Speaker 1: welcome into the Final Drive presented by Microsoft Surface alongside

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: Haley Elwood. I'm Chris Hayry. As the Chargers fall to

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: one and three, losing to the Bucks thirty eight thirty

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: one and Haley, this was a roller coaster, a lot

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: of highs for the Chargers, but ultimately just too many loads,

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: especially in that second half. Yeah, I mean at one

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: point it literally was a shootout. It literally had that

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: back and forth feel. I forget how many lead changes

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: there were it at whatever point to finish this game off.

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: But but yeah, just you know, they just couldn't totally

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: get it done. Third one score loss. I know that

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: the word frustrating was thrown around a lot and coach

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynz pressor and Herbert's pressor and just kind of

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to get past that. And look,

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: one and three on the season is not great obviously

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: to finish the first quarter. But as they said, they'll

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: look back at tape, they'll kind of go through what

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: happened today, and then it's on to New Orleans on

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: Monday Night football for Week five it is, and you know,

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: there were a couple of turning points. I think the

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: biggest coach Lene quality inexcusable. It was that quarterback running

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: back exchange at the end of the first half. Charges

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: up twenty four to seven. You have an opportunity to

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: either just run the clock out, get three maybe, and

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: then you get the ball the second half. Instead, what

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: happens is Kelly fumbles the ball. I think it was

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: just an exchange mishap between Herbert and Kelly. Mike Evans

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: scores the touchdown, and all of a sudden, twenty four

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: to seven becomes twenty four to fourteen and you go

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: three and out to start the second half. Yeah, and

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: then Tampa Bay turned it on from there. I mean,

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: Brady scored hit Oj Howard and the third quarter then

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a two play drive that went sixty three yards after that,

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and you just can't It was kind of the classic

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: case of look, a mistake happened, but when the quarterback

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field is who he is,

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: when it's Tom Brady, you just can't give a guy

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity like that. And at one point during the

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: game when the Chargers were on that really great they

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: were just rolling through the first and second quarter. I

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: an eagle and Charles Davis had said, what's the thing

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: that's happening right now? They're keeping Brady off the field,

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: and that was huge At one point, I know, I

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: think Tampa Bay had ended the first half leading time

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: of possession, even though the Chargers had the lead at

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: that point, but it was one of those things where

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, the offense was rolling and they were doing

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: a good job of you know, obviously Michael David too

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: had that picks six, but that was what happened there.

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: But when you make a mistake, the opposing defense capitalizes

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: on it, and then the guy on the other side

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: is who he is, He's obviously going to take advantage

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: of that. And then it just sort of not spiraled

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: out of control from there. But you know, you could

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: have had something and you could have started hot to

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: the second half, and then that obviously just didn't happen

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and the game didn't start great. You were like, oh,

69
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: Tom Brads all the way down the field, camera Brad

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown. But to see how the defense responded

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: after that in the first half, a couple of back

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: to back three and outs, I believe, then you get

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that picks six Mikey Davis going seventy eight yards. You

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: saw the defense play really inspired down a lot of guys,

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought Justin Herbert played terrific honestly, Yeah,

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: until the end of that game. But you know, we

77
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: can sit up here and talk about stats, we could

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: talk about what they look like. Ultimately, it was a loss,

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: and I know that's frustrating among the coaches in the

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: teammates of the Shaw when you lose games like that,

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: you fold to one in three and frankly Haley, all

82
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: three of these games one score games that they could

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: have won, I know, and that's I think that's a

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: frustrating part. Look, coach coach said it after the game.

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to say someone played outstanding when you lose

86
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: the game. Justin Herbert's performance on this game cannot be understated.

87
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: The guy had a perfect passer rating through three quarters

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: of this game, and obviously the mistake that happened there

89
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Look, I just think you chalk

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: it up to a learning experience. I mean again, this

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: was the kid's third start ever in the NFL, and

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: to do what he did though throughout this game, to

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with, as we all know, one

94
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: of the greatest, possibly the greatest to ever do it,

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: that says a lot about his approach, his rapport. He

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: said something in his pressor that I thought was so interesting.

97
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: He said his mentality at the start of the second

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: half was at the game zero zero, And I just

99
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: kind of love that, even though it wasn't and even

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: though at that point his team had the lead, But

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: to I have that kind of mentality of like, okay,

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: first half is a wash, it's a go we need

103
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: to start fresh now. I just think again, that says

104
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: ability to just take a really really mature position when

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: playing quarterback, even though he's a rookie. Yeah, that's right.

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady, though is a savvy vet. In the

107
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: second half, they made adjustments. Hailey and Brady was fifteen

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to seventeen in that second half, two hundred sixty three yards,

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: three touchdown, zero interceptions. Herbert had a perfect passer rating

110
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: through the first three quarters. Brady had a perfect passer

111
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: rating in the second half of this game. So it

112
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: was a fun duel to see the youngest versus the oldest.

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I think everybody enjoyed that, whether you are a Chargers

114
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: fan or not. But ultimately one in three and I

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: know it's frustrating for coaches, teammates and Chargers fans alike.

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: And you have to find a way to get a

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: win against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. And

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: we could talk about that later. I think this is

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: still pretty fresh. Another turning point, Michael Badgie miss is

120
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: a a forty seven yard field goal. Two plays later,

121
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady scores a touchdown. I think I believe it.

122
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller. Scotty Miller times two to d Yeah, So

123
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: you know that was another key part of this game

124
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: where it's it's tough because you're going up against Brady

125
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: and he doesn't give up it and he's not gonna

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: let up and he's gonna make the proper adjustments. Yeah,

127
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: and I think again it kind of just goes back

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: to he is going to make those adjustments and he

129
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: is going to do whatever he needs to do to

130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: get his team in the best position to win. I

131
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: think I don't know if the Chargers defense got gassed

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: again in that second half, but but the Bucks were

133
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: just rolling. They were rolling and they did, though, however,

134
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: hold them to that field goal, you know, in the

135
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, which okay, you make it a seven point

136
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a one score game at that point, you get the

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: ball back with just a little over two minutes. I

138
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: think it was left in the game. Obviously we know

139
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: what happened with the interception there, but but it was

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't a shootout, a duel to your

141
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: point what you said, and it's just it's just hard.

142
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, there can be if you want

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: to talk about bright spots, you can talk about the

144
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: production that Jalen Guy, Tyron Johnson and Donald Parham had today.

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was Charles Davis or an eagle, one

146
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: of them said, if I told you to start this

147
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: game that that those three guys would have the scores

148
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: for the Chargers today, you probably would have, you know,

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: would have thought I was joking or something like that.

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: But but the production that those three had, I mean,

151
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Coach Lynn said it. They stepped up. They did a

152
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: decent job. And he said a lot of it was

153
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: based on speed. That the decision to play those guys

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: and get the balls to them. They were going to

155
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: be in a lot of one on one matchups, and

156
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: we saw they were fast today and they also huge plays,

157
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: big plays, chunk plays that they were parts of, you know, Hayle.

158
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: We did this three weeks ago after the Bengals game.

159
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Justice Herbert didn't playing that game, Tyran Johnson didn't playing

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: that game. Now didn't play that game. Jalen Guyden was

161
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the only player that play in it. Three weeks later,

162
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: those pass catchers comebined for seven NFL options, four of

163
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: them touchdowns from Herbert. So I just thought that that

164
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: was remarkable and it speaks to that cliche of the

165
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: next man up. But when you don't have Mike Williams justin,

166
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: Herbert found a way with guys who have really showed

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: nothing in the NFL. Just to be frank, they have it.

168
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson was called up from the practice squad on Saturday.

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Donald Palm Jr. He hadn't caught a pass. You know,

170
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: his XFL fame is what he's been riding on. So

171
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: to see what those guys were able to do, I

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: was very impressed by because Keenan Allen is the guy

173
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: that the Bucks are homing in on. And then we

174
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: have to mention the injury to Austin Eckler in that

175
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: first quarter. I think it was his hamstring. We don't

176
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: know the extent, but as coach Lynn said after the game,

177
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: it didn't look good. It didn't look like he was

178
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: able to put a ton of weight on it. And

179
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that's just a crushing blow for this offense. Obviously we'll

180
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: know more later this week, but it showed forty six

181
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: rushing yards just two yards per pop during this game.

182
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: And then Austin goes on the first quarter. Well, and

183
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean we saw I think last week too, we

184
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of talked about Austin got so much more involved

185
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: in the offense last week, just even those little checkdowns,

186
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: those things that kind of felt like more of a

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: signature Austin Eckler kind of game at that point compared

188
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: to what we had seen over the first two weeks

189
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: of the season. You take that out, you know, checkdowns

190
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: at a rookie quarterback is usually kind of comfortable with

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: not really there anymore. I know that there was also

192
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: talked too about that what would have been a fourth

193
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and one in the fourth quarter. Now, granted they were

194
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: backed up really far. I think they were on their

195
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: own thirty six or something like that, and Coach Lynn

196
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: was asked about, you know, would you have gone for it,

197
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: and you said, yeah, I thought about it, But at

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: the same time, we were pretty far back. There were

199
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: nine minutes left in the game at that point, so

200
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of take the chance, but you

201
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: almost wonder if Austin was there, you know, would that

202
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: been a different kind of decision knowing what he's yeah,

203
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: what he's capable of doing in this league, who knows.

204
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's water under the bridge now. But but

205
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: if this is a long term loss for this team

206
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: this season, that cannot be understated because of just what

207
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: he's able to do, both on the ground and also

208
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: in the passing game as well. Yeah, and Coach Lynn says,

209
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: we're not using injuries as an excuse, but I can

210
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: still bear the facts, right. No Darwin James, no Drew Tranquil,

211
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: No Melvin Ingram, no Justin Jones, no Austin Eckler, no

212
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. The offensive line, you don't have Bulaga, Trey Turner,

213
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: Mike Pouncey. You kin have your right side. This is

214
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season, so I know injuries

215
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: are not an excuse, but just think about those names.

216
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,239
Speaker 1: Think about those names and how they could have contributed

217
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: to this game today. It's it's tough because you see

218
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: these guys and we were a training camp. It seems

219
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: like five weeks ago. All these guys are healthy, ready

220
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: to go. We're excited about seeing them on the field

221
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. And it can change on a dime,

222
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: and that's just life in the NFL. But it just

223
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: seems like the charters have been hit harder than most

224
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: in this first quarter. Unfortunately. It's it's also it's just

225
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: I don't know why it feels like it happens this

226
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: team so much more often than other teams. But but

227
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: it is a similar story, you know, of just guys

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: going out big names going out, starters going out and

229
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: not being able to or you know, having that sort

230
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: of next man up mentality. But even in other cases,

231
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, then those guys kind of you know, get

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: hurt or something happens to them. So I mean, yeah,

233
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: you can't make it. You can't use it as an excuse.

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: But you list those names that are those are Pro

235
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: Bowl players, those are starters, Those are huge impact players

236
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: and makers, change makers for this team. So hey, to

237
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: hang thirty one on the bucks. This is a team

238
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: that we know. I think that we've said they averaged

239
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: twenty seven over the last three games. They obviously at

240
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight today. But to do that, and obviously you know,

241
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: six of those came from a defensive score. But but

242
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: to do that and to find a way if you

243
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: want to find a silver lining, that's it to me. Yeah,

244
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: and that's what we try to do. We try to

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: find silver linings. But you know what we gotta do here.

246
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: But you know, and I think it's important to find

247
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: those silver linings because you know, I thought Justin Herbert

248
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: was fantastic. I really do. Other than that that interception

249
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: at the end, I thought he played phenomenal football and

250
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: he did it with guys who no one has heard of.

251
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't do it with household names today,

252
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: and he went toe for toe with the greatest quarterback

253
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: of all time that said, there are no moral victories.

254
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, Chargers fans won't wins, teammates, coaches, everybody wants wins,

255
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: and you know it starts. I guess next Monday night

256
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints. This read you some numbers. Today.

257
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen was targeted twelve times again, eight for sixty two.

258
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: He had that unbelievable catch on the sideline that I

259
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: know everybody it's pretty incredible. Josh Kelly three for twenty six,

260
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: and just a lot of big chunk plays. You know,

261
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: Justin didn't need to throw it up a ton because

262
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: he threw a seventy two yard touchdown, a fifty three

263
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: yard touchdown, and a nineteen yard touchdown to Parham. He

264
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: was just short of being the first quarterback in NFL

265
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: history to go three straight three hundred yard passing games.

266
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of Joe Burrow did today? Did

267
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: he do that today? I think he did that today.

268
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: The only cave out to the one with Burrow is

269
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Burr didn't start the season because he didn't have a

270
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: three hundred yard game against the Chargers. But yeah, so

271
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, you could you could say a lot about

272
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: hey is twenty twenty now a little bit different than

273
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: than not being a passing league back in the day

274
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: versus what it is now. But I was impressed with

275
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: the rookie. Uh Still, it's it's just a frustrating way

276
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: to lose. Yeah, I mean it is hard, Like I

277
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: know what coach said, but but it is tough to

278
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: to not just be proud of the way that Herbert

279
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: has been played. Again, that poise, that sort of just

280
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: they blitz and he's like whatever here you goo Keenan

281
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: Allen like we'll check it down there and again an

282
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: insane throw and insane catch, but but he just has

283
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe it also goes back to sort

284
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: of what Molly McGrath had said. You feel like he

285
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: has a full grasp on this playbook. He is smart,

286
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: we know that academically, but he just feels it just again,

287
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: never feels like it's it's too big for him. That

288
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: when they got the ball back then and at the

289
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: end of the game, you just felt like, Okay, this

290
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: team's gonna go do it. Why not? I mean, I

291
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: think earlier in this game, let me check my notes

292
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: here really quick. I mean I think it was. Didn't

293
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: they have a play a drive that started at their

294
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: own three or something? Yes, it was. It was the

295
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: one that capped that was capped off by the touchdown

296
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: to Donald Parham. It was the longest TD drive. TD

297
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: drive for the team sends twenty seventeen. So this kid,

298
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where he starts with the football, he's

299
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna try to get it down there. And they're clearly

300
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: capable of doing that. Unfortunately, again what happened in the

301
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter was a mistake, but you know, he said,

302
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: it's learning experience and you learn from it and grow,

303
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: and I have full confidence that he'll be able to

304
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: do that. When Brady hit Scottie Miller on those two plays,

305
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: the last being of a touchdown, and then Herbert responded

306
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: right away with that guy in touchdown before the third quarter,

307
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: that was fun. That was like the highlight of the

308
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: day for me because it's like, Okay, we got a

309
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: duel here against guys who are over twenty years apart,

310
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: and it was not too big for Justin Herbert, but no,

311
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, Haley, any closing thoughts as we wrap up

312
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: Week four, Coach Lynn likes to chunk this up into

313
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: quarters one in three to start the first quarter. Yeah,

314
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: I think you know you're one in three, he said,

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, you'll look it up. It's obviously losing a frustrating.

316
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: You have a chance to win these games, So what

317
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: is it? What is it that then can get them

318
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of over that hump to win and hey, next

319
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: week Monday Night Football. The New Orleans Saints they won

320
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: today beat Detroit thirty five twenty nine. I believe that

321
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: was an NFL score agami fun fact there the Sas.

322
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: We're down fourteen nothing at one point in the game

323
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: and then back. So that's a team obviously. I don't

324
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: believe Michael Thomas played today. I don't know if he'll

325
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: be back next week. But that's a team that you know,

326
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: they have no fun, no quit in them either. They're

327
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: going to keep fighting and playing in the Super Down.

328
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: We know twenty twenties a little bit of a different

329
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: season here, but that's still their house. And that's a

330
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: tough challenge to when you go up against another one

331
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks to do this all time former

332
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Charger Drew Brees. But but hey, quarter two starts next week.

333
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens with this team.

334
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Austin Eckler. But it's just

335
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: kind of trying to find that little thing. And we

336
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of years ago too. In

337
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen they were able to do it. Nineteen a

338
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: little bit of a different story again. But but what

339
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: is it to just kind of win those close games,

340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: get over that hump and hopefully turn things around. Not

341
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: an easy start for Herbert when you talk about the quarterbacks.

342
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: He has to go against Patrick Mahomes. You know you

343
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: had Bridgewater, then you got Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

344
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's your welcome to the NFL moment.

345
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: But the rookie's handling it well. We'll see if the

346
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: Chargers can get back on a track next week against

347
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: the stats. Appreciate you guys always sticking around. Winn lose

348
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320
