1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Its late fifteen to ten touched up chers.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: What's up?

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: Guys? Welcome into a bye week edition of Chargers Weekly,

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: as always, joined by Matt Mundy Smith. Chargers even up

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 3: their record two and two entering the bye beating the

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: Raiders Never Easy money. Hey, we have a million, that's right.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 4: I didn't know if this was mail bag day or

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 4: if next week was mail bag day because we won't

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 4: have a game to talk about or how we were

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 4: doing it. I forgot, so we got yes. Well, it's

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 4: a good week to get all the questions right. I mean,

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 4: jac gets traded yesterday, so I'm sure there's a lot

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 4: about that.

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of JC, a lot of Quinton, and

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: a lot of other like just thoughtful questions. Is the

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: Chargers enter their by and have Dallas and Kansas City

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: out of the gate. But before we get into the

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: mail bag, let's just rewind and talk about that Raiders game,

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: Never Easy. I did love your call overall, and specifically

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: the Jerry Tillery circled and that was almost the moment

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: where I think the switch went off for the Chargers.

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: I think these scored two touchdowns after that, and it

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: got interesting in the fourth. But what a weird game.

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: It's always a weird game between the Raiders in charge.

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: I just couldn't move the football in the second half,

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: you know, and DJ jinxed it because in the first

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: half he said, I think we're gonna get our first

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: blowout money, and I was like, Eh, hold your tongue,

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: you know, let's let's just hold your tongue till the

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: fourth quarter at least. And for whatever reason, they well not,

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, you know, I think that first the

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 4: first drive set the tone, right, Cole gets this monster

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: punt that pins him inside the five, and the first

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: play is a negative two rush, you know, back to

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: the three, and then you have a Quinton drop on

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: third down that would have allowed you to move the

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: sticks and you know, get a little bit of breathing

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: room and maybe you pick up where you leave off.

39
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: And here's your middle eight, right, you score two touchdowns

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: before the half, and now you get a third one

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: here and you go up thirty one to seven, and

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: then the game is over. But so three and out

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: and JK had some issues punting the ball for whatever

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: reason again, and I'm sure that stuff they're going to

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: work out, and they'll figure out, you know. I remember

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: Don Mattingly when we were talking to him once head.

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: I can't remember what player we were talking about, but

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: he just said, when you have someone that's done it

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: for multiple seasons, it's there. You just have to find it.

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: It's you just got to figure out where it is

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: and you don't get too worried about that. You know,

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: slumps occur, and so like that's the thing with JK. Yeah,

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: well last year he was the best punter in football,

54
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: so they'll find it. So I'll just put that aside.

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: But so that's kind of what the issue was, right.

56
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: You look at the second half, Chris, and here it

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: is three plays, fifty five seconds. The interception was seven plays,

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: three minutes, punt, two minutes, downs, twenty nine seconds. Those

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: are their four possessions besides the end of the game,

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: which was you know, and I don't count that one

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: because again, I'm just talking about what led them to

62
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 4: that point where it's twenty four to seventeen. So you're

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: you've got a defense out on the field for all.

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: But what one minute.

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 4: That's four minutes, six minutes of the second half, all

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: but six minutes of the second half. Your defense is

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: on the field and that's how you get a blowout

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: turn into a close game.

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: A lot of injuries on the defensive side, so I

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: give this second. They holding up no Marlow and lane

71
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: Lane no Joey. Khalil was unbelievable. I mean, some of

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: those sacks money, it looked like vintage Khalil, mack Aight,

73
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: O'Connell obviously his his first start. So you know, it's

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: a little bit different from preseason right.

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: The seasons season.

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. It's a lie.

77
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: It's just it's it's a liar, like the idea that

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: you're going to put any stock. And we said this

79
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: before the game, you know, when we were previewing it,

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: and and you know, you never who knows, you know,

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: rookie could be great.

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: You know CJ.

83
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: Stroud has been great. So it's it's not like it's

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: not possible. But the point I brought up was, don't

85
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: you remember the the Zach Wilson is a changed player

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: and look at all that Aaron Rodgers has done for him,

87
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: and how great does he look in the preseason, And

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: it's like, that's great, and I hope it's you know,

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: I hope it works out for Zach. But I was like,

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: you can't, can't say that Zach is fixed from the preseason.

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's crazy.

92
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: So I think a tip of the cap to Brandon

93
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: Staley for just making things super muddy. You know, he's

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: pretty much rushing for the whole time. Occasionally he brought

95
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: a fifth player, but rarely he had. You know, Eric

96
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: Kendricks was dropping a little bit deeper and in different

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: spots at different times, and you could tell it just

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 4: Aidan O'Connell didn't quite know what he was looking at.

99
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: The safety's played great, and it's just that extra beat

100
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: right that It's it's all you need.

101
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: It's like two.

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: Tenths of a second difference from hold, you know, getting

103
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: rid of the ball at two point four and now

104
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: you're getting rid of the ball at two point seventy five.

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: And that's I think that's what O'Connell was clocking in at.

106
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: And that's that's all you need. The interesting thing for me,

107
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: Chris going back and watching every one of those sacks,

108
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: and I went back and when I watched the sacks,

109
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 4: I then went back and watched all of Tuley's rushes.

110
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: They were doubling Tooley the whole time like it was.

111
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: I think I counted, what was it. I think he

112
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 4: had thirty seven pass rushes on the thirty seven he

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: was doubled twenty eight times, all but nine, and they

114
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: were leaving Khalil single. It was just like it was

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: just the craziest thing. But I think it speaks to

116
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: how good Tooley's been and it was just odd to see.

117
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: It's like you would think after the third sack or

118
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 4: the fourth sack that he would start sending out toward

119
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: Kaleb was like, no, I'm just gonna keep doubling this guy,

120
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: and he kept wrecking it.

121
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: The juxtaposition of Tooley and then I look at the

122
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: top ten pick for the Raiders Wilson who Keenan. But

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: I mean that was basically Keen's having an all Pro season,

124
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: And if you put everything together as a blocker, as

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: a receiver, as a quarterback for a play, you could

126
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: tell that, you know, it wasn't a huge game for

127
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: him through the three catches thirty two yards, had that touchdown,

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: But all the little things that Keenan does, I think

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: kind of energize the offense. And I don't want to

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: put a lot of stock into the whole Tillery thing.

131
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: But but Buddy, I feel like there are plays throughout

132
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: the course of a season where yeah, it's it's good

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: to see a team wake up a little bit. And

134
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: and I thought that that hit on Justin on the sideline.

135
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: You see almost fifty two dudes circle Jerry, and I

136
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: feel like that is the type of play that can

137
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: kind of like show a bit of togetherness that you

138
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: know sometimes when you're you're losing close games and the

139
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: defense is given up a bunch of points and the

140
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: offense stalls out the end of games, you know, you

141
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: wonder is everybody on the same page. And I felt

142
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: like that was a play that kind of illustrated like,

143
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: hey man, we got a quarterback, offense, defense, special teams, coaches,

144
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: staff members. It was actually a pretty cool sight to

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: see for me.

146
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think number one the fact that Herbert just

147
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: popped up like nothing happened and he's like, yeah, whatever,

148
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm just I gotta play to run, let's go, or

149
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: we get into the huddle or what are we doing?

150
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: And I love that the first person in there was

151
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: Scott matt Locke, a rookie who's new to the team,

152
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: and yeah, no helmet on and yet he's the first

153
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: guy that's in there mixing it up. So that's a

154
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: good I love that Derwin's not even dressed and he's

155
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: in the middle of it, grabbing Tillery by the face

156
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: mask like that's it's great to see, you know. And

157
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: that's what happens. You rally around your captain, and that's

158
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: what Herbert is and he doesn't need it. He's the

159
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: biggest guy out there. So that's what's kind of funny

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: about it, is all these guys are coming in and

161
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: they're sixty pounds lighter than Justin is and they're trying

162
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: to mix it up, and it's it's great to see it.

163
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: Like I you know, we know Tillery, we remember the

164
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: Trey Pipkins play in practice, and it's just like that's

165
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: who he is and that's why he's not here, and and.

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: It's just stupid.

167
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: It's it's so dumb making a play like that where

168
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: you could really hurt someone. And you know what, I

169
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: had someone mention this and it made sense. He's like,

170
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: if you go back and you look at the Drew

171
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: Bledsoe play where he got the punctured lung that led

172
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: to Tom Brady getting that start it's very similar. It

173
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: is a very similar looking play where Drew was pulling

174
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: up thinking okay, I'm out of bounds and sort of

175
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: lets his guard up and the d lineman just crushes

176
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: him right in the side and it broke a rib

177
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: and it punctured along and you know, changed the course

178
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: of football perhaps forever. And that's kind of how big

179
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: that hit was. The difference is, as tall as Drew is,

180
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: he didn't have that kind of you know, he doesn't

181
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: have the the build that Justin does, you know, of

182
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: a thickness to be able to take those hits, and

183
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: that's you know, that's what goes into drafting a quarterback,

184
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: you know, and when people are saying, well, you know,

185
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: when they're when they're breaking down the stats or what

186
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: kind of ball does he throw us out? Like people,

187
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: I think forget at the punishment that that position can

188
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: take at times and how much of an advantage you

189
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: have when you have someone like a Josh Allen or

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert back there that can take that sort of

191
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 4: abuse and it doesn't affect them like it might somebody else.

192
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, just an unnecessary hit and you know, we don't

193
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 3: need to belabor it. But it's it was. It was

194
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: good to see. I thought it was good to see

195
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: from a team building aspect, and this by comes at

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: the right time. Money. We have so many questions. The offense,

197
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: to me, is going to have to figure some things

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: out during the bye week. Hopefully you get Austin back.

199
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: Not having Corey is a big deal. And you know,

200
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: obviously in the moment when Mike Williams goes down, you

201
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: know it's a crushing blow. But to see how the

202
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: offense looked Sunday without Mike Williams, man, it's it's jarring

203
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: to know that he's not going to be around and

204
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: they're going to have to make some changes offensively in

205
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: an effort to get the ball down the football field.

206
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: We have a lot of questions as it pertains Quintin Johnston,

207
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: let's just get into the lead. I guess of the

208
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: week and J. C. Jackson, who was active for the

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: game Sunday, didn't play a snap, traded to the Patriots,

210
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: essentially a pick swap, and jac is just out of

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: the building now. So let's I think almost like twenty

212
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: to thirty percent of the questions were about JC. You had,

213
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: you had the sunk cost analogy, and somebody had that question.

214
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: So I thought that'd be a great place to start,

215
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: because you tweeted that yesterday and somebody kind of wanted

216
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: a little.

217
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Bit more insoid Yeah.

218
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: So the idea of sunk costs versus opportunity cost, right,

219
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: it's an economics theory term. Sun cost is what you've

220
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: you've already spent, right, You've you've already spent this money.

221
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: Your asset is not performing. So let's just say I

222
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: buy a stock. I buy stock a stock A has

223
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: now lost forty percent of its value. I can't get

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: over the fact that I have now lost forty percent

225
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: of my money. It's drive me crazy, and so I'm

226
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: going to keep my asset in the hopes that it

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: turns around. I get all of my original investment back

228
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: and I turn a profit. Well, in the meantime, I

229
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: could have taken that loss, and I could have take

230
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: let's just say it's ten thousand dollars, right, I could

231
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 4: have taken that six thousand dollars I've lost four grand

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: and invested it in a separate asset that will then grow.

233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: I take my loss, but I want that six thousand

234
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: dollars somewhere else where it has the opportunity to turn

235
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: a profit because it's not happening in asset A. So

236
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: I need to move that six grand to asset B.

237
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: Take my loss. That's my sunk cost. The four grand

238
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: is lost. Let's get that six grand working. In the

239
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: case of JC, you gave him a five year, eighty

240
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: two and a half million dollar deal. If he stays

241
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: on the team or if you trade him, it's still

242
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: going to cost you eighteen million bucks against the cap

243
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: next year in dead money. There's no getting around that.

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: If he stays on the team, you would have to

245
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: renegotiate the deal, add years on the back end, probably

246
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: give him a little bit more money to try to

247
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: stretch it out to less than that. That's it's not changing.

248
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: That cost is sunk. You are giving that player eighteen

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: or nineteen or twenty. I don't know what the exact

250
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: number is. I think it's like almost nineteen million bucks

251
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: of your cap next year, regardless it's not working. He's

252
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: a healthy scratch one week and he's active and doesn't

253
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 4: play a single snap the next. So let's move on.

254
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: Your opportunity cost is JC is now not hanging over

255
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 4: your head. You can add another corner to the roster.

256
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: Maybe you a trade for a corner. Maybe you like

257
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: what you've seen from a practice squad player, and now

258
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 4: they can be active on game day and you can

259
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: give them opportunities, and those opportunities could be more profitable

260
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: for the team than the opportunities that were given to JC.

261
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: And that's the idea behind it. And I commend Tom in,

262
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: John Spanos and the team for saying, Okay, we lost

263
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: a lot of money here. We wrote a check for

264
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 4: whatever the signing bonus and guarantee was for these first

265
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: two years that they're paying the most of forty fifty

266
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: million bucks.

267
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: But you chalk it up.

268
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: You chalk it up to a loss, and you appreciate

269
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: that someone like Jossier is out there and Assante is

270
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: out there, and Mikey is out there, and those three

271
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: corners combined are only costing you twelve thirteen million bucks.

272
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: So you made up for it, you know, it's it's all.

273
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: You can't get fixated on the sunk cost and hope

274
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: that somehow you can get a return on that investment,

275
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: because it's not coming. And so I appreciated that they

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: moved on from that. Now will they trade for a corner.

277
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: You know, sorry, Chris, go.

278
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: Ahead, no, no, no, no, I just keep going. I Senor

279
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: Snappy was the one who asked that question. The Charges

280
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: did sign former Bronco and I guess former charger. He's

281
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: saying Bassie from Denver, so it just adds death. But

282
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: going back to what you were saying, do they trade

283
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: for a corner?

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 4: I mean it's possible, right you know, the deadline's coming

285
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: up and teams, you know, would have certainly been very

286
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: interesting if Denver were zero and four as they were

287
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: getting blown out by the Bears, who couldn't close that

288
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 4: thing out, you know, had they closed that out, and

289
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: you know fields doesn't fumble that ball, that's a scoop

290
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 4: and score, and I think you end up at least

291
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 4: even just punting that ball away and they probably win

292
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 4: that game. And I think now you're talking about a

293
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: fire sale there, you know, when when you go through

294
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: the standings, and so I'm gonna just kind of get

295
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: a look at them right now here, Chris. You know

296
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: when you when you see going to the bottom here,

297
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: you know the Panthers are rebuilding the Bears or you

298
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: know that's the Chase Claypool that we talked about. You know,

299
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: there's like, it'll be interesting to see what the Raiders

300
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: do with the Devonte Adams. They've got a very soft

301
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: stretch in their schedule coming up. But I think you

302
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: start looking at these teams toward the bottom and I

303
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: think it's worth asking, you know, if things continue to

304
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: go bad, if they're one and five, if they're two

305
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: and six, when the deadline rolls around, there's gonna be

306
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: some players available. And you know, if you're the Broncos

307
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: and it continues to go badly, you've got some really

308
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: good players there. You know, Patrick Surtan, are you really

309
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: gonna give make him the highest paid corner in the

310
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: league moving forward? Justin Simmons is one of the highest

311
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: paid safeties. What are you gonna do with Courtland Sutton,

312
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: Jerry che you know what I mean? The list goes

313
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: on and I don't know.

314
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: So this is very interesting. Last year, really, Randy Gregory

315
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: was signed by the Broncos. J C. Jackson was signed

316
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: by the Chargers. Channel Jones was signed by the Raiders.

317
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: All on an effort to dethrone Kinds of City. All

318
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: three of these guys get released within a week of

319
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: each other. In Week four, Week five, it's like, I mean,

320
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: I think it's all almost speechless because those were the

321
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: three biggest signings money in the AFC West last year,

322
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: all gone.

323
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 4: And I think it's a reminder. And when Tom Tellsco

324
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: says it, you know, Charger fans think, oh, the team

325
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: is cheap, But it's a true point. There's a reason

326
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: why guys are free agents. Nobody has a better evaluation

327
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: of them than their current team. And so when a

328
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: current team is willing to let go of an all

329
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: pro leading the league in interceptions corner like j C. Jackson,

330
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: and we know how important corners are to Bill Belichick,

331
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: a secondary coach, that's what he does. You know, nobody

332
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: knows secondary better than Bill, right, so when they let

333
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: him go, you should say, eh, red flag. You know

334
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: when Randy Gregor, and I know the Gregory thing was

335
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: weird with the Cowboys, right, they tried to resign him

336
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: and it just got weird in the guarantees and the offsets,

337
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: and it was the language that he got all upset about,

338
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: which is why I ended up in Denver. But you know,

339
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: Chandler Jones was the straw that stirred the drink for

340
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 4: the for the Cardinals on defense and they.

341
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Let him walk.

342
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: So I think that's something to remember when your team

343
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: has a bunch of money to spend. Look how much

344
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: money the Bear spent on linebackers, you know this offseason

345
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: Tremaine Edmonds like and they're terrible. So I think it's

346
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: important to remember your best way to, you know, to

347
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: build a quality roster is to draft well and develop

348
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: that that is most likely your path to, you know,

349
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: to success. Like you look at at the Eagles and

350
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers, and the majority of their players

351
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: are draft and develop. Up and down that O line

352
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: for the Eagles, up and down that D line for

353
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. You know, same with the Chiefs.

354
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: Look at how good their defense is playing. And they

355
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: invested all that draft capital. You know, the big money

356
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: splash they had was Frank Clark, and he never quite

357
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 4: worked out. He was good, he was never quite great

358
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 4: and what they wanted, you know, And now they've got

359
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: car Lofti's and they've got you know, Chris Jones of

360
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 4: course is the most important part of that. But Bolton

361
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: and Gay and like they're all those are all draft

362
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: and developed guys. And I think that's something that Tom

363
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: and John Spanos and the Chargers subscribe to. That's our

364
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: best path towards success, draft, develop, re sign, if they're

365
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: not good, you let them walk. And so it's it's

366
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: it's unfortunately an eighty two and a half million dollar

367
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 4: reminder that that tends to be the case, but it's

368
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: it's a reminder.

369
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: Another on JC. Do you think it was important for

370
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: this team money, especially at the buy just to eliminate

371
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: the distraction? I think, first and foremost in the secondary,

372
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: the fact that he was inactive in Minnesota, active but

373
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: didn't play, and just the results were not there. It's almost, hey,

374
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: you want that, you want that player to become what

375
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: he was in New England. But this kind of clears

376
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: the deck. Just see here, you're playing the slot, mikey Asante.

377
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: This is what we got and you know, we don't

378
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: have to worry about the distraction of whether JC is

379
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: inactive or active on a weekly basis. Do you think

380
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: that played into it as well?

381
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: And I think it's important for people to remember it's

382
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 4: not just the game, it's practice. You know, what reps

383
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: is he getting and if he's not getting the reps

384
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: that he wants and he's not about that, And it's

385
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: clear that he's not going to be playing, then why

386
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: carry him? Why not get somebody else like Bassie that

387
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: can come in and get some reps and you hope

388
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 4: flashes with the twos or flashes with the scout team

389
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: and can work his way, you know, into the rotation.

390
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: So I think that's like look at Dean Marlowe, right,

391
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: Like Dean marlow gets his opportunity, I'm not going to

392
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 4: be surprised if he jumps JT in the rotation. You know,

393
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: if you talk about the depth chart, he played great,

394
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: like Dean played really well. And I think that's what

395
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: we're talking about. You know, you have an opportunity presented

396
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: to yourself. How do you execute that opportunity? And with JC,

397
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 4: I think it was just clear that it wasn't going

398
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: to happen. Probably wasn't that, you know, and the injury

399
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: in his defense, maybe the injury slowed him down and

400
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 4: he wasn't one hundred percent.

401
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, then okay, just move.

402
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 4: On, you know, just it's it's not happening, and we

403
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: we need somebody right now. This team has to win

404
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: this year. Team has to win this year. And so

405
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 4: I think that's the kind of move. That's what that

406
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: move also signals for me, is that they recognize, Okay,

407
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: we need to get bodies in here because we've got

408
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 4: the Cowboys and the Chiefs coming out of this buy

409
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: and we at the very least have to split those

410
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 4: games and try to win both because now we're back

411
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 4: in the division. If we win both, we go to

412
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 4: Kansas City, we beat them. Now we got a game

413
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: up on them. So that's what it speaks to me

414
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 4: as well.

415
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: It's a good point to keep your eye on. I

416
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: think there's like maybe seven contenders right now, a lot

417
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: of mediocre teams, Buddy, a lot of teams that I

418
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 3: franklyer competing for that number one overall pick. And it

419
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: is worth looking at some of these teams at the

420
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: bottom and see what happens in Week five. Like you said,

421
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: if the Broncos lose to the Jets and Zach Wilson

422
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: on Sunday, maybe that's the signal to say, Okay, we

423
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: got to unload some of these contracts. There's teams like that,

424
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: you know, kind of littered throughout the NFC and obviously

425
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: the AFC two. It just it seems like there's only

426
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: like six or seven teams that have kind of raised

427
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: their hand as Super Bowl contenders at this point, which

428
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: seems a little low to me based on kind of

429
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 3: the parody that we see in the league year in

430
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: and year out. I don't know, what do you think

431
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: in terms of the contenders in both conferences? The AFC

432
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: I felt like entering it, it is like, okay, this

433
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: is stacked. We got the Bills, we got the Dolphins,

434
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: we got Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. We know what

435
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: happened there. The Bengals are struggling, the Steelers are struggling.

436
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 3: The AFC South is just two and two. Everybody's kind

437
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: of middling there. And the AFC West, you know, take

438
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 3: the Raiders in Broncos out of it already.

439
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 4: To me, it's you know, it's early, but I think

440
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: the Bills Dolphins in chiefs.

441
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Look, you know, the Bills are back to looking like

442
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: a buzzsaw.

443
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 4: They have a really good, really deep deep and they

444
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: didn't even have Von Miller for those first four games.

445
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: He's coming back, so now you got that on the

446
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: defensive line, you know, to go with what you already had.

447
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 4: They're so well coached, you know, Josh Allen is just

448
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: a killer. I mean, he has just got the I

449
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: mean he's got the His guts are second to none

450
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: in the league. I mean that guy will do anything.

451
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 4: He will crawl on his freaking tongue across broken glass

452
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: to get a first down. And I think you see

453
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 4: that all. You know, you're seeing that emerge. So the

454
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: Bills are certainly a contender. Obviously, I don't need to

455
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: say anything about the Chiefs. That Miami offense is crazy.

456
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: You know, the defense has got some issues, but the

457
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: offense is going to be a mess to deal with

458
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 4: a change, you know, with another couple of touchdowns. You know,

459
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: you had that to the mix with Tyreek and Jalen

460
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: Waddle and stuff. So I think they're legitimate. To me,

461
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 4: it's it's those three teams that have separated, you know,

462
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: and then you start going through it and it's like, Okay,

463
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: the Cleveland defense is really really good, but what's their

464
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: offense going to be is Deshaun Watson. You know, he

465
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 4: had a nice game last game, but then he missed

466
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: this pass game and wasn't really great in the first

467
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: two to that. So I think we're still waiting there.

468
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: Like you said, the AFC South. There's there's good qualities,

469
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: there's bad qualities. You always believe in that Titans defense,

470
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: you know, and and if they can just keep it close,

471
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: they're they're a headache because of Derrick Henry and how

472
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: he can take the air out of the ball and

473
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: really wear a team down going into the fourth court

474
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 4: of The Jags are interesting, you know, they just have

475
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 4: not looked good and it felt like they were trending

476
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 4: toward being that other team that could join that top

477
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: tier in the AFC, and that just has not happened.

478
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: The Texans are not just frisky, they look they're interesting.

479
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: They're really interesting the way they run the ball.

480
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: You know. CJ.

481
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: Stroud has had a heck of a start to his

482
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: career and obviously the Migo can coordinate the heck out

483
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 4: of a defense. So, you know, I think it's those

484
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 4: three in the AFC, Chiefs, Bills, Dolphins. I'm not quite

485
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: a buyer on the Ravens at three and one right now.

486
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: I need to see a little bit more there, you know,

487
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: especially with all the injuries on defense. And then for

488
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 4: the NFC, you knows, it's forty nine ers to me

489
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 4: and then a gap I think the forty nine Ers

490
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 4: are ahead, and then that next tier, you know, it's

491
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 4: the Eagles, It's the Cowboys. The Lions are interesting. The

492
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 4: Seahawks are interesting, but so Niners, and I would go,

493
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 4: next tier is Cowboys, Eagles. Then next tier is that Lions, Seahawks,

494
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: sort of collection of teams.

495
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jags are interesting too because I think the offseason, obviously,

496
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: the comeback win against the Chargers and then keeping a

497
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 3: close against the Cheese. I think that kind of masked

498
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence's first half against the Chargers. It threw for

499
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: four interceptions and people kind of forgot about that. I

500
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: don't know that Jackson could very well turn it around.

501
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: You mentioned like Aidan O'Connell the interceptions and the fumbles.

502
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: C J. Stroud is doing the complete opposite. He's taking

503
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 3: care of the football as a rookie quarterback. And if

504
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: you can do that in this league, you got to

505
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: shot every single Sunday. But let's get back to these questions.

506
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: Justin brought could we see more Marlow and Lane lined

507
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: up in safety to a Derwin to play near the

508
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage more when he comes back. That's that's

509
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: an interesting thing. Because you mentioned could Marlow maybe jump

510
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: J T. Woods if if he continues to play.

511
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: I think so because I think they've been looking for

512
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: that and they need it and they want it because

513
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: yet Derwin is just not as effective out there. He's

514
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: not that's not what he's best at. Can he do it? Yeah?

515
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: But is it? Is it where you want him?

516
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: No?

517
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: You want him near the ball. You want him on

518
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. You want him jamming a tight

519
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: end in the slot. You want him rushing the quarterback.

520
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: You want him run fits. You know you want That's

521
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: where you want Derwin all over the place near the ball,

522
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: that's where he excels.

523
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: And and JT.

524
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: You know, you think about that touchdown by Justin Jefferson.

525
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: He just has had issues. I think, you know early,

526
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 4: and it's early. He's a young player, you know, so

527
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: I think that you got to keep that in mind.

528
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: He's still getting better, he's still figuring this out and

529
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: it's a tough position. But like I said, you got

530
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 4: to win this year. Dean Marlin has been doing this

531
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: for seven years. The guy was a starter for a

532
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: full season. So if he shows that he he's a

533
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: depth at the system, that he's comfortable playing all the

534
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: different coverages that Brandon Staley's calling, and he takes good

535
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: angles and he makes tackles when they're there to be made.

536
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 4: Then yeah, I think I think we could see he

537
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 4: and a Loewie a little bit more moving forward. You know,

538
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 4: Rahim's always going to be active on game day because

539
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: he's such a good special teams player, So if you

540
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 4: want to mix him in there, you can. But simple

541
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: answer to that question, yeah, I could definitely see him

542
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 4: moving up the depth chart in JT.

543
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Sliding back.

544
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: From our buddy James, I'm posing the same question I

545
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 3: did before the season started with four games in what

546
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: is your biggest concern offense or defense? I'll let you

547
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: answer this money just really quickly. For me, I still

548
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: think it's the defense because you have Justin Herbert on offense,

549
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: but the offense without Mike Williams. I kind of mentioned

550
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: it earlier. You don't want to get back into that

551
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: same path from last year where you can't get the

552
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: ball down the field and I'm looking around and you

553
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: hope Geiton comes back because that's your hope to get

554
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: some speed on the outside. I don't know when that's

555
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: gonna be hopefully sooner than later. But they're gonna have

556
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: to figure some things out during this bye week with

557
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: Corey Linsley down, with Austin Eckler missing the last three games.

558
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued to see what the offense looks like

559
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: against the Cowboys with a week to prepare, an extra

560
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: week to prepare during the by Defensively, it's it's gonna

561
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 3: be the secondary until they prove otherwise. So James, that's

562
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: that's my take on it. Money, what do you think?

563
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 4: So I guess I'll be a little bit more specific

564
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 4: because we're four games in. So one, how how is

565
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 4: this finger injury going to affect Herbert playing under center,

566
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: taking snaps under center, gating some play action and how

567
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 4: good that? How big of a boon that's been? How

568
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 4: much better the running game has been with him under center?

569
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 4: And Austin Eckler, who I expect will be back against

570
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. You know, it made sense for him not

571
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: to play in the game against the Raiders. Just take

572
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: the extra two weeks and get a hundred percent or

573
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 4: as close to it as you can. So that's that's

574
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 4: one too. Is I thought we'll clap had a really

575
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 4: good game, so I'm fine there in terms of Corey's

576
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: He's not Corey, but but I thought he played that.

577
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 4: He certainly played fine. And Rashaan got bent back on

578
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: a sack in the game, and that's something I want

579
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: to keep an eye on because we don't see Rashaun

580
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: Slater give up four pressures in a game. And those

581
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: weren't four pressures to Max Crosby. You know, it was

582
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of tyree. Wilson got one. I think

583
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 4: it was divine. Diablo was opposite him on another and

584
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 4: he got bent back and his knee got kind of

585
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: caught up underneath justin on a sack from Crosby against Pipkins.

586
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: And so that's something that I think is super concerning

587
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 4: because that's sort of what led to a team that

588
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 4: did not have a whole lot of pass rush outside

589
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 4: of Max Crosby getting quite a bit of pressure on

590
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: him that entire game. So that's something I'll keep an

591
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 4: eye on. You already said it about they need they

592
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: need a deep threat. Quentin's got to beat it. He's

593
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: just got to play better, you know. It's so he's

594
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: so there's that or they have to find somebody else

595
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 4: that that can take the top off a defense and

596
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: can catch the ball when it's thrown to them, and

597
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 4: then defensively, you know what, Chris, I thought they played

598
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: really well, especially considering like we didn't have a whole

599
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: lot of explosives. You know though that we had that nineteen,

600
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 4: we had a third and nineteen. One of the explosives

601
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: was that twenty two yards from from Jacobs on the

602
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 4: dump off, and that was just a busted coverage. Kenneth

603
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 4: was kind of floating on the wrong side of the

604
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: middle of the field and he was covering nobody and

605
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: instead he allowed Jacobs to kind of leak out. That

606
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: should have been a gain of like six and a punt.

607
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: Instead it was a gain of twenty two and and

608
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: obviously Devonte Adams is exceptional, but I thought the secondary

609
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: did really well. You know, you didn't have a lot

610
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: of explosive plays in that game, and that's moving forward

611
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: something they're going to have to continue to be good at.

612
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: You know, I thought this had an opportunity for especially

613
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: without Joey, you know, with Kendrick's just kind of coming

614
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: back and getting more snaps in this one, not knowing

615
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: he was right, you know, with the safeties is the

616
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: last line of defense. I thought this set up to

617
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 4: potentially be a big Josh Jacobs game, who has routinely

618
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: crushed the Chargers in there were no explosive runs. Tully

619
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: as exceptional as an edge defender against the run. We

620
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 4: know Khalil Mack is great. The interior has been solid,

621
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: so I think that's encouraging. If they can carry that

622
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: over to Dallas and then Kansas City, which is obviously

623
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot tougher but I think possible, then

624
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: you know, feel a lot better moving forward.

625
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: Our buddy Dan throughout some defensive rankings through the first

626
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: four weeks, and one of our thoughts, I just go

627
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: over a few of them. Points per game twenty seventh

628
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: in the league, sacks first. I think Kalil Beck had

629
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 3: a big, big say in that. Yards per game through

630
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: the air, thirty second and third down conversion, fifth turnover seventh,

631
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: So kind of a mixed bag defensively. Maybe it's something

632
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: where you know you're starting to see the team come

633
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: together a little bit in that that thirty second ranking

634
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: in passing defense can change here over the next couple

635
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: of weeks, though it will be challenging against the Cowboys.

636
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think it's I don't want to look

637
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: at the season stats. I know that sounds like, oh well,

638
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: why not.

639
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Well, because you know the first game of the year.

640
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 4: Was just a wrecking machine. Yeah, so I think that's

641
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: you know, something to remember. I mean, you look at

642
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: the offensive leaders right now in the league. To it

643
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: leads the league in passing yards. Kirk Cousins is third.

644
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: So that's two of their four games, you know, receiving

645
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: yards justin Jefferson is one, Tyreek Hill is three. So

646
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: you know they're facing teams that have explosive offenses. And

647
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 4: have you know that the Tennessee game was the one

648
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: real red flag for me? You know that that they

649
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: allowed those explosive plays to Chris Moore and Treiling Burks,

650
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: you know, while keeping Derrick Henry in shack. And so

651
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: you know, when I look at when I look at

652
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: the charges, I'm kind of looking at, Okay, are they better?

653
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: And to me, the last two weeks where the defense

654
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: was asked like think about this, Chris, the defense could

655
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: have won the game against Miami and against the Titans.

656
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: Right they were on the field when the Chargers were leading,

657
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: and they gave up a score late in the fourth

658
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: quarter that then had to bring the offense back on

659
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: the field to try to gain it best. So that's

660
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: your first two weeks. Your last two weeks again, the

661
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 4: defense is tasked in a much more desperate situation, by

662
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: the way, the red zone with coming up with a stop,

663
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 4: and they did so, like that's and for whatever you

664
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: want to say, Oh, they got lucky. He's a young quarterback.

665
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: He didn't see the assante was squating and knew exactly

666
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 4: what play was. Okay, well yeah, but the defense did that.

667
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: They executed that well. Kirk Cousins rushed to the line.

668
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: He should have called the time out, but he didn't.

669
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: And Nick Neeman knew what play was coming and he

670
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: let JT know what was coming, and they popped the

671
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 4: ball in the air and they got the interception. So

672
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: like that's a good development. That's progress for the defense.

673
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: So in terms of looking at numbers in totality, I

674
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: would say, moving forward, let's see if these are stepping stones,

675
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: and if they are better against the Cowboys, if they

676
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: are better against the Chiefs, and if not, let's see

677
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: him dominate the Bears and the Jets the two weeks

678
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: after that and allow the offense to get a couple

679
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: of blowout wins in there, Like that's I think that's

680
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 4: more important moving forward than trying to figure out where

681
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: they rank through four games because of how crazy that

682
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: first one was.

683
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: Money, What did you make of the fourth down call

684
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: with Justin undersenter the quarterback sneak that didn't go the

685
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: Chargers one?

686
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: So I loved it, and I loved the play call,

687
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: and I think it was clear that Herb you know,

688
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: I think the question, if you want to question him

689
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: on that, it's like, hey, clearly his hand was not

690
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: in a position to be able to run that play.

691
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: He had kind of pinned that ball way up here

692
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: because he was worried about fumbling it with his hand,

693
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: and then that caused him to get really tall, and

694
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: what do you want to do. You want to get

695
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 4: small and you want to get leverage underneath, and Herbert's

696
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 4: the tallest guy in the pile, and it's like, yeah,

697
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: that doesn't work, you know, unless you're going to reach over.

698
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: And maybe that's what the call was. Like he had

699
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 4: at the goal and like, hey, I'm going to take

700
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: the snap and I'm going to reach over. And when

701
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 4: he took the snap, he's like, I can't do this.

702
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to fumble the ball if I

703
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 4: tried it, And then he just tucked it against his

704
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: chest and it's like it was it was doomed to fail.

705
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 4: But you know, we talked to Brandon Staley after every game,

706
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: and I thought he brought up a great point when

707
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: we asked him about it. He just said, hey, man,

708
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 4: I believe in the team. I believe in the call.

709
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: I just need him to execute it. And I think

710
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 4: that's fair. I think it's We've got one of the

711
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 4: best quarterbacks in the league and I am going to

712
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: put my trust in him to make the play and

713
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 4: for the offense to make play, and if they can't,

714
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: I trust that my defense is going to make a play.

715
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 4: So I'm fine with that answer. And I think I've

716
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 4: said this before. I really thought he got away from

717
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 4: his personality. You always want a coach to be genuine,

718
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: to be authentic, and I think it is in Brandon's

719
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 4: I think it's in coach Staley's personality to be aggressive,

720
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: to go for these fourth downs. He believes in justin Herbert,

721
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: you know, in implicitly, and so I think all the

722
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: media incoming that he took after that Raider game in

723
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 4: Week eighteen in twenty twenty one. I think it affected

724
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: the way he called the game last year, and I

725
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: think this year he realizes, you know what, I'm gonna

726
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 4: do this my way and I don't. And he basically

727
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 4: said that to us. He's like, I'll take it. I

728
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: know it's coming, I don't care. I still believe it's

729
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 4: the right play for our team in that moment, and

730
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep calling it. And I hope he does

731
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: because I think the team feeds off it. I really do.

732
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 4: I think it's part of their identity and they liked

733
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 4: having that identity in twenty twenty one, and I would

734
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: like to see them get back to it, to a

735
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 4: little bit of that swagger, because it does send a

736
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 4: belief to both sides. I believe in the offense, you're

737
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 4: gonna get me my two feet and we're gonna end

738
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 4: this game right here, and you believe in the end.

739
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: If I don't, I believe in my defense, they're gonna

740
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: do something. They're gonna make this work. They need to

741
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: get a touchdown and they're gonna make sure they don't

742
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 4: get in there. So I was fine with it and

743
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 4: I know that's not the popular position, but I've said

744
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 4: it all along.

745
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: The defense answered the bell. Yeah, last two weeks too,

746
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 3: you know, two interceptions. Let's get into more of these questions.

747
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: We got a ton of these money. I'm gonna give

748
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: you victors over the bye week. Do you guys believe

749
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: Kellen and Staley will find a way to get QJ.

750
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 3: Moore involved in the offense. We've talked about this looking

751
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: at the Raiders specifically as a golden opportunity for Quintin

752
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: Johnston to really get going in his pro career. It

753
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: didn't shake out that way, just one catch.

754
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: Three targets. But he's on the field for thirty seven

755
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 4: receiving snaps, so he's out there.

756
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: It's up to him.

757
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: You know, this is on him now, Like that's you know,

758
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: I was talking about it before because he was on

759
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: the field for eight snaps and then he's only on

760
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 4: the field for twelve snaps, and no, he's out there.

761
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 4: He's one of the three receivers, and now it's up

762
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: to him. Get open, and when you get open, catch

763
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: the ball. And when you start doing that, your quarterback's

764
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 4: gonna trust you and he's gonna look at you and

765
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna throw the ball at you. You know, he

766
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 4: had three targets. It was a great catch. Had Herbert

767
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: seen him a little bit earlier on that catch that

768
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: he made ready to dive and come back and get it,

769
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: and it was a great catch. He got his hand

770
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: under the ball. But had Herbert seen him a little early,

771
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 4: that could have gone for a touchdime because he flashed

772
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: open and he was following, and I give him credit.

773
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: Q was mirroring Herbert and Herbert was just locked a

774
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 4: little bit to the right. Had he come back to

775
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: the middle earlier, he could have hit Q in stride

776
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 4: and that might have gone for a touchdown. We talked

777
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 4: about it earlier. The third down drop is inexcusable. You

778
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: can't do that. You're pined deep in your own territory.

779
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: The ball hits you in the chest. First of all,

780
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: you gotta catch that thing. You cannot pin that to

781
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 4: your body, and it popped up in the air and

782
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: could have been an interception. So and then after that,

783
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I don't know, I don't know

784
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 4: what's happening, but he's out there. So to me, it's

785
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 4: not on Staley, it's not on Kellen Moore. It is

786
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: on Q first, and then it's on Herbert second. You know,

787
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: it's on Quintin to earn the trust of Justin, and

788
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: then it's on Justin to have enough trust to throw

789
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 4: on the ball. And when he does, he's got to

790
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 4: catch it. And that's and that's how this thing's going

791
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 4: to grow. But until that happens, and I think it's

792
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 4: important for people. Again, this is a dead horse I'm beating.

793
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: But remember these teams practice. They practice, so they know

794
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 4: exactly what happens in practice and that's what they expect

795
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 4: to happen in the game. So if Q is getting

796
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 4: open and if he's catching balls in practice, then that's

797
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 4: going to carry over to the field on Sunday or

798
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 4: in the case when we come back from them by Monday.

799
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: So that's so to me, it's up to him.

800
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 4: This is no longer a what's wrong with Staley, what's

801
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 4: wrong with Kellen Moore? Why aren't they getting cue the ball? No,

802
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 4: Q's got to get the ball, So he's got to

803
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 4: make it right moving forward. It's on him and and

804
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 4: I had a perfect view of it after he dropped

805
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 4: that third down pass. You know, in the first possession

806
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 4: of the second half, there was a three and out

807
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 4: all the way back at their five yard line. I

808
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 4: was watching him because I wanted to see what his

809
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 4: body language look like. He was upset with himself. All

810
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: the receivers are sitting with coach Batty going over the surface,

811
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: and he kept pounding. His chest was up set, and

812
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: he sat down on a gatorade cooler by himself, and

813
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 4: Gerald Everett came over and put his arm around him,

814
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 4: was trying to encourage him. And so he knows, you know,

815
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 4: he knows that was a bad play. He knows that

816
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 4: was when he left out there, and that when those

817
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: when you're only getting three targets, you got to catch

818
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: all three. You can't short arm in the end zone.

819
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 4: I know the ball was tip, but his arms got

820
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: a little short. You can't let a ball pop off

821
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 4: your chest on third down. And he made a heck

822
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: of a play to get that first down, digging that

823
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 4: ball out. So just make more of those, and more

824
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: targets are gonna come your way, and more catches are

825
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: gonna come your way, and you're gonna pile up some

826
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 4: yards in one of these games. Get a touchdown and

827
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: then we're gonna start rolling you know, But that's to me,

828
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: that's what it is. It's not don't put this on

829
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: the coach, don't put this on Kellen. Put it on

830
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 4: q It's now his time. He's getting the opportunity.

831
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: I appreciate the accountability. Yeah, And when you look at

832
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: what's ahead, hey Man, Dallas Cowboys, Monday night football at

833
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 3: SOFI Stadium. I mean, this is a big opportunity for

834
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: Quentin to you know, and I think you're right. It

835
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 3: starts on the practice field in the trust and it

836
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: takes Listen, sometimes it takes a while for a quarterback

837
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: and a wide receiver to trust each other. Justin we've

838
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: seen him connect with Geiton and t and.

839
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing, Chris, But like, that's the thing, Like Justin.

840
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 4: I know that he had all those targets to Keenan

841
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 4: that day and stuff, and that's understandable. He's one of

842
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 4: the greatest receivers that's ever played the game. But we've

843
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 4: seen that. We've seen Justin throw the ball to Parham,

844
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 4: to giton to Tyron Johnson. These are undrafted free agent guys.

845
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: These are our first round picks. These are not all pros.

846
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: Like Keenan.

847
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: You know, he's Josh Palmer. He's comfortable. He targeted Josh

848
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 4: Palmer like crazy. I mean, he's in tight coveraging. He's

849
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 4: trying to throw the ball in tight windows to Josh

850
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 4: all game against the Raiders.

851
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not Justin doesn't care.

852
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 4: What your resume reads, you know, he doesn't care what

853
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 4: your pedigree is. Get open, I'll throw you the ball

854
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 4: and when I do catch it, and you're gonna get more.

855
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 4: And that's like, think about that fourth down throat it.

856
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: It's Donald Parham. He's taken from the XFL, you know,

857
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 4: and two red zone opportunities, one on a fourth down

858
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 4: and Justin throws him a bullet, a freaking bullet, and

859
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 4: he snatches it out of the air for a touchdown,

860
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

861
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: Like, he doesn't care.

862
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 4: Justin does not care what your number or the name

863
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: on the back of your jersey is. So just go

864
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 4: out there and earn it.

865
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. And if there was any misunderstanding and

866
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 3: training camp ort the beginning of the year, there should

867
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 3: be no misunderstanding now that Joshua Palmer is clearly wide

868
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: receiver two. Now that Mike Williams is out and Justin

869
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: has a lot of trust in Joshua, and Joshua earned

870
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: that trust. He earns it after practice in his work

871
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 3: ethic in practice. But he earned it last year in

872
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 3: a bunch of spots from Keenan and Mike no down,

873
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 3: and he was called on to help win them football games.

874
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: And you saw it. Nothing went right in the second

875
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: half against the Raiders' Money except for that fifty one

876
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: yard catch to seal the game. Yeah, so so Joshua.

877
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 3: I feel good about Joshua in his progression. We got

878
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: to see it with Quinton though, and he's gonna have

879
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 3: a huge opportunity Monday night football. Let's let's stay with

880
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 3: the offense. Bolt Fan twenty four. How significant is Eckler

881
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: coming back to play next week, not only for his

882
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 3: abilities with the ball, but for pass blocking. I think

883
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 3: the offense changes dramatically with Austin one hundred percent.

884
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: Austin ecker money completely.

885
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 4: It's one of the best running backs in the league,

886
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 4: one of the most complete running backs in the league.

887
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, pass pro has been okay, josh He's left a

888
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: few out.

889
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 4: There, a couple of those blitzes against Tennessee and against Miami.

890
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 4: I think he kind of missed his assignment.

891
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: A little bit, but it's been okay.

892
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: It's the difference is that, you know, Austin is such

893
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 4: a threat that people don't know what the heck to

894
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 4: do with him when he's on the field. It's like, okay,

895
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: is he going to get the handoff? If he does,

896
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 4: I know, he never goes down in first contact in

897
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 4: the guys in his career as out over four yards

898
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 4: per carry, So I've got to be worried about that.

899
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: If he leaks out into flat we know he's going

900
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: to make the first man miss every time. So that's

901
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: a headache. Now I got to think about that. And

902
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: God forbid he goes on a wheel route and he's

903
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 4: got a lineback around him because he's gonna torch him

904
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 4: and that thing could go for fifty sixty yards. So

905
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 4: it changes everything. You know, you you now have to

906
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 4: account for that player. Where is he?

907
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: You know?

908
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: And that's as good as Joshua has been, you know,

909
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 4: as good as I believe Isaiah Spiller can be, that's

910
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 4: just not the effect that it has on the defense

911
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: when you have a player that when they're on the field,

912
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 4: where is he?

913
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: Where is he?

914
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 4: And how many resources do we have to commit to him,

915
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 4: it has you know, it compounds the ability for the

916
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 4: offense to be successful.

917
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 3: Money. How about the creativity out of Kellen knowing that

918
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: Austin was down using Darius Davis on that first drive,

919
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 3: that fifty one yard pitch, and you know he accounted

920
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 3: I think for fifty six to the eighty six yards

921
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: on that drive. We talked to Keenan about it after

922
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: the game. He just say, hey, man, it's we got

923
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: to get these young guys going. And I thought that

924
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: that was brilliant and it almost gets the wheels turning

925
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 3: when Austin does come back. Why not have Darius and

926
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: Austin on the field at the same time and you know,

927
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: have some sort of threat to take the ball the distance,

928
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 3: have more speed on the field.

929
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 4: I think it's again, let's let's go back to what

930
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 4: we said about practice. Darius is clearly showing stuff in practice.

931
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: Right.

932
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 4: They trust him, they love what they see, and I

933
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 4: think we're going to see more of that. So to me,

934
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 4: it's it's he's earned it. I think he's an interesting weapon,

935
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 4: right And and DJ made a really good point too.

936
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 4: He made a really good point with with the Raiders

937
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 4: in town yesterday. He's like, hey, don't forget you know,

938
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 4: Justin loved DeAndre Carter. Like DeAndre had a career year

939
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: last year. The guy had seven hundred receiving yards. I

940
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 4: don't remember how many touchdowns he had, might have been five.

941
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 4: I mean he had quite a few touchdowns too, though,

942
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 4: But like Justin went to him on third critical third

943
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 4: downs repeatedly last year. So it's not like Justin needs

944
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 4: this tall drink of water as a target. He's totally

945
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 4: fine with the smaller guys, and DeAndre is one of

946
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 4: the smallest guys in the league. So I think, you know,

947
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: Darius only had six receiving snaps, had two targets, and

948
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 4: guess what, he caught him both. So caught him both

949
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: twenty seven receiver yards after catch. I think we're gonna

950
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 4: see more of that. I think that's probably something where

951
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 4: I could see Justin going into Kellen Moore's office and saying, Hey,

952
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 4: do me a favor, go back and look at some

953
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 4: of the stuff that DeAndre Carter was doing last year,

954
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 4: and let's figure out, you know, if we can do

955
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: that with Darius, because he's just as fast, if not faster,

956
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: and the guy catches everything that that you throw at

957
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 4: him and you know the running replays. I mean it's

958
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 4: guys converted a killer fourth down you know in Tennessee

959
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 4: that led to a score. You know, had that fifty

960
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 4: whatever it was, fifty one yard run, you know this

961
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 4: last week against the Raiders. Like, I love it, man,

962
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 4: I love the creativity and I do think you're going

963
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 4: to see him earn more and more snaps moving forward.

964
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the d id Carter thing is a great point. Money,

965
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: the trust that did Justin and DeAndre they were only

966
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: together for a year. And remember the game in San Francisco.

967
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 3: He had the game of his life as a wide receiver,

968
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: keeping him in it until the ends on Sunday Night football.

969
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick break. We'll get some more of

970
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 3: your questions. A big thank you to our partner, Microsoft Surface,

971
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 3: the official sideline technology provider and laptop of the NFL

972
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: and the Los Angeles Chargers that provides players and coaches

973
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: with the tools to succeed both on and off the field.

974
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 3: Check out the powerful Surface Pro nine, combining the power

975
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 3: of a laptop with the flexibility of a tablet at

976
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: surface dot com. All right, money, So, a lot of

977
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 3: questions involving the name Kyle Pitts. I'm just gonna read

978
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 3: one of them, Cody Ray Thompson. Should the Charger sniff

979
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 3: around Kyle Pitts to see if there is a trade

980
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 3: possibility there. You mentioned Chase Claypool two at the top.

981
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 3: I think fans are wondering what they can do offensively,

982
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 3: specifically on the outside or a weapon as a tight end.

983
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 3: And you know, I thought Gerald was gonna have a

984
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 3: bigger game frankly against against Vegas that didn't turn out.

985
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 3: But is Kyle Pitts a name that interests you?

986
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: Sure? Absolutely.

987
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 4: I don't know what it would cost, and you know

988
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: he's coming up at the end of his Here's the thing,

989
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 4: the Chargers have a lot of veteran contracts right now.

990
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 4: They want more rookie contracts, So I think if they're

991
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 4: trading for a player, it's probably going to be somebody

992
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 4: that like last year, I thought they should have traded

993
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 4: for Hokinson. Like to me, that's you know what, this

994
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 4: is exactly what you want a tight end to be

995
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 4: in the NFL. You know what You're Yes, it's going

996
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 4: to cost you some money, but that problem is solved.

997
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 4: He's great in line blocking. He is a great receiver,

998
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 4: and he's proven it. You know, he's great in the

999
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 4: red zone. So it's going to cost you a second. Kyle,

1000
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, has just not flashed. It just hasn't happened.

1001
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 4: And I think some of that could be quarterback. Some

1002
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 4: of that could be Arthur Smith likes to run the

1003
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 4: heck out of the ball. Are those opportunities there? So look,

1004
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: if you can get him for a steal, sure, I

1005
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 4: got no problem with that. But I just don't know

1006
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 4: if they're ready to give up on a guy that

1007
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 4: they drafted in the top five for, you know, for

1008
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 4: a flyer, you know, for someone Oh yeah, we'll give

1009
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 4: you a fourth you know. I just don't quite know,

1010
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 4: you know. And the nice thing is you have a

1011
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 4: fifth year option, so you pick that up. I'm not

1012
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 4: quite sure where. Let's see if I can find let's

1013
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 4: see where he is in his contract. My apologies, folks,

1014
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 4: but as.

1015
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: You're looking for money, Johnny Smith is outplaying him on

1016
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: the roster, you know. So that's just a little curious.

1017
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: But I do wonder the quarterback situation in Atlanta, how

1018
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 3: much that is affecting Kyle Pitts and how different it

1019
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: may look with Justin Herbert throwing him the football, having

1020
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: a top five guy getting you the ball, as opposed

1021
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 3: to Desmond Ritter, who clearly is in his second year

1022
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: in a run heavy offense.

1023
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 4: So he's cheap. Here's the great thing, right, he's gonna

1024
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 4: cost you. He's on the books for three point six

1025
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 4: million this year and you're talking about you know, two

1026
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 4: thirds of that, and then next year he's on the

1027
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 4: books for five point one you pick up the fifty

1028
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 4: year option. I mean that's nothing for a tight end.

1029
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, there you go. Now that I've looked at it,

1030
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 4: my answer is yes, I would like that. I would

1031
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 4: because I still as someone who follows college football and

1032
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 4: keeps tabs on college football, he's one of the freaks,

1033
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 4: absolute freaks of nature that we've ever seen at the position.

1034
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I would be all for that. And

1035
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 4: again it goes to his team's got to win this year.

1036
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 4: This team has to win this year. Yeah, so go

1037
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 4: get it.

1038
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 3: Staying with that theme, our buddy Brian Rick talking about

1039
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: the cap space that the Chargers have now that J. C.

1040
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 3: Jackson has been raided in the spendable cap, what position

1041
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 3: groups would you target right now? If I said money,

1042
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 3: give me your top three position groups that the Chargers

1043
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: need to address during the season, whether it's trade or

1044
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 3: you know a guy who's out there in free agency,

1045
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: what positions would you target.

1046
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's it's probably you know, it's it's

1047
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 4: probably secondary, I think, is what we're looking at. So

1048
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 4: much of it's going to revolve around what this roster

1049
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: looks like next year. You know, they pushed money. You know,

1050
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 4: they pushed money down the road for Bosa, for Keenan,

1051
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 4: you know, for Mike. So I don't know what that

1052
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 4: looks like at those positions. But it goes back to

1053
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 4: the conversation I was having about about JC. You know,

1054
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 4: there's a reason why guys become free agents. You know,

1055
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: they get too expensive for their current teams and how

1056
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 4: they value them, and they figure, well, we know them

1057
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 4: better than anybody else, and we're just not going to

1058
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 4: pay That's that doesn't you know, that doesn't even up

1059
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 4: for us. And I'm not saying that all free agents

1060
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: are bad.

1061
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: They're not.

1062
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen free agents have huge impacts on teams,

1063
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 4: you know, So I'm not suggesting you don't go out

1064
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 4: and spend zero dollars. But I think what you're talking

1065
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 4: about originally, you know, making trades. Can you trade for

1066
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 4: players and use those draft picks for someone who has

1067
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 4: cost certainty for two and a half more years, like

1068
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts. You get the half of this season, you

1069
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 4: get all of next season, and then a fifty year

1070
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 4: option for the season after that. Like that makes sense

1071
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 4: to me, you know, that's kind of what I'm That's

1072
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 4: sort of like what I'm getting at. Like if I

1073
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 4: go to the Broncos right now, it's it's a little

1074
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 4: bit of a different deal for Justin Simmons because he's

1075
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: already on that free agent VET contract. Right The guy's

1076
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 4: making fourteen million bucks this year, He's making fourteen point

1077
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 4: five million bucks next year, and then he becomes an

1078
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 4: unrestricted free agent. I don't think that's something as much

1079
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 4: as I'd like to see him, and I think he'd

1080
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 4: be a big help for the Chargers. I'm just sorry

1081
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 4: about the lawn lawn care outside. It never fails, like

1082
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 4: anytime I do this pod for whatever reason. But then

1083
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 4: I go and I look at someone like Patrick Sartan

1084
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 4: and you break down his current contract situation, and you

1085
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 4: got three point five million bucks on the books next year,

1086
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 4: and then you get the fifth year options. You get

1087
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 4: a year and a half of cough certainty before you

1088
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 4: got to pay him. Like, that's one that makes more

1089
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 4: sense for this team to get this year and next year,

1090
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 4: you know, and the following year, so you get all

1091
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 4: He's he's in the exact same boat as Kyle Pitts.

1092
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 4: So you get the rest of twenty twenty three at

1093
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 4: two point five million, you get twenty twenty four at

1094
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 4: three point five million, and then you get twenty twenty

1095
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 4: five on.

1096
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: The fifth year option.

1097
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 4: So like, those are the guys that I think makes

1098
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 4: sense to trade valuable picks for for this team that's

1099
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 4: ready to win right now.

1100
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: Well said, we'll keep it going with Chris Chi. Do

1101
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 3: you guys think Geiton in a bone yard back against

1102
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 3: the Cowboys? And how do you think they make room

1103
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: for those two on the roster when they do return.

1104
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 3: You know, getting Tito back is going to be a

1105
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 3: big deal for this defensive line. Uh Jalen Geiton obviously too.

1106
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 3: If he can come back and flash that speed that

1107
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 3: he had pre injury, then we're talking about another weapon

1108
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 3: on the outside.

1109
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when you look at the d line,

1110
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 4: you know they just waved, hinting in order to bring

1111
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 4: in Bassie. So that's that's one spot that you know

1112
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 4: is gone. Nick Williams has played well, I could geez,

1113
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 4: what do you do? So you got obviously Austin and

1114
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 4: bash and and Nick Williams are your kind of three

1115
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 4: rotational guys inside. You bring Tito into the mix, and.

1116
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna combine a question if someone asked about Matt

1117
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 3: Locke in his performance through the first quarter of the season.

1118
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 4: Hey, step, you know, Matt, that's a development piece. You're

1119
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 4: talking about a guy that was drafted in the sixth

1120
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 4: round I think is where Scott was was drafted. So oh,

1121
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's it's probably let me see,

1122
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out where I'll see there you go,

1123
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the wrong thing.

1124
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: So here we go.

1125
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 4: You got Dash Morgan, Fox Hinton who just got waved,

1126
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 4: Nick Williams, Johnson, Mattlocke. Boy, I don't know where they

1127
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 4: make room for him. I don't know if Tanner Muse

1128
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 4: gets waved just to make room there. I guess I

1129
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 4: could kind of see that. Maybe I would probably be

1130
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 4: the one that that.

1131
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: Makes the most.

1132
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously a j Finley is gonna go down

1133
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 4: when when Gilman gets back in j T. So yeah,

1134
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 4: I think probably Tanner Muse might be the guy that

1135
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 4: that makes room. And and then obviously you know you

1136
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 4: had Keelan DAWs up. He was reverted back to the

1137
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 4: practice squad, but you know he'll take he'll take one

1138
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 4: of those spots there.

1139
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh. Your thoughts on the Cowboys and Chiefs being

1140
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 3: scared edgewled on six day rest coming out of the

1141
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 3: bye week. This is from Alexis. So Chargers have the

1142
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 3: Cowboys Monday night football, short week, got to go to Kansasity.

1143
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it stinks. It's you know, it's just

1144
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 4: kind of been whatever every year. It seems like we're

1145
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 4: on the road for Thursday night football in Kansas City,

1146
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 4: seemingly on.

1147
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: A short week.

1148
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 4: You know, I think you look at the Chiefs and

1149
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 4: you know they get they They've got Denver on Thursday

1150
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 4: at football. So not only are the Chargers on a

1151
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 4: short week from Monday to Sunday, but the Chiefs are

1152
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 4: playing the Broncos the previous Thursday night, so they've got

1153
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 4: a mini buy. When the Chargers got a short week,

1154
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 4: it stinks, you know, it stinks. But it is what

1155
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: it is. You can't change the schedule. And I think

1156
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 4: more importantly than being on short rest is hoping that

1157
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 4: the refs don't swallow their stinking flags every time the

1158
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 4: offensive line holds. You know, finally, and you credit NBC

1159
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 4: for doing it. You know, they got Jawan Taylor exposed

1160
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 4: and he can't play like they's it's like they can't

1161
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 4: play him. He's got to figure it out. He has

1162
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 4: got to line up where he's supposed to line up,

1163
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 4: and he cannot jump the snapcount because there's a magnifying

1164
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 4: glass on him now. So I'm glad to see that

1165
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 4: iron down. We've said it here before, but you want

1166
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 4: to know why Joey Bosa was losing his mind in Jacksonville,

1167
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 4: It's because that's what he was doing and it was

1168
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: driving him crazy, and that's why he freaked out on

1169
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 4: the referees over and over again. Because the guy was

1170
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 4: getting to set up three yards back of where Bosa

1171
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 4: is rushing and it's just a huge advantage.

1172
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: So that's one too.

1173
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 4: You look at the Patrick Mahomes run and I know

1174
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 4: the clip has made its way all over social media,

1175
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 4: as it should, and I mean, Johnson is getting held

1176
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 4: the entire time, right in front of a referee, and

1177
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 4: they never throw the flag. And that has always been

1178
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 4: my contention with the Chiefs is their offensive line holds

1179
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 4: on every single play, and they just operate under the

1180
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 4: philosophy of they can't throw the flag on every play,

1181
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 4: they can't throw the flag on every third play, they

1182
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 4: can't throw the flag on every fifth drop back. You

1183
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 4: know what, We're just gonna keep holding and we'll take

1184
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 4: our hits here and there, but we don't care. And

1185
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 4: that's and look, I give him credit.

1186
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: It works.

1187
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 4: It's a philosophy that has clearly worked for them, but

1188
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 4: it's infuriating for opponents because you know, when you're Bosa

1189
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 4: or mac or Tuley and you're getting held and that's

1190
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 4: the only reason why you can't get to Mahomes. And

1191
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 4: that's when he's at his best, when he's freelancing and

1192
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 4: extending the plays, it can get upsetting. And so that's,

1193
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: you know, that's more of an issue to me than

1194
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 4: the six days.

1195
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: Throw the flags. If there's a hold on every play,

1196
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: throw the flag.

1197
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 4: If Shack gets filed every time he's underneath the basket,

1198
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 4: blow the whistle and send him to the free throw

1199
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 4: line until teams stop following him. And that's just something

1200
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 4: I've always subscribed to.

1201
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 3: Guys. We appreciate your questions. We got time for a

1202
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: few more blue goat. At the beginning of the year,

1203
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 3: we thought the bye we came at a bad spot.

1204
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 3: Now that the season is underway, how do you think

1205
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 3: differently of the week five by and how do you

1206
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 3: think guys, how do you guys think the week six

1207
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 3: to seventeen stretch will play out? So now it's good,

1208
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 3: hopefully you get as many guys back as possible money

1209
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: going into Monday night football. But now the bye week's gone,

1210
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: and you hope that this team can stay healthy to

1211
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 3: a point. Everyone's gonna have injuries from weeks one to

1212
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 3: seventeen or eighteen now, I guess, but I hope that

1213
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 3: this team can sustain some semblance of health from the

1214
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 3: Cowboys game all the way a week.

1215
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: So here's what I would say to that.

1216
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 4: And this is and this could actually go back to

1217
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 4: an earlier question, right about you know, now that you're

1218
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 4: four games in, what are your concerns? Like they got

1219
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 4: to start blowing teams out. They should have blown the

1220
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 4: Raiders out, and that way you can pull Rashawn out

1221
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 4: of that game in the fourth quarter, and you can

1222
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 4: put Foster surrelling if his knee's not right. Let's get

1223
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 4: Rashawn out, Let's get Keenan out, Let's get Khalil Mack,

1224
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 4: Let's get Austin and Bash, and let's get those guys

1225
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 4: out of the game because you're up twenty five thirty

1226
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 4: points with eight minutes to go. You got the Bears,

1227
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 4: the Jets, the Lions are a very good team. But

1228
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 4: after that, you're at Green Bay, you get Baltimore at home,

1229
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 4: You're at New England, Denver at home, at Vegas. Look

1230
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 4: at that stretch. In that stretch, you've got the Bears,

1231
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 4: the Jets, the Packers, the Patriots, the Broncos, and the Raiders. Let's,

1232
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 4: if this team is truly a Super Bowl contender, get

1233
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: blowouts in four of those games, and that's your bye.

1234
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 2: Can we see it?

1235
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 3: We have a blowsysne.

1236
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get a blowout and let's rest some guys

1237
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 4: and that way, that's your bye. Right, You didn't have

1238
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 4: to play sixty five snaps. You only had to play forty's.

1239
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 4: That's how you get your buy and it's it's an

1240
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 4: opportunity for you to get guys some rest, you know,

1241
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 4: and not have to to play until zero's in the

1242
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. So that would be the way I would

1243
00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 4: hope to negotiate not having a buy know for the

1244
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 4: remainding for the remaining thirteen games.

1245
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 3: Uh, our buddy of fear. He asked about the offense.

1246
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 3: I think we answer that question the game plan versus Dallas.

1247
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: Somebody asked, you know what, I remember last year the team,

1248
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: the team coming off playing the forty nine ers was

1249
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 3: lost because they got beat up. Right, and the Cowboys

1250
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 3: have the forty nine Ers Sunday Night Football before they

1251
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 3: play the Chargers. I'll be it. They get an extra day.

1252
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: But the game plan against this Dallas Cowboys team, both

1253
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 3: offensively and defensively, money, what do you think?

1254
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 4: Well, it's limited explosives. It's you know, it's look, it's

1255
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 4: a very good offense. It's a really good offense. You

1256
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 4: have to count for Tony Pollard, you have to a

1257
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 4: con for Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallups got speed. So I

1258
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 4: think it's limited the explosives. To me, it's it starts

1259
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 4: with the run game. Though they want to be you know,

1260
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 4: they want to run. They they want Tony Pollard to

1261
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 4: do damage, and so I think that's where I start.

1262
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 4: You know, he's got two rushing touchdowns this year. He's

1263
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 4: averaging four and a half per carry, So I start there.

1264
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 4: I think in terms of Dak, he's taking care of

1265
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 4: the football this year. You know, he's completing seventy one

1266
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 4: percent of his passes as I'm looking at the numbers,

1267
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 4: and then you know, ceedee lamb is he's got some explosives.

1268
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 4: He's got what seven explosives already, so you want to

1269
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 4: control those. I think that's I know, it sounds simple,

1270
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 4: you know. And look there's like against the Raiders, there

1271
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 4: were two people you had to worry about, right, DeVante

1272
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 4: Adams and Max Crosby, and for the most part, they

1273
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 4: committed the resources they needed to. The few times that

1274
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 4: Max Crosby was left one on one one time was

1275
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 4: the Trey Pipkins rush that he just wrecked him, sacked

1276
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 4: justin and that's the one that got pushed into Rashaan

1277
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 4: Slater and bent his knee back, Like that's all you

1278
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 4: have to do. So like to me, that's so here

1279
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 4: you go. I'm talking and not in platitudes, but in

1280
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 4: a little bit more generality. So here's my specific plan.

1281
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 4: Do not let ceed Lamb and do not let Micah

1282
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 4: Parsons beat you. I know that's easier said than done,

1283
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 4: but at the very least commit the resources where you

1284
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 4: have to. Micah Parsons should have zero one on one

1285
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: rushes zero and Ceedee Lamb should have zero one on

1286
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 4: one opportunities. Do to him what you did to Justin

1287
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 4: Jefferson for most of the game. Double the heck out

1288
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 4: of him, double the heck out of Micah, and take

1289
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,919
Speaker 4: your chances everywhere else.

1290
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 3: Freaking Max Crosby, Man, did you see the baldy breakdown.

1291
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Of He's incredible?

1292
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Now? He's incredible.

1293
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 3: Micah Parson's coming to town. I think you need to

1294
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 3: account for him with you guys. Okay, a couple more,

1295
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 3: What do you make of Murray wearing the dot Sunday?

1296
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 3: More about him improving at linebacker, easing Kendricks's plate. Also,

1297
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 3: if you guys have thoughts on Justin finger, Justin's finger

1298
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 3: and chance aggravation as it heals, love the pod go

1299
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 3: charges from Sandusky, Ohio.

1300
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 4: Jack Mills not a doctor. I don't mean to be

1301
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 4: smug or snarky about that, but I just hate doing

1302
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 4: the diagnosis things, so I truly don't know about the finger.

1303
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 4: The only thing I'll say, Jake is that we know

1304
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 4: how tough that guy is and that he will play

1305
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 4: through anything. So whatever it is, he's going to play

1306
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 4: through it and they'll adjust.

1307
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: You know.

1308
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 4: I think you saw that toward the end of the game,

1309
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 4: a lot of shotgun, and to me, that means you're

1310
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 4: probably gonna have to play a lot of pistol, so

1311
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 4: you can at least still have a little bit of

1312
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 4: play action a lot more RPOs. What was the other

1313
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 4: part of his question, the finger and the.

1314
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 3: Uh Ken's progression and wearing the green dot.

1315
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: I think he did a great job with it.

1316
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 4: So why not have the guy that's been in the

1317
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 4: offense for four years, you know, three plus years where

1318
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 4: the green dot. If he's comfortable with all the calls,

1319
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 4: I have no problem with him keeping the green dot moving.

1320
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 3: Forward, Antonio, what are your opinions on why qj's usage

1321
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 3: has been so limited? You answer that, but greetings from

1322
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 3: Saan Pallo, Brazil, So shout out to Antonio listening to

1323
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 3: us from Brazil. That's awesome. You know, a couple of

1324
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 3: claypool questions too, would you take a flyer on Claypool.

1325
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 3: Let's say he gets released, this would be his third team.

1326
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 3: I think little margin for error for Chase Claypool. Wherever

1327
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 3: he goes next. It's a it's kind of a boomer

1328
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 3: bust signing if that were to happen.

1329
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris, I'll equate it to the Rams from two

1330
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 4: years ago when they picked up Odell Beckham and there

1331
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,479
Speaker 4: was a lot of whining and him and Han about

1332
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 4: why would you do that? This is a team that's

1333
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 4: on a track for a super Bowl because they can

1334
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: just cut him. Let's see what he's a talented player.

1335
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 4: Let's see what he can do. If it's not great,

1336
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 4: we'll cut him after a week. If it's great for

1337
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 4: a week, we'll cut him after two weeks. Like that's

1338
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 4: so like to me. That's the thing with Chase, with

1339
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 4: with Claypool. And now the one red flag for me

1340
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 4: is Pittsburgh's done a great job with wide receivers. They draft,

1341
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 4: they develop, and they turn wide receivers into premier players.

1342
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 4: So the fact that they gave up on Claypool was

1343
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 4: a little bit interesting. You know, it tends to be

1344
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 4: a locker room that's super strong, and you really kind

1345
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 4: of got to be a bit of an issue to

1346
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 4: not fit in in that particular locker room. So that

1347
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 4: would be the one red flag. But I think there's

1348
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 4: just there's so little there's so little investment or equity

1349
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 4: that you have to put into it that it'd be

1350
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 4: super easy to just move on if it didn't work out.

1351
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 3: Last question money, This is from a Junius Limb. Should

1352
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 3: there be any major concerns with the lack of production

1353
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 3: from special teams, especially the play of JK or just

1354
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 3: fick and turn this around? He says, not a sexy topic,

1355
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 3: but something other than j C. Jackson.

1356
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 4: Sure, I think this last week was a terrible special

1357
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 4: teams week, right you know, I mean that save Dicker,

1358
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 4: But like you have Darius Davis, who I think fumbled

1359
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 4: if I remember Righty fumbled a punt out of bounds,

1360
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 4: but still you know, ended up booting one out of bounds.

1361
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:50,479
Speaker 4: You had, you know, you had JK whose issues showed

1362
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 4: up again from the first half of Minnesota. I think

1363
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 4: it was a twenty two yard punt and like a

1364
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 4: thirty one yard punt when they really needed him to

1365
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 4: flip the field. I thought his punt out of the

1366
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 4: end zone was really good. He got to pass the

1367
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 4: fifty so when he had no room to operate, so

1368
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 4: that was a good one. But yeah, that's all stuff

1369
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 4: that can be fixed, because you know what, it was

1370
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 4: great last year. It's something we said at the top

1371
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 4: of the show, right, we've seen it be exceptional. We've

1372
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 4: seen all these players play great. We've seen Darius Davis

1373
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 4: return upunt eighty one yards for a touchdown. You know,

1374
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 4: in the preseason. We've seen him return a punt for

1375
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 4: twenty five yards already, So we know those that greatness

1376
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 4: is there. So yeah, I suspect that that they'll get

1377
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 4: it right. I think coach Ficken is exceptional. I think

1378
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 4: his units tend to be some of the best in

1379
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 4: the league. So the buys probably a good opportunity for

1380
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 4: them to kind of dig into to see what's going

1381
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 4: on with JK and and why he's got a little

1382
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 4: bit of the you know, whatever you want to call him

1383
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 4: in golf it's the shanks or the yips or whatever.

1384
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 4: But we know he can do it because he did

1385
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 4: it for an entire season last year. Like I said,

1386
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 4: the guy was incredible last year. So I suspect they'll

1387
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 4: come back against Allison, and they better be by the

1388
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 4: way because our friend Turpin's over there returning punts. So

1389
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 4: let's make sure we get this thing right before Cavante

1390
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 4: shows up at sofa on a Monday night.

1391
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy the problem does the TCU wide receiver?

1392
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: All right, all right, buddy, what are you looking forward

1393
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 3: to on Sunday? Charges aren't playing but some decent games.

1394
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 3: I guess we talked about San Francisco, Dallas, Kansas City

1395
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 3: has Minnesota, right, it's Packers.

1396
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Let's see what am I looking forward to?

1397
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 3: Denver Jets is very intriguing to see you most definitely

1398
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 3: how Denver treats the rest of this season.

1399
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 4: You know what, I'll tell you what's super interesting. It's

1400
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 4: Bengals Cardinals. That's because the Cardinals have played their tails

1401
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 4: off this year and the Bengals have looked terrible, like

1402
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow statistically has been the worst quarterback in the league,

1403
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 4: which is crazy to think, right, So they go one

1404
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 4: and four, and man, that's that's gonna get sideways in

1405
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 4: a hur Obviously, the Sunday Nighters incredible Cowboys forty nine

1406
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 4: ers is going to be you know, must watch for me.

1407
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, let's go Vikings. Let's see if Kirk Cousins

1408
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 4: can can light it up a little bit, and if

1409
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes can struggle like he did against you know,

1410
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 4: against the Jets, if they can get some stuff going there.

1411
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 4: Although that secondary is terrible, I expect him to make

1412
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 4: a you know, to humiliate Byron Murphy Rams Eagles is interesting.

1413
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 4: You know, the return ram Rams are spunky. I did

1414
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 4: not think that they were going to be good this year.

1415
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 4: And you know, Aaron Donald had a monster game last

1416
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 4: week against Indy. They almost you know, gave that one away.

1417
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 4: What was it, twenty three to nothing? So that's a

1418
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 4: good one. I think I'm giving you way too much information.

1419
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 4: You just wanted a simple answer, So there you go.

1420
