1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,479
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 2: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks. DJ Buck

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: with you Buck. We got a football game. Man had

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: a football game last night? How cool is that?

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 3: It was really cool.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: I feel bad for you though, because I was in

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: studio last night. I know I didn't walk out and

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: probably get home closer to ten o'clock my time, which

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: meant you are ain't kin't Ohio and having to take

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: a starter.

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: I would say I was probably waking up as you

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 4: were walking in. Yeah, yeah, because that's probably about times upright.

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 4: I think I pulled into the house just a little

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 4: bit before six. It's the it's the flight, but then

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: it's landing in lax and having drive back down to San.

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: Diego that get you. But like this is where our

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: scouting training comes in that you never think about when

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: you have a drive. You never think about the full distance.

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: You find, You find a place in the middle, put

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: in your GPS for that place, stop, get some coffee,

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, and then you get back in your car,

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: put it in a GPS and go home. It's like,

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: you know, they say, like runners when you're out running

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: on the road like you never you never think about, Okay,

25
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 2: I got this much further to get to the next mile.

26
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: You go out, there's a sign, I see that time

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: is gonna get to that sign. And when you get

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: to that sign, then you see the next sign, and

29
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: then you get to that sign. That's that's kind of

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: what you're doing when you're travel in the middle of

31
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: the night.

32
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's a that's a tough one. I don't view.

33
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: But at least you got a chance to see a

34
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: good game from your vantage point. The Chargers look, I

35
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 1: mean they ever slid, man, theyver saw that from the jump.

36
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: And I know it's funny because the Hall of Fame

37
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: game is the extra game that some teams want, because

38
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to give an extended look to

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: the young players, the players that are on the fringes

40
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: before you really have to get into the evaluation. And

41
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: because you we've gone down to a three game preseason

42
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: as opposed to a four game that's very, very valuable.

43
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: So I just have to ask you man thoughts initially

44
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: just on the Chargers the game itself.

45
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, you know again, I'm always saying, you can't you

46
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: preseason as a liar. You can get in trouble when

47
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: you try and make declarations based off the preseason. We've

48
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, that's everyone knows that if you have any

49
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: and since you know that this has been proven over

50
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: the years. But I will say this. I got actually

51
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: a text from my son, who's you know, growing up

52
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: as a Charger fan, and he said, it's interesting, like

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: a Jim Harbaugh coach team Week one of the preseason,

54
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: they protected the football. There weren't a lot of penalties

55
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: on the Chargers, you know, on the Lions on the

56
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: other side of things, a bunch of turnovers, a bunch

57
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: of penalties. It wasn't very clean at all. And it

58
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I think you can take something from that.

59
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: I think you can take that. You know, these guys

60
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: had to get into camp early, and the Chargers, you know,

61
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: look like their team that even with their they've got

62
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: more depth. First of all, that's obvious with the guys

63
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: they rolled out there, especially the defensive line. They've got

64
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: some size and some depth, and rookies played well. Cawndray

65
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Lambert Smith made some big plays at receiver. He's going

66
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: to be a factor for them. Trey Harris is going

67
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: to be a good player. You saw Marion Hampton, so

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: a lot of good young players. But to me, it

69
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: was just that year two of the culture kind of

70
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: setting in of Jim Harbaugh, tough, smart, you know, it

71
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: just kind of looked like a Jim Harbaugh team out there.

72
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: DJ And I know is the preseason and the games

73
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: don't count, but they certainly matter, and they matter in

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: terms of as you're looking at your team, do you

75
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: see your team embracing style of play? Are they in

76
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: line with the things that are being talked about and

77
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: discussed frequently in meetings, on the field and even in

78
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: press conferences. When Jim Harvard talks about we want our

79
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: team to play a certain way. Does the team play

80
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: that way when you have an opportunity to see him?

81
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: And for me, it was like going back in the

82
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: wayback machine. For as long as I've been on the

83
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: West Coast and I've seen Jim Harvard teams, I was like, Yeah,

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: this is the same team I saw a USD at Stanford, San.

85
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: Francisco, Michigan.

86
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: And now with the Chargers, they're gonna run the football,

87
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a great complimentary play action package that

88
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: is very easy for the quarterback quarterback friendly offense. Defensively,

89
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: they're not gonna give up big plays. They canna be

90
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: physical and they're gonna make you drive the length of

91
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the field. And when you look at that, regardless of

92
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: whether it's preseason, regular season, postseason, this is a for

93
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and a blueprint at least to success. And the way

94
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: that they dominated the Detroit Lion, I don't care what

95
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: anyone says about the preseason.

96
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: No one wants their team to get whipped like that.

97
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the way that the Charges do that, to me,

98
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: this is like and look, you're in it, so you

99
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: know if they took it like with more seriousness than others,

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: but to me.

101
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: They put the ball out there.

102
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: And it was very clear from the jump the Chargers

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 1: were intent on flexing their muscles against the Detroit Lions.

104
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Because it still is a bit of a measuring stick.

105
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know, look they're both playing backups. But

106
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: it was interesting from the standpoint. The Chargers had the

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: number one scoring defense last year. The Lions, I believe

108
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: in the number one scoring offense last year. I think

109
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: the Chargers red zone defense was tops in the league

110
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: or top three. The Lions were top three in red

111
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: zone offense, like it was strength versus strength, and even

112
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: when you're not playing with your ones, I mean they

113
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: look like, at least in this game, they look like

114
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: a deeper, you know, more the team outside the starters.

115
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: Now there's a play in that game where I see,

116
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: you know, the right tackle for or the Lions pulling

117
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: outside and a little corner from the Charger able to

118
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: make a miss them Like, okay, now I can envision

119
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: that's pena seul. You know, players, the star players make

120
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: a difference when they're not playing in the in these games,

121
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: and the Lions definitely have the star players, as do

122
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: the Chargers. So I don't think there's any like major

123
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: declarations you can make other than I think that Jim

124
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Harbaugh's you know, imprint on this team and the identity

125
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: of this team is there. And I think from the

126
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: Lions again not making too big a deal, but there's

127
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: a lot of coaching changes. Man, they lost a lot,

128
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: and I'm sure if you're a new you know, defensive coordinator,

129
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator, you probably want to get out there

130
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: and have a little bit better showing than that, even

131
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: though it's not your your main.

132
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: Guys, because what it does DJ creates a sense of panic.

133
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Like no one will say this, but anytime you have

134
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: newness at those leadership positions, those leadership roles, you want

135
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: all the things that we talked about throughout the spring

136
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: and summer. We want to see those x's and o's

137
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: come to life. And whether it's Hindon Hooker, Kyle Allen,

138
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: whoever's directing the offense. This is a team in a

139
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: city that has gotten used to the Iowa works that

140
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: proceeded the arrival of John Morton. Man, for them to

141
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: get stymied and really struggled the way that they struggled

142
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: on offense, it puts more pressure on the play caller

143
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: from when they have that preseason game and they made

144
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: play the starters, they better show up because man, the

145
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: rumblings will start quickly if they don't have the same

146
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of flampos asz that they've had the last few years.

147
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: No, see how they get out and get out the

148
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: gate and get started. I think we'll have a big

149
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: impact on what that conversation is. I want to ask

150
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: you this question because one of my favorite guys on

151
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: the Chargers, and I've known him for a long time,

152
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: going back to when he was a prospect. But Tony

153
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Jefferson is someone who has got a great stories with

154
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: the Ravens and then his careers basically, you know, careers over,

155
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go into scouting. So he scouts for a

156
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: year and then Joe Ortiz's kids with the Charge. He

157
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: decides last year, I'm I'm making another run at it.

158
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: He was kind of helping the Chargers, so he's going

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: to come make a run at it. He goes into

160
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: preseason Buck, I mean, it was like it was not

161
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: a lock he was going to make the team. And

162
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: the last preseason game he had, he had one or

163
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: two interceptions, he like forced to fumble. Like he made

164
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: all these plays as a as a vet, like as

165
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: a guy who was several you know, seven whatever, seven

166
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: eight years into the league, but like literally fought his

167
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: way onto the team. So now they've got, you know, again,

168
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: a really good roster. He's he's coming back again. He's

169
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: gonna have to compete to make the team. He goes

170
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: out last night, he sets it a little trap. It

171
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: was like the Ed Reid pick that Belichick talks about,

172
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: where did you see that? We're there? Like too high?

173
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: He floats to the middle, and then just sprints to

174
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: the pylon and as soon as Kyle Allen saw the

175
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: shift like this, he locked in and the ball was

176
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: gone and Tony went and got it. And I was

177
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: sitting there thinking it reminded me, first of all, two things.

178
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: Number One, we're in the going through the Hall of

179
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: Fame before the game. We got there early. The buses

180
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: get their earliest chargers, getting raid, all the players through there. Tony,

181
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: Tony's not even in there. He's walking into the room. Well,

182
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: we're going walkin through the exhibits and you see like

183
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: all the like the nineteen twenties and stuff like that,

184
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: and you see, you know, like the leather helmets and

185
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: all that stuff and all the young d He's like, hey, hey,

186
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: hey t Jeff, this is your high school uniforms. Is

187
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: what you're this is what you're using high school. But uh,

188
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: kind of the value, that's what I want to ask you,

189
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Like the value of having some of these guys who

190
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: aren't just like you know, they don't just have experience

191
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: in the league, but literally still as a vet, fighting

192
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: like crazy to make the team. And what kind of

193
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: example that sets did you know anybody were you with

194
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: anybody like that and then and what is the value there?

195
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, Like I mean, they were always like vests

196
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: that are kind of like trying to extend their career

197
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: and do it. But I'm gonna say this DJ from

198
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: a like my own personal experience, like being a bubble guy,

199
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: like later like year five, year six, and you're in

200
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: there in the Hall of Fame game. Uh, some of

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: your buddies are not dressed out, but here you are

202
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the vet that has to suit it up. To me,

203
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this speaks volumes to the football character

204
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that Tony Jefferson has because it would be hard for

205
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: some guys to home with themselves enough to treat that

206
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: game like a regular season game when it comes to

207
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: the preparation to focus the intensity and listening to them

208
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: talk to Steve Weisch after the game twelve years into it,

209
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: still talking about yeah, talking about is my job to

210
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: set the example for the young guys and to come

211
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: and play hard and to do all this other stuff

212
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: that you have to do.

213
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 3: And I remember working him out when he was.

214
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Coming out or whatever, undrafted player to make it the

215
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: way that he's making. I think having those kind of

216
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room and whatever capacity, whether it's

217
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: on the active roster, whether it's on the practice squad,

218
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: what Tony Jefferson can be is an extension of the

219
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff, an extension or what I call the the

220
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: culture standard bearer to make sure that the young guys

221
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: understand what's going on, and the fact that he still

222
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: can make a play every now and then that enables

223
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: him to have the ear of the young players. Because

224
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: it's one thing to have the old man that never

225
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: makes a play barking. It's another thing when you see

226
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: a player that can still play and be like, oh okay.

227
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: So when Tony says, hey man, you need to be

228
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: right here when we line up in discoverage, and.

229
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: Then you see him make a play, the instant credibility, I.

230
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Think it makes him great in whatever capacity they keep him,

231
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna keep him somewhere, DJA around,

232
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be around, and I think that just validates everything.

233
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: So then when he speaks, he speaks with a little

234
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: more that the guys can can get.

235
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Look.

236
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I think it's invaluable, and we've talked about how the

237
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: practice squad can be so valuable. They have these vets

238
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: in now Why wouldn't you populate your practice squad with

239
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: like four or five guys that can kind of be

240
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: extension of the coaching staff.

241
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's Uh. He's impressive guy, and it's easy

242
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 2: to root for him. A guy who just fought for

243
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: everything that he's got and doesn' wouldn't handle anything.

244
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

245
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: And I think there's a lot of guys like that

246
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: out there. I got a lot of respect for that

247
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: group of players real quick, Buck, just having a chance

248
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: to talk to you about it. I saw it live

249
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: in person. I thought Trey Lance looked good man. And

250
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: I think, to me, like Jim Harball, one of the

251
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: superpowers of Jim Harbaugh is the he instilled confidence and belief.

252
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: And I think more. You know, we said Trey Lance

253
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: needs to play. He hasn't played a lot. Yes, he

254
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: needs to get experience. He needs to play, and he'll

255
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: get a chance to do that here in the preseason.

256
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: But Buck, I.

257
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Also think he needs to have somebody remind him. I mean,

258
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: you're good, like you're good, you can play.

259
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: I think the best thing that Jim Harbaugh does whenever

260
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: he takes on these reclamation projects is he makes them

261
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: feel like they were They felt when they were at

262
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: their best at whatever level college, early in the pros

263
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. I saw him do the same thing that

264
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: he always does, the pads and boom, and there was

265
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: a one. There was a joy that Trey Lance played

266
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: with that I hadn't seen since North Dakota State days.

267
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: There was a smile, there was an ease of nature

268
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: that I love. Secondly, man, people say a lot about

269
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh and the way they run

270
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: their offense or whatever, but I know this, they made

271
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: it very easy for Trey Lance to have instant success

272
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: right away.

273
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: Bootlegs early, half rolls late.

274
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, how many times in life can we see

275
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: them score a touchdown on this play?

276
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: Like tail back in the flat, tied into the corner. Bang.

277
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: But that that throw that throws much harder than people.

278
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get a credit because Will Drizzley had to

279
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: catch that over somebody and Trey Lance didn't blow the

280
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: layup DJ. I saw what we always talk about, winn

281
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: it's a scout. When someone a quarterback has been drafted early, man,

282
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: they get every opportunity to exhaust that option on whether

283
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: they can play. And the guy that I saw last

284
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: night is well worth taking the time to see if

285
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: you can squeeze a little bit out of Trey Lance

286
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: to maybe get a player that can be a very

287
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: valuable backup for a long time, or someone who can

288
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: jump in in a pinch and do it. And then

289
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: when they told this last night, they said, Trey Lance

290
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: is younger than Michael Pennox and some of.

291
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: The other it's that crazy man.

292
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: But he talked about how quickly sometimes people give up

293
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: on others, and You're like, hey, man, he hasn't even played.

294
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: He's a baby, a baby, he's a baby.

295
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

296
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: No, it's a great job DJ. He looks so comfortable

297
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And I was just like, man,

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: it's just a byproduct of them run heavy system, but

299
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the complimentary game that goes with his quarterback friend.

300
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: I also, I'm telling you that we did see a

301
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: lot of him, but I know it was three colleges.

302
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: I know he never lived up to the expectations. But

303
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Buck, when you go down there on

304
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: the field and watch Dju warm up and throw, I

305
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: saw him as you did in high school. I saw

306
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: him as a sophomore in high school, and I was

307
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: physically imposing a high school quarterback as I've ever seen.

308
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: There's still talent in there. I know three colleges can

309
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: tell you it hasn't worked out the way that we

310
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: thought it would, and we bought into it. You know,

311
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: don't buy into it. I'm sitting here telling you you can't.

312
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: He's going to get opportunities. Man, you can't quit on

313
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: that talent. There's talent in there.

314
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: So here's the advantage that I think Jim Harbor has

315
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: over some guys because he spent so much time in college.

316
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: He's unafraid of developmental process, his patience, particularly when it

317
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: comes to quarterback. He has a longer wick than some

318
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: guys have when it comes to that developmental candle. Hey,

319
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: we'll take a time, we'll process or whatever, and then

320
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: when you start looking. I think Jim Harbor has a type.

321
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I think he likes the big, strong, athletic type. I

322
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: believe that he sees himself in some of those guys

323
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: and he feels like, oh, I got a recipe in

324
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: a blueprint that works, and look at you go back

325
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: in Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick and the guys that

326
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: he has dealt with, he understands how to maximize that position. Yeah,

327
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised to see dj you make his

328
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: way under practice squad, spend a lot of time working

329
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: on the mechanics, building up his confidence to give himself

330
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: a shot to make the roster next year. I just

331
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: think the charges in Harbor have that he has a

332
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: clear vision for what he wants at a position, and

333
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: he's undeterred by whatever happened before you got to us.

334
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah we'll figure that out. Yeah, no, no doubt. I

335
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: think he's got a chance there. Nico Reid undrafted corner

336
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: at Oregon at a pick and it's made plays all

337
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: throughout training camp. I talked about Lambert Smith's done a

338
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: nice job. But some good there's some good stories. There

339
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: are some good young players. And for those asking, hey

340
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: what about the Lions, the Lions didn't play good, I

341
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: would love to sit here and tell you, you know, I know,

342
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: and talking to people down there on the field before

343
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: the game. In the organization, there is a lot of

344
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: excitement about Aiden Hutchinson and they think he's going to

345
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: light the world on fire. So that's, uh, that's some

346
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: positive news there. And I know I talked to Brad

347
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: Holmes for a minute down there. He likes the young receivers.

348
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: Tesla's is one of those guys.

349
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: He had a nice game.

350
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: He had a nice game early like he got, he got,

351
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: he got in the mix, saw make some nice catches

352
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: and those things. But you know, the quarterback play one

353
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: wasn't great. And then they didn't have many opportunities. They

354
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: didn't really throw it a lot, so you didn't really

355
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: get a chance to see what they could do.

356
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: The final thing about the Charges thumbs up on the

357
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: blue bridges, I'm okay.

358
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: Those are sweet, aren't they sweet? Man?

359
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: Blue bridges, white white, Jersey white, Hilme.

360
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: I like that combo, man, I like that.

361
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Not a big fan of the yellow, but right now

362
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: the combo did us all last night.

363
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the yellow and yellow. I was gonna take some

364
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: getting used to. But the the the navies, the throwback

365
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: navies that they busted, that they busted out over the summer.

366
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: Those are sweet. And then that his pants, Man, those

367
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: those powder blue pants are pretty.

368
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: Because that's new. They've never done powder blue pants.

369
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: Those pants are okay.

370
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: I want to make sure because I was like, man,

371
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: that's a nice combination.

372
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very nice. They look the Chargers social media

373
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: and uniforms. They've checked those boxes every year, man, and

374
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: I just got to get the team to finish it

375
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: off here in the postseason. But Buck, let's take a break,

376
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: and there's a couple of contract situations we need to

377
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: get to. We'll do that right for this, all right,

378
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: it's time for Hot or Not, brought to you by

379
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: with Sabby Hot Cloud Storage Hot Buck. The temperatures hot

380
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: in most of the country. And uh, Man, I think

381
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: contract negotiations are lacked thereof a little hot. With Terry

382
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: McLaurin and with Micah Parsons.

383
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so weird, both of these situations. I think

384
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about Micah first because the name is so big.

385
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: The Mica situation is so weird to me. Uh, he

386
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: is playing, is point set to play on the fifth

387
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: year of his other fifth option.

388
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: It'll be like twenty twenty four million dollars.

389
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Obviously, you look at the pass rusher market, it is

390
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: now escalated to as forty million dollars. Michael Parsons has

391
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: fifty two and a half sacks in sixty three games.

392
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: He is a guy who is a big play machine.

393
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: He makes plays all over the field and without questioning,

394
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: he is their best defensive player, maybe their best player

395
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: on the team.

396
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: Don't really understand why this.

397
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Has been such a long drawn out, contentious negotiation, but

398
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: here we are, and I just feel like for the Cowboys,

399
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: like I know that this is the way they do business,

400
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: but it just doesn't make you feel good.

401
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: I would think as a player that you have.

402
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: To haggle, like guys are having to haggle to get

403
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: their money from the Cowboys. And maybe it's a situation

404
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys are like, hey man, we're gonna put

405
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: them on the franchise tax situation.

406
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: But it's just a weird.

407
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: It's just a weird deal to be going through this

408
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: in training camp when you need him to be ready

409
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: to play if they're going to have any any chance

410
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: of competing closing the gap on Leagles.

411
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 2: So I was talking to an agent about this thing,

412
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: and he brought up an interesting point, which is, you

413
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: know these players, they all talk. It's a very close

414
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: knit community, and like there's He was using an example

415
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: of how he like the Eagles players that walk through

416
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: those holes. You know, they they they will die for

417
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: Howie Roseman. They love him, I mean, how he takes

418
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: care of them. They pay him early in most cases,

419
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: but they always take care of them, and hey, you're

420
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: a little bit beat up during the season, I'm gonna

421
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: go ahead and fight through it. I mean, I'm fighting

422
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: from my team, for my brothers, for the organization. Like

423
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 2: there's just a belief and a gratitude that seeps in

424
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: there when when they're taken care of and other people

425
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: will say no, no, it's your job, is negotiator, to get

426
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: him for the cheapest humanly possible so we can maximize

427
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: the roster. I just I know obviously is the agent.

428
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: So they're gonna they're gonna believe the opposite of that.

429
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: But I think I agree with them. I think there

430
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: is something to the fact of like, hey, I'm not

431
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: saying it's for I'm not gonna get held hostage by

432
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: you know, uh, you know, just a run of the

433
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 2: mill average starter. But when you've got your three, we

434
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: need a five elite players on just about every roster.

435
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: Like those guys, I'm okay over paying a little bit.

436
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: First of all, the market's gonna run away anyways. In

437
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: a year from now, it's not even gonna look like

438
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: an overpay. And in the meantime, you've got a happy

439
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: camper on your hands.

440
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to play,

441
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: to be happy and ready to go. We talked about

442
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: this being a team sport relationships and if the relationship

443
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: deteriorates between the player and management and even the coach Steff,

444
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: it just makes it hard that.

445
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 3: He's going to give you everything.

446
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: And as you talked about the Eagles and some of

447
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: the other teams that are really on the forefront, they

448
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: would rather pay them early than late. The buy back

449
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: that they get from the players, the buy in in

450
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: terms of like, hey man, I'll do anything for ant

451
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: team because my team stands ten toes down for me.

452
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: You don't get that from the cowboy.

453
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: Then I know the brand is the brand, and I

454
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: know in business some people feel like they always need

455
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: to make a deal, but this is a relationship business,

456
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: and when we have hurt feelings or whatever, like you

457
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: can throw money at it, but it doesn't change the feeling.

458
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: People remember how you you made them feel, more so

459
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: than how much you pay them. And for Michael Parsons

460
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: to go through this for someone who we know Michael

461
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: to be a guy that wears his emotions.

462
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: On his sleeve, DJ.

463
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this long extended thing has done more

464
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: harmed and good when it comes to their relationship.

465
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it always feels like the cowboys. They end

466
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: up doing it, and usually they end up kind of

467
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: doing the deal that the player likes and wants and

468
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 2: they cross that bridge. But it's like they make it exhausting,

469
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: you know, it's like, come on, man, just get it done.

470
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: I don't.

471
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: I don't get that one. How about what Terry? You know,

472
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: it's funny. I talked to Ap the other day and Uh,

473
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: I was just somehow I was thinking about it. You know,

474
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it because he's a San Francisco

475
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: Giants baseball fan and their teams team stinks, and so

476
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: I was falling to bust his chops on them being

477
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: a seller. As my Podraser search, we had a great

478
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: terry deadline, by the way, as we always do.

479
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: But you don't have a minor league system anymore.

480
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: You don't have them every year every year. You guys,

481
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna do next year. We're gonna

482
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: trade ten more of them next year, go.

483
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: Get more all gone.

484
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: That's all he does is scout and replanning the system.

485
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: He's a machine. He done, and he does it every year.

486
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: I mean, like I go back, Blake's noow, Joe Musgrove,

487
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: you know, Juan Soto, Like he trades for these star

488
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: players every year. You know how many prospects. No, he'll

489
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: go find more. He goes just Rea shuffle him. But anyways,

490
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: I call Ap to bus his chops on that. And

491
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: then I was just curious. I was thinking about Jane Daniels,

492
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: so we talked about it. I didn't even think to

493
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: ask him about Terry McLaurin. I didn't talk about it.

494
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: But on the side, note, if you want some positive news,

495
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: if you're a Washington Commanders fan, is this is kind

496
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: of gotten murky here. He was telling me like, I'm like,

497
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: how does Jane Daniels get better? And he's like, I'm

498
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: telling you, dude, he's like, everything's faster. He's seeing things

499
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: even faster. He said. Leadership wise, it's gone up. Like

500
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: he's taking it up a notch on that front, Like

501
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: he's talking more, he's more vocal, And that's a scary thought. Now,

502
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: hopefully McLaurin thing works itself out. If the offensive line

503
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: is better. He's excited about the corners They've got some

504
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: good young corners on their roster, so they've got a team.

505
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: It's in the stinking championship game last year. So if

506
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: Jade Daniels takes that next step, and we'll see what

507
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: happens with the Terry thing, hopefully that thing gets worked out.

508
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of like we talk about the

509
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 2: fun teams. You know, who are the teams to pay

510
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: attention to and be fun. That's a fun team, man, you.

511
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: Know, DJ I'm writing this thing that will come out

512
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: later today is the three teams that are challenged the

513
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and I have to watch the Commanders right there.

514
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I feel like they not only are a better team

515
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: than they were last year. You think about the upgrades Deebo,

516
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: Samuel lamrytonso coming in. You talked about the draftis and

517
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: what they brought in, but you got Jayden Daniels who's

518
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: entering year two. And I know some people will make

519
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: that sophomore slump, but man, I just think this dude

520
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: is an absolute superstar and I only see him getting better.

521
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: And there's something about the Commanders and the Eagles where

522
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: the Commanders are unafraid of the Eagles and know when

523
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: your division rivals, like you have that sense like we

524
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: know them, they know us. But to me, there's a

525
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: confidence that the commanders have when it comes to dealing

526
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: with the Eagles that's gonna make them a tough out

527
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: for the eg is when they have to square off

528
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: a couple of times this year to settle who is

529
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: going to be the team to beat in the NFCS.

530
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: So helped me out on the McLaurin thing, because again,

531
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: really i've been on the move.

532
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't.

533
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: I don't know as much about that one to talk

534
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: about it.

535
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: I mean I can't. I can't understand it, but I

536
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: do understand the.

537
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: Ru Does he want crazy? Does he want like way

538
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: above market?

539
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Like what is what is the well, well, I don't

540
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: know what what the issue would be, but I know

541
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: he's over thirty, okay, And so when we look at

542
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: the market, the way the market is kind of split.

543
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 3: So DK metcalf top of the market.

544
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: He signed his deal whatever it was, like I think

545
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: he put him at thirty something, but he was twenty

546
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: eight years old.

547
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: Then you look at the over thirty.

548
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: Guys that signed, Devonte Adams and Mike Evans, they basically

549
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: signed two year deals that put them right between twenty

550
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: two and twenty four million.

551
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

552
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: Well, if you're mclauren and your numbers are better than DK,

553
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: and you and DK in the same class, and even

554
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: though on paper he's twenty eight year thirty, you're saying, well,

555
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: why can't I get Why can't I get that deal?

556
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Why do I get to get the old man deal?

557
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: So it's just that part of it. And I am

558
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: not one that always leans towards the player, but I

559
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: think this when it comes to the franchise, when you

560
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: have a guy that is a face of the franchise type,

561
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: someone who exhibits all the qualities that you talk about. Hey,

562
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: young guys, y'all need to look at Terry because he

563
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: does it.

564
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: The right way, on time, work ethic, plays, didn't matter

565
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: what they had at quarterback, he shows up, shows out.

566
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: The numbers speak for themselves. You just tended, like man,

567
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 3: just overpay.

568
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: Overpay to keep your guy just because he's been such

569
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: a good.

570
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: Player for you and he will continue to be a

571
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: good player. So I don't know.

572
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: The challenge to me, just listen to it and factor

573
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: in the age. Look, we're all bolden to our experiences

574
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: that's gonna shape and form our opinions. I saw Keenan Allen,

575
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: you know, got older pretty quick. I saw Mike Williams

576
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: unfortunately had to retire as you know, work out there.

577
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: You know Tyler Lockett who was playing at a very

578
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: high level. Now we'll see where he is in his

579
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: his career. Like there's been a decent number of examples

580
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: of guys. I mean, Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup was at

581
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: the I mean, I know he got a little bit

582
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: of money here in DNA's you know what I mean.

583
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't know that you want to go extend yourself

584
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 2: too far on that age.

585
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: So so the funny thing, so Mike Evans and Davante

586
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: Adams signed two year.

587
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: Deals at over thirty.

588
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out what DK.

589
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: I think DK signed maybe a five year deal, but

590
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: that might have been the way they stretch out the

591
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: money out of the.

592
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: Stretch out the money.

593
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's just a matter of how do you

594
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: want to do it, how do you want to get

595
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: out of there? How do you want to pay him?

596
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: But at some point you have to pay him. But

597
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: I do understand it. You want to be fiscally responsible

598
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: and his Deebo, Samuel Factor, Debo is in the last

599
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: year of his deal. You're gonna have to deal with that.

600
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: Are you going to have too high priced white house?

601
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Like what is the structure of the team. But they

602
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: just needn't make sure that the locker room is okay

603
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: with Terry because if you bring in I mean, he's

604
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: on the team now, but if you bring in an

605
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: outside of for instance, like in Debo, and you pay

606
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: him and you don't pay the other guy, it just

607
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: makes people in the locker room just look a little

608
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: sideways upstairs. So this is a big one for AP.

609
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll get it figured out. But you just

610
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: want to make sure a band that chemistry is.

611
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: So And that's for me. The key part of that

612
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: is maybe not so much the age, is just his

613
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: standing within the locker room, Like he is that guy,

614
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: so you know you'd like to have him happy. Same

615
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: thing we just said. You know, ideally you're okay with

616
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: overpaying a little bit on some of these things because

617
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: of the person and standing within the locker room. That

618
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,639

00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with I. I had a day where

638
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: we didn't have anything, no no work, no responsibilities, there's

639
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 2: nothing going on family wise. So I went to play golf,

640
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: and uh, I've tried to play, like in the summer

641
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: once a week and stuff. But we went in. Of course,

642
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: we go to as twenty seven holes and you kind

643
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: of figure out which two nines you're playing. The guy

644
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: was like, look, we're wide open the day. You guys

645
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 2: want to play all twenty seven, you're good to go.

646
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: First time in my life i've played twenty seven holes

647
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: of golf. Buck, I don't know how these.

648
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: Guys do it.

649
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how these guys do it. I mean

650
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: we were moving because there were no there's nobody on,

651
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: so we were just kind of moving around. But man,

652
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: like my back I was like, oh my gosh.

653
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: You talk about your backup. I'm thinking about your ability

654
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: to focus.

655
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: That's a long day, you know what, you know, what

656
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: turns out, turns out I'm not a good eighteen hole golfer.

657
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: The last nine is where I that's where I shine.

658
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: I think that's when I'm a fatigued and then when

659
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: I just have too tired to have swing thoughts, like

660
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: when you're too when you're too tired, and just like

661
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: screw it, I'm just gonna I'm not gonna. I'm just

662
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna stop thinking I'm a line up over the ball

663
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: and hit it. So the first eighteen of the last

664
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: nine was much better than my first eighteen. So I

665
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: think that's what I gotta do. I gotta go to

666
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: the golf course play nine before the golf round, when

667
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: nobody knows that you're even there, get out there, play nine,

668
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: and then just meet up with your group and go, okay,

669
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: let's go play now. I might I might need a

670
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: chiropractor after that, but uh yeah, I don't have. Gosh,

671
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: it is a I never thought. I never thought of

672
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: golf as like a demanding sport. But now when you

673
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: watch these tournaments and your if you're walking the course

674
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: and you're playing four days in a row like that

675
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: is that's not nothing like.

676
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: That's uh, you gotta be you gotta be on it.

677
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to one. I do believe, like

678
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: and Tiger did a lot to change it. I do

679
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: believe fitness is a big part of it because being

680
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: able to lock in, being able to as you talk

681
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,040
