen

1031
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 3: from him and maybe what's stepping away for a year

1032
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 3: and then coming back to be with him kind of

1033
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: did for you is as far as kind of how

1034
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 3: you you view him and what kind of quarterback he's become.

1035
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, just seeing his growth. I remember when I first

1036
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 7: got back. I don't think he missed the pass for

1037
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 7: like a week and a half, two weeks straight.

1038
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 6: I'm like, yo, he locked in whatever he got going on.

1039
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 7: He had the red contact, I'm like, hey, he locked

1040
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 7: in right now. So yeah, just seeing his growth, his composure,

1041
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 7: the way he understands the offense now, you know, I

1042
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 7: had him when he was a rookie, So just having

1043
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 7: to go through those, you know what those pains and

1044
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 7: growings of the other offense, understanding when and when not

1045
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 7: to understand and when the check understanding when it is blitch,

1046
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 7: when it is blitz zero, they might be fooling us.

1047
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 7: I think he has a great you know, grasp it

1048
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 7: right now, and that just comes with knowing our offense.

1049
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 7: You know, he knows what we want to be in.

1050
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 7: He knows if they do fool us, he knows, he

1051
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 7: knows the outs of it. So I think just him

1052
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 7: just mastering the game plan on top of his talent.

1053
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 7: His talents through the roof probably the best in the league.

1054
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 7: So him just mastering the game plan, he don't have

1055
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 7: to think too much.

1056
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna throw it back to twenty thirteen real quick

1057
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 5: and correct me if I'm wrong, But I remember there

1058
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 5: was a time right all the great things that you've done,

1059
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 5: and early in our early in our rookie camp, I

1060
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 5: think it was yeah, And I don't know if it

1061
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 5: was injuries or something, you know, just long days of camp.

1062
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 5: There was a time you was thinking about retiring and

1063
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 5: going into music early early, And I don't know if

1064
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 5: Charge Nation really knows that speak on that way just

1065
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 5: something off topic because it's just it's a truth topic.

1066
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 5: But it just goes to show like if you, if

1067
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 5: you persevere, if you grind, look at the career that

1068
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 5: you've made right early and often you might have been

1069
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 5: some doubts and you have made a Hall of Fame

1070
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 5: career out of your respect to career man, So just

1071
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 5: speak on that and how that kind of almost happened

1072
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 5: and where you are now.

1073
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, I say it started just coming into training camp.

1074
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 7: I was out of shape, wasn't really wasn't really ready

1075
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 7: to go. So as soon as we got the rookie

1076
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 7: minie camp handstring right away. So so then they was

1077
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 7: already looking at me. Funny, I'm like, whatever, I know

1078
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 7: I could play. So then we get the training camp.

1079
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 7: I think I'm with the threes. I'm like, ash, now,

1080
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 7: I ain't never been with the threes. I ain't never

1081
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 7: did this. I'm always been you know, plugged me in

1082
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 7: with the ones. So then we're going through it and

1083
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 7: I never really jumped up the depth chart, you know,

1084
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 7: through the whole thing. And then we get to the

1085
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 7: first game. You know, thecenario has got the a cl

1086
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 7: during the training camp. So I'm like, okay, I'm I

1087
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 7: know I'm about to be in there now. So then

1088
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 7: we get to the first game. I ain't play one play.

1089
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 7: I called him mom right away, I'm not doing it.

1090
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 7: I'm not about to watch these people play. But yeah,

1091
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 7: that's basically what it was. He was like, now you

1092
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 7: got to stick in there, you know, you basically did

1093
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 7: your whole life for this. This is where you want

1094
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 7: to be, you know, just let go and let guy

1095
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 7: and then that's what we did. We prayed right there

1096
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 7: that day in the parking lot. Next game, Malcom got

1097
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 7: hurt and it's been up.

1098
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 5: I think that was Philly game. Right, Philly, he got hurt,

1099
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 5: you went in and the rest was history.

1100
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 7: Many Yeah, and then after that just locking with Phil.

1101
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 6: Feel what you want for sure? Uh?

1102
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: One more go around? Final one for me, Keenan. I

1103
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: look at so many plays throughout the course of the season.

1104
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 2: I think the most important play that you were involved in,

1105
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: and maybe the most spectacular play was that touchdown catch.

1106
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: Week three against the Broncos. Well, you guys, look like

1107
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: it was.

1108
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: It was getting away from you justin makes maybe the

1109
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: most unbelievable throw I've ever seen, and just an equally

1110
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: impressive catch. What do you remember about that play and

1111
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 2: just kind of how that kind of set the tone

1112
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 2: for the year, punctuating like the three and those start.

1113
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, what I remember about it is everybody going crazy

1114
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 7: and was.

1115
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 6: Like, hey, you see what Herbal did.

1116
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 7: I'm like, no, I ain't see what Herbal did.

1117
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 6: I thought I went crazy. I thought I went crazy

1118
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 6: on let me go see what herbal did.

1119
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 7: And then you watch it back and you're like, oh,

1120
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 7: I ain't really do nothing. So I think he had

1121
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 7: already made like three or four plays like that throughout

1122
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 7: the game, just evading the sack. And then you know

1123
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 7: he switches it with his left hand, throws him off right,

1124
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 7: come back, throw it in front of the dude to

1125
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 7: the only spot where the dude can't smack it away.

1126
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, yeah, he's different, He's different.

1127
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 3: So last one for me, keenan, for the folks out there,

1128
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: the kids that are playing, what's the secret the third down?

1129
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: Why is it thurner key?

1130
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 6: And what? What?

1131
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 3: What makes a great receiver deliver on the money down?

1132
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 7: Game plan Number one? You know, being in the right

1133
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 7: position shod to get the ball. I think that's where

1134
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 7: it starts. And then the secondly, having that connection with

1135
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 7: the quarterback, knowing where he wants me, knowing where I

1136
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 7: need to get to the time and I need to

1137
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 7: get there if the look changes from the defense, knowing

1138
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 7: how to adjust to it. And then then just having

1139
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 7: that mindset, like I said earlier, I know I know

1140
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 7: he's throwing me the ball, so I gotta be there.

1141
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

1142
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 5: Last one non football topic for me, but charging nation.

1143
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 5: Man Keenan has a son named Cato.

1162
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: Well, gentlemen, Keenan, former teammate of years. He seems like

1163
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: he's ready to rock.

1164
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: He's ready to rock.

1165
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 6: Man.

1166
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 5: It's just crazy to see that he continues to do

1167
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 5: it at a high level this late in his career.

1168
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 5: But I kind of always knew it would be that

1169
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 5: seeing him play from when he came in the league,

1170
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 5: because he's never been the fastest guy, right, He's always

1171
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 5: been a craftsmanship. He's always had craftsmanship in his route running,

1172
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 5: knows how to get in out of breaks, really good releases,

1173
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 5: and like I said, man, he's going to go down

1174
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 5: as the best Charger receiver to play the game.

1175
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 4: And he's doing it at a high level. Thirty and

1176
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 4: keenan man for a reason.

1177
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's look, he's going to be critical, got to

1178
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 3: stay on the field, you know, convert money downs, third downs.

1179
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 3: He's as good at it as anyone. I do think

1180
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 3: his return he mentioned Lad has taken a little bit

1181
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: away from Ladd. You know, this team didn't have a

1182
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 3: thousand yard receiver this year. We remember what Lad did

1183
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 3: last year against the team that should have drafted him

1184
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: but traded back and let the Charger scoop him up.

1185
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 3: You know, ended up with two touchdowns. I think almost

1186
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 3: one hundred yards, if not over one hundred yards and

1187
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: I'd like to see that again out there. So I

1188
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 3: do think that it's just, look, it's all so obvious,

1189
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: right if these teams, when you have two teams that

1190
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 3: appear to be this close and do things so similarly,

1191
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 3: third downs, score touchdowns, not field goals. When you're in

1192
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 3: the red zone, don't turn the ball over. You know,

1193
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: whoever does that is probably going to get out of

1194
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: here with the tight win. That's just kind of how

1195
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: I envision it. And when you have someone like like

1196
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 3: when you look at their receiving course to Fan Diggs

1197
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: had a good year, you know, and he's a good receiver,

1198
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 3: and he's like King, he's an old soul, you know,

1199
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 3: his eleventh year.

1200
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: But when I look at.

1201
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: Kind of Stefan, when I go through his game logs,

1202
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, we had a buck fifty against the Ravens,

1203
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: and he had a buck forty against the Bills. It's

1204
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 3: like twenty six yards, thirty eight yards, forty one yards,

1205
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 3: twenty two yards, thirty five. There's so many of those

1206
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 3: games in there. So whereas Keenan, you go through it

1207
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: and it's like three first downs, four first downs, four

1208
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: first downs, five first downs, four first like that's what

1209
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 3: he does, right, and that's what he's here for. And

1210
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 3: I think he alluded to that. He's like, you know,

1211
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 3: I know what my role is. I know you look

1212
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 3: at the snapcounts. It's not a super high snapcount. You know.

1213
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 3: Often it's Trey Ladd and Q out there, and then

1214
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 3: it's third down and here comes Keenan. He's just going

1215
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: to extend this drive and keep the defense off the

1216
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 3: field and let them get more of a breather so

1217
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 3: they can go firing out. So I think he is

1218
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 3: going to be one of the more important players in

1219
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: this game, because if you can extend drives, you can

1220
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 3: get your defense rest. It's going to be cold and

1221
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 3: maybe wet out there, it's going to go a long way.

1222
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Justin's gonna know where he is at all times

1223
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: for sure. And that kind of leads us to the

1224
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 2: Justin conversation.

1225
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 6: Man.

1226
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't say enough about what he's done

1227
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 2: this year to will this team to eleven wins, regardless

1228
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: of what happened Sunday. The conversation around Justin in January,

1229
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, got to win a playoff game. Got

1230
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: to win a playoff game. A lot of stuff out

1231
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: of his control. But at the same time, you know,

1232
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 2: you look at what happened to Jacksonville up twenty seven nothing,

1233
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: you look at what happened last January four picks, a

1234
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: game that just got away from the entire team. Justin

1235
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: has talked about Houston candidly and just what that game

1236
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 2: felt like and how he don't want to feel like

1237
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: that again, and just that playoff experience money. Whether it's

1238
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: Justin or Derwin or coach Harball, I look at that,

1239
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: and I look at this Patriots team with a lot

1240
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 2: of young pupps, and it seems like the Chargers at

1241
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 2: least have been there before and know what it feels like.

1242
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: They don't want to have that salty taste a game.

1243
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 3: No, And I'm sure it's a talking point amongst the

1244
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: players and the coaches, Like, think about what this guy's

1245
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: been through this year, man, Think about how many times

1246
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 3: he's been hit, how many times he's been dragged down,

1247
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 3: how many times he's been pressured, broken hand, you know,

1248
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: all the other issues that he's had, and he just

1249
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 3: keeps getting back up, and he wills this team to

1250
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: eleven wins. I think it was Popper who wrote about it.

1251
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: And made and I didn't even think about it. It was

1252
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 3: such a perfect analogy. He's like, think about the lost

1253
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 3: season of the Rams with Matt Stafford in twenty twenty

1254
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 3: two because they lost their offensive lineman. And McVeigh was

1255
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 3: just like, yeah, I mean, when you lose your old lineman,

1256
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 3: what do you expect? And they go five and twelve,

1257
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 3: you know, And Herbert's like, the hell with that. You know,

1258
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 3: we're going eleven and six. I don't care what it

1259
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: looks like out there. And so to me, it's I'm

1260
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 3: sure you know. And Derwin said it on the guys

1261
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball talk about how

1262
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 3: inspired they are by that guy. Like, to me, it's

1263
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 3: just again, it's just like those you cannot have critical mistakes.

1264
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: I think about the game against the Texans, right, and

1265
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: you've got a touchdown that turns into an interception at

1266
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 3: the one yard line. You know, you've got missed kicks,

1267
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 3: You've got things that tilted a game that had they won,

1268
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 3: they would have been playing for the division in Week eighteen.

1269
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 3: And I do think that player on this roster is

1270
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 3: going to be hyper focused and hopefully not too much

1271
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 3: where they get uncomfortable. But Man, you want to do

1272
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 3: it for ten? Guy deserves better than sort of what

1273
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 3: you know, foreignerceptions. Yeah, two of them were not on him,

1274
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 3: you know. And on that opening drive they kick a

1275
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 3: field goal on the turnover, you know, will this least

1276
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 3: wide open in the flat for a first down that

1277
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna have a first and goal from like the

1278
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: eight yard lining just flat out drops a pass and

1279
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 3: it's like those things don't get discussed. It's just oh,

1280
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 3: justin Herbert through foreignerceptions. And so I just hopeful that

1281
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: that focus can be pinpoint and they can deliver. You

1282
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 3: know what, I think he and everyone on this team

1283
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 3: so richly deserve.

1284
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 4: Money. How do I follow that? You are the man money?

1285
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 3: Know?

1286
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 5: I agree with everything you said. Man, obviously like ten,

1287
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 5: you know the way he's battled this year, the media

1288
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 5: has been all over him about you know, his offensive line.

1289
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 5: He never wants blames and never wants points a finger.

1290
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 5: And he's a guy that guys on the team and

1291
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 5: the roster in this organization would run.

1292
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 4: Through a brick wall. For Man.

1293
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 5: I'm hoping and wishing and I know that he'll him

1294
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 5: out here. I'm on Sunday and put on a show

1295
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 5: for the world to see.

1296
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 2: We've talked about so many different things, and it seemingly

1297
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: comes down that just can they protect Can they protect

1298
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert? Can they give him enough time to throw

1299
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: it to Ladd and Keen and Q? And can they

1300
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: open up holes for Keimani and Omari and and and

1301
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 2: and keep him upright?

1302
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

1303
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 2: You know, the the Jamari saw your kind of stabilizing

1304
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 2: force on the left side those few weeks before he

1305
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 2: got hurt. That was a big deal and I felt

1306
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: like that was a kind of like a mini breakthrough

1307
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: for this offensive line.

1308
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: So you hope he comes back.

1309
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 3: Money.

1310
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: You mentioned Mackay being kind of injured all year, Well,

1311
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: those two weeks come in handy. Or do you just

1312
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 2: have Trevor Penning available ready to go? You know that

1313
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: that sixth offensive lineman. I think Penning's probably going to

1314
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 2: have an impact in this game, whether he's the sixth

1315
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 2: offensive lineman or maybe playing.

1316
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 3: Right Maybe that's the way you do it. You know,

1317
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 3: you just play Penning at right guard and if if

1318
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 3: back then's healthy enough, when it's time to go, jumbo,

1319
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 3: Makai and there at right guard and Trevor Penning's your jumbo.

1320
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 3: You know, because it's Look, they were the one that

1321
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 3: got this the ball rolling in the NFL, and the

1322
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 3: Patriots picked up on it because they got there. Munford,

1323
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 3: who's been out there is their sixth offensive lineman now

1324
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks where they've been gashing in

1325
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 3: the run game, and they know the kind of advantage

1326
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 3: that can build. So I think they desperately need to

1327
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: keep that in their playbook. So maybe that's a way

1328
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 3: that you know, you can still take advantage of, you know,

1329
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: is mackay health more healthy, and keep him a part

1330
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 3: of the game plan without putting him in there, you

1331
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 3: know too much, considering how dogged he's been by injuries

1332
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 3: all season.

1333
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know Stefan Diggs's you mentioned him, and I

1334
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: just I ears perk up a little bit because he

1335
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: has had games where you know, he hasn't done much,

1336
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: but like it seems like when the game is big,

1337
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: have a big one and it means something.

1338
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: He delivers too. So like that's of all the receivers

1339
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: and pass catchers.

1340
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 2: We know, Hunter Henry's in the mixed former Charger, your

1341
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: former he's had a great year, who's had an awesome year.

1342
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 2: But Digg seems to be the guy that like he

1343
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 2: can't let him get loose and kind of gain confidence

1344
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the sixty minutes.

1345
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a smart plug for their offense.

1346
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 5: Right, he's the leader. He's trying to to a really

1347
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 5: big time leader for that organization. We talk about Hunter Henry,

1348
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 5: he's a very very valuable option for Drake May over

1349
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 5: the ball. He does a really good job in the

1350
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 5: second level. But when you look at them and you

1351
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 5: mention it, like his numbers, like, there's not one all

1352
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 5: those steff On Diggs is who he is.

1353
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 4: There's not one guy where you can say Drake May

1354
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 4: just gohoes to no. Right, he spreads the balls spread out.

1355
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 5: So that's a little bit tough for defense to be like, Okay,

1356
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 5: on third down, who are we rolling the coverage to,

1357
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 5: who are we doubling? Who are we singling? You don't

1358
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 5: really know because he does a good job of just

1359
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 5: dishing it everywhere. Right, So that's going to be a

1360
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 5: challenge for the defense in a hole and Jesse Minner,

1361
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 5: but I think they're for the challenge.

1362
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm looking at it right now. Shoot, I

1363
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: lost it. But yeah, I mentioned Steph had Stephan had

1364
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 3: one thousand yards, but behind him he got let's see

1365
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 3: what we got, he had one thy thirteen Hunter Henry's

1366
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 3: like I said, he had a monster year, seven sixty

1367
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 3: eight and seven touchdowns, Booty five fifty one, MATC Collins

1368
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: five fifty, Tomorrow Douglas for forty, Ramondrae Stevenson three forty five,

1369
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So he spreads it and

1370
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 3: it's hard. That's harder to cover. Then you know, hey,

1371
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: we got to take away this duet. You know. So

1372
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: he's very much like justin Herbert. Where what's Herbert got

1373
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 3: four guys or five guys that have over five hundred

1374
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: yards receiving this year? U q Ladd Yeah, four so

1375
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 3: keenan q Ladd and Ronde Yeah. So?

1376
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 6: Uh?

1377
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: Final thoughts, uh, any final thoughts?

1378
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 3: Execute man play play bully ball. You know the Bully's

1379
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 3: gonna win this game. That's what this is going to

1380
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: come down to. Front lines, O line, VD line, don't

1381
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 3: make a critical mistake, make your kicks. It's gonna be

1382
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 3: it'll be a freaking rock fight. Yeah, and it's whoever

1383
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 3: walks away is going to feel like they probably left
