Speaker 4: I grew up on inside the NFL and I would

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: look forward to NFL films and the voiceovers and the

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,920

18

Speaker 4: You don't, you really don't.

28

Speaker 5: that you talked about buzzing Chris, and it was amazing.

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 5: First of all, you go one and on the division

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: against a very talented teams, former Super Bowl champions and

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 5: the Chiefs. You're across seas in Brazil, and if people

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: don't know, like I played in London twice, like going

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: over across seas, getting your body adjusted, getting your body

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 5: work out there, you know, staying with your nutrition and

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 5: staying focused right and staying to the game plan like

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 5: it takes a it takes a professional to do that right.

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 5: And these guys are displayed. They played lights out offense, defense,

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: special teams and you it was it was very impressive.

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: They woke up the NFL world in Week one.

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: So many things to talk about in that game. Money,

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 3: the lead is justin Herbert I mean just the way

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: he played, how decisive he was with his decisions. He

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: he's always been a Pro Bowl quarterback. He looked different,

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: and I again, I don't know how you can even

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: describe it, just his his kind of his aura in

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: the huddle, aura, the slide at the end to seal it.

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: I mean from from the beginning of the game that he.

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Was dialed in.

52
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think, look, it's he's incredible. I

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: mean we know that. And I think for people that

54
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: were stuck on and it was the last game he played,

55
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: the Houston game, I think it's important to remember you

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: had one player catch passes for one hundred and ninety

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: seven yards and the rest of the wide receivers catch

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: passes for fourteen yards. You had an offensive line in

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: front of him that allowed a fifty three percent pressure

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: rate in this game in Brazil, you had an offensive

61
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: line that allowed one of the lowest of the week

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: twenty six percent pressure rate. And he threw passes to two, four, six, eight.

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: He completed past to eight different receivers and eight one, two,

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: three four of them had over fifty yards. Like That's

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: that's what it looks like like when you have complimentary

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: pieces around an all pro level quarterback this is and

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 4: an offensive line that's going to allow barely zero pressures

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: Makai Beck, then zero pressures Joe Wall Like, this is

69
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: what Justin Herbert's going to look like. So, for whatever reason,

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: people when it goes bad, and I think that's fair

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: for you know, to say, it's not just Justin. It's

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: a lot of quarterbacks. But he took a lot of

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: I thought unnecessary incoming. And I think he reminded people

74
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: that when he's healthy and when it looks right, this

75
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: is what it's going to look like.

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he reminded people that he's him, right, and the

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: kids nowadays talk about it, but that's what Justin is, right,

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: he's him.

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 6: He's the guy, he's a guy, he's the captain of

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 6: the boat.

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: And when you touched on it, right, this team is

82
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: probably the most I've been a part of this organization

83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 5: and been watching this organization for about twelve to fifteen

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 5: years now, this roster around him might be one of

85
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: the most established talented rosters that we've seen in the

86
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: last decade. Right, and you said it, offensive line is

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: blocking the teloff form. He has weapons out there. He

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: has weapons out the wall zoo right, and then you

89
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 5: have this defense was playing stifling, the special teams is

90
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: playing well. So when you put those kind of pieces

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: around him, then you can see the flower in the

92
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: pot start to bloom, right, And that's what we've seen

93
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 5: with Justin. You've seen his confidence. You see the options

94
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: were there. When one option went away, you had Keenan.

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 5: If Keena wasn't there, you had qj Almario Hampton running

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: the ball, cloud or dust pounding away. Offensive line doing

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: their thing right protecting him like it looked beautiful. It

98
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: looked like they were in stride in like week nine,

99
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: week ten. So hopefully these guys continue to do what

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: they did.

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you lose for Shaan Slater too.

102
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: Joe walk goes over. Joeal may have.

103
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: Been the best player on the field, you know, and

104
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: we were saying that with Justin Herbert on the field.

105
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: Joel was that good in that dominant But you know, money,

106
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: we talk about the depth on this team, and you know,

107
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: Obarian looked the part you have nause. I mean that's

108
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: a one to two, that's a quality four two points,

109
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: especially a fourth quarter football games. To see Keenan and

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: Ladd on the field at the same time Keenan had

111
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: that touchdown with Ladd on the same side, and Quentin

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: Johnson the way he performed, and not to mention a

113
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: guy like Tyler Conklin. I mean Conklin had two a

114
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: huge fifty yards and then you know Will Disley.

115
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: With a huge maybe the biggest catch of.

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: The game to extend that drive at the end of

117
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: the game before Justin Ice is it with his legs,

118
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 3: the depth?

119
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: It really all positions.

120
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's critical moments, right, it's shining,

121
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: you know, it's what is it that coach Charbas says,

122
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: you know, giving your best when your best is required.

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: And I think that's what we saw in this game

124
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: third down and you look at Justin on third down.

125
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: I think there were ten third down dropbacks. And of

126
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: those ten plays, I want to say four went for

127
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: first five went for first downs, two went for touchdowns,

128
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: one he used his legs to ice the game on

129
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 4: a third and thirteen. I mean that tells the story.

130
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: You know, you look, you look back and I think

131
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: and also I think it's important we can go through

132
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: the players and look, the players have to play and execute.

133
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: But Greg Roman called a heck of a game. And

134
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: it started with no doubt. I mean it started with

135
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: the inactives, you know, when we thought this was going

136
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: to be bully ball and twenty two and thirteen, and

137
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: then you get your inactives and you're like, wow, all

138
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: six receivers are active, and you don't have Tucker Fisk

139
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: or Ron de Gadsden on here. You're going to be

140
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: playing a lot of eleven and they played a lot

141
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: of twenty one with Scott Mallock. Or you know that

142
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: you mentioned that Tyler Conklin that was that fullback sale

143
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: route that he caught as a fullback, so he got creative.

144
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: But man, you go back and watch the film and

145
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: there are guys that are just wide open. And it's

146
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 4: when you're watching the completion the lad you want to

147
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: look on the other side of the field and there's

148
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: Keenan wide open. There's Tyler Conklin wide open. Like he

149
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: did a heck of a job of recognizing what Spagnola wants.

150
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: Did it was it was an OCDC showdown on both

151
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 4: sides of the ball. And Jesse Minner and Greg Roman

152
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: got out of here with wins because each of them

153
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 4: I thought did a masterful job of not pressure, not

154
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: telling your ends to get too aggressive against Mahomes, just

155
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: keep him in there. And I know he got loose

156
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: with a little bit of runs, but there were outside

157
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: of that fourth throw, there were really none of those

158
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: Mahomes I'm extending to play. It's hard to be sticky,

159
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 4: as you know, Juliel, that long, backbreaking throws. And I

160
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: thought they did a really good job, the coordinators on

161
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: both sides of the ball.

162
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Money, you touched on a great point. And I

163
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: remember playing Mahomes and we would the week leading up

164
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 5: to Mahomes, We're preparing for him, and they say, well, guys,

165
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: he likes to escape in the B gaps. For y'all

166
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: at home, do not know what the A and B

167
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: gaps are. You have your center, you have your guards,

168
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: you have your tackle, you have your A gaps, your

169
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: B gaps, your sea gaps.

170
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 6: Right, Mahomes like to escape through the B gaps. So

171
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 6: they called it.

172
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: Pass rushing integrity, stay in your lane, don't rush up

173
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: the field, kind of cloud the middle, right. And then

174
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 5: when they didn't do that, they had a spy. They

175
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 5: had Dayon spying him. As you've seen, dayone had the

176
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: sack right. So it was just an awesome game plan

177
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: the guys executed at a high level and you've seen

178
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 5: the results from it.

179
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: By the way, Jill Ort is going to join us

180
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: here in a few minutes to talk about the game

181
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: and kind of push you.

182
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: Forward to the Raiders.

183
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: But let's dive in a little bit more defensively, and

184
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: that's one of the things that Derwin said that the

185
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: toughest thing with Mahomes is just's he's a maestro with

186
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: his legs and he find ways to extend plays with

187
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: his legs. And I think just you didn't see the

188
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: pass rush as much in this game, but maybe that

189
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: was more in just hey, we have to slow Mahomes

190
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: and make sure that he doesn't beat us with his legs.

191
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: And that gap integrity you're talking about.

192
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: And I think that was the biggest thing.

193
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 5: I think the gap integrity is what allowed them to

194
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: have sticky coverage, allowed them to keep Mahomes in the

195
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 5: pocket because a lot of times guys rush Mahomes and

196
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: they want to get sacks, and your spin move, you're

197
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: running te stunts, you're running tackle stunts, and then you

198
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 5: know guys are getting out of their lanes.

199
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 6: The rush lanes and then what does Mahomes do.

200
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: He either scrambles through the B gap, he gets a

201
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 5: first down, and he scrambles to the B gap, goes lateral, and.

202
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 6: Then he fires a fifty yard bomb over your head.

203
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: Right, And as a dB, people understand, like, it's hard

204
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: enough to have to cover somebody for the first three

205
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 5: to four seconds of the route.

206
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 6: Right, it's a reactive business. As a dB, they know

207
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 6: what they're doing.

208
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 5: You're playing against the best, fastest, biggest, strongest physical specimens

209
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 5: in the world.

210
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 6: Then you have to react to him. And then once Mahomes.

211
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: Escapes, now it's another extended four to five seconds, and

212
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 5: that's what he makes his money. Right, It's almost like

213
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: how Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger used to do right,

214
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 5: unscripted plays, unscripted passes. And I thought the charges secondary

215
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: plastered really well on the wide receivers, and I thought

216
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 5: that the rush was really controlled and it was a

217
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 5: lot of integrity which allowed him to be successful.

218
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

219
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: The other part of that too is you know when

220
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: you reckon and look, there was a decided shift after

221
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: the first three drives that did not go well, and

222
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: it seemed like Mahomes and DJ made this point in

223
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: the booth. You know, was just hell bent on providing explosives.

224
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: We're going to be explosive this year. And it wasn't

225
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: the right thing to do. It wasn't working, and it

226
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: cost him. You could argue it cost him three Now,

227
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: I missed that one throw to Thornton on the right

228
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: side that could have been a big play, and Hollywood

229
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: Brown dropped the ball on the left side that you know,

230
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: could have maybe if he spins out of that ghost.

231
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: But at point being when they adjusted and it became

232
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: a quick game, what did you see? Three tips from

233
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 4: tier Tart, one tip ball from Deshaun Hann like the play. Yes,

234
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: smart players, man, you got smart players, Like you said,

235
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: don't be going for the hero sack. Think about what's

236
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: going on, recognize what the state of the game is

237
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: and adjust accordingly. And man, those three tipballs by Tierra

238
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: and now, look they weren't the three best plays they

239
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 4: made with his hands, but they're pretty darn good. And

240
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: especially on the two point conversion, you know, I mean

241
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 4: that changed the tone of the game.

242
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: So the two point conversion, the momentum swing back to

243
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: the Chargers.

244
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a little bit of a way.

245
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: You know, you think you're gonna be have a tie

246
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: football game, all of a sudden, Tier knocks that down

247
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: is twenty eighteen. You need that nastiness on the defensive line, though,

248
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just I'm looking at some of the

249
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: stats in terms of the quarterback hits and sacks.

250
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can maybe take us.

251
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: Through a game plan on a guy like Patrick Mahomes

252
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: and maybe why we didn't see as much quarterback hits

253
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 3: in sacks as it's really just kind of making sure

254
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: that he doesn't beat you with his legs.

255
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Right.

256
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's kind of like how you prepare when you're

257
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: playing Lamar Jackson.

258
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 6: Right, I keep talking about it.

259
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 5: You have the guys in lane one and lane nine,

260
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: those are your defensive ends, and they're humming up the field.

261
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: And then when you hum up the field, you're creating

262
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: you're creating extra gaps for these quarterbacks to escape.

263
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Right.

264
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 5: What they're saying is, let's keep Mahomes in the pocket.

265
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 5: Many quarterbacks in this league are not patient enough to

266
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 5: dink it down.

267
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 6: Dink it down.

268
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: The only quarterback that I played that was patient enough

269
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: to do that was Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Right,

270
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 5: they get frustrated, they get agitated, and they want to

271
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: take that shot and then that's when you make them pay.

272
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 6: So the charges did a really good job.

273
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: And then you talk about the batted passes, that's something

274
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 5: that's practiced, right, That's something that's talked about in the

275
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: film room, like, look, we're gonna rush with integrity. If

276
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: we can't get to Mahomes as soon as he lets

277
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 5: the ball go, we I hand the ball and we

278
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: try to knock it down.

279
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: Right.

280
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 5: That's another defensive tactic that you use against a quarterback

281
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: that you want to keep in the pocket. But you're

282
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: not sending extra heat, you're not sending aggressive rushers towards him.

283
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: So listen, I think the game plan by the defense

284
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 5: was absolutely amazing, right, and they.

285
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 6: Have to build off it.

286
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: Right.

287
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: It's a one week season, week to week league.

288
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 6: You're one to zero, but what they did down there

289
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 6: in Brazil it was beautiful.

290
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

291
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: I just think to kind of the last thing is

292
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 4: just you mentioned the gap integrity and how well they

293
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: played the run. You know, it's because I think what

294
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: happens is you look at a box score and you'll

295
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: see that Pacheco ran for five yards per care it

296
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: wasn't working like without Patrick Mahomes scrambling. They effectively shut

297
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: down the run. And you know, as we a little

298
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 4: bit later after we talked to Joe talk about the

299
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: raider game, how important that's going to be, and what

300
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: they're trying to do with Ashton Genty there to give

301
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: Geno Smith that time in the pocket for play action

302
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: to work. How important it is to just shut down

303
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 4: the run. And I thought they did that, and without

304
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: those Mahomes scrambles, there would have been no semblance of

305
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: a run game. And you know, that's what this team

306
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 4: is all about. Let's let's shut that down. It's why

307
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: they signed the bodies they signed in the offseason. That

308
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: that meat along the interior of that line, and I

309
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: thought they were incredibly effective. And even you know, think

310
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 4: about the one the sweep, the Xavier Worthy sweep where

311
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 4: Tarheeb you know, sets that edge and allows Khalil to

312
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: catch up and make that shoe stream tackle for one

313
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: of the fastest players in the league. And that was

314
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 4: the sort of stuff that might, you know, just look

315
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: like a tackle in the box score, but when you

316
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: see the way they're playing it, like, oh yeah, Jesse

317
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: Miner's got these guys humming man.

318
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: It's crazy because we would always, you know, we would

319
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 5: look at stats and the guy might have two interceptions

320
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: or you might have two sacks after the game and

321
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: it's like, but what does the film look like?

322
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Right?

323
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 6: You talked about it, like in the box score.

324
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: It might not look pretty, it might not look jazzy,

325
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: but when the watch the film, you're like, well, okay,

326
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: that's why it happened.

327
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 6: This is what happened.

328
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 5: And when you turn on the film, the all twenty two,

329
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 5: the Chargers were flying around.

330
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can six days later we could go like

331
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: forty minutes on this case. Fin we're moving on to

332
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,959

Speaker 3: Right, as promised, Joe Ortiz joins us on Chargers Weekly.

343
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: And Joe, you've been in the league a long time.

344
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: Just where does this trip in Brazil rank for you

345
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: in terms of just just an indelible moment in your career?

346
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, it's cool.

347
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 7: You know, the neat thing about the International Games is

348
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 7: you get a chance to go places you've never been

349
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 7: and you probably wouldn't go to if you didn't have

350
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 7: the opportunity through the NFL. And you know, it's neat

351
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 7: to go there. And it was fun to see what

352
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 7: Brazil was like. And I know we're there just a

353
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 7: short amount of time, but I need to see the

354
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 7: people of Brazil and the communities that we were going

355
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 7: through to practice, and it was a lot of fun

356
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 7: for everyone.

357
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: Joe, I think the biggest question, you know, for many

358
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: fans and me as well, when Racehans later went down.

359
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: Obviously Joe moved to the left tackle and was like, Okay,

360
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 5: what is it gonna look like on offensive line? But

361
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 5: the offensive line against the Chiefs in Brazil absolutely bald

362
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: right top to bottom. Ye, what can you say about

363
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: those guys being able to transfer from different positions play

364
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: as one when they probably weren't doing it as much

365
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: in training camp before the injury happened.

366
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think you know, obviously, you never

367
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 7: want to see anyone go down right and uh, you know,

368
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 7: broke my heart personally four of her shots and uh,

369
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 7: you know, and where he was excited to.

370
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Get the contract done and really kick off this year.

371
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 7: But credit to all those guys, you know, happened early,

372
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 7: had some time to gel Joe, you know, obviously spending

373
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 7: all the time at left on the left side in

374
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 7: college certainly is familiar to him, and uh, but it's

375
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 7: really a testament to all of them as pros. You know, like, hey,

376
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 7: you're communicating with the designs, communicating with someone different now

377
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 7: and uh, you know, they all stepped up and uh

378
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 7: and played great And it's really the work they put

379
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 7: in and credit all goes to them.

380
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: When you have when you have a quarterback like justin Herbert,

381
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: how much of your job is designed specifically about him,

382
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: as the sun and the planets that orbit around him.

383
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: I just kind of think about how the offense looked

384
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: last year, Yeah, versus what we saw in that week

385
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: one and the pieces that you put into.

386
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 7: Place, right, Yeah, yeah, that's when I got this job.

387
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 7: I was afforded a great opportunity having Justin Herbert as

388
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 7: my quarterback. You know, a lot of a lot of

389
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 7: new gms have to go out and find a quarterback,

390
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 7: and certainly Coach and I when we got here, we

391
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 7: didn't have to do that.

392
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, you just want to.

393
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: Give surround him with as much challenge as you can.

394
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 7: And I think I said it from the jump. You

395
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 7: surround him with as much town as you can on

396
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 7: both sides of the ball, but certainly with offense. Let's

397
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 7: get him some playmakers. Let's get them guys that can

398
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 7: protect for him, ball carriers, everything.

399
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: You know. So that's always the goal, and it will.

400
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 7: Be as long as I'm here, just to constantly put

401
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 7: as much talent around Justin Herbert because he is he

402
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 7: is the guy that this this team revolves around.

403
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: And and you saw it the other day.

404
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: Justin just everybody's been saying it.

405
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: He just for some reason just looks different, you know

406
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: when you see it, and you know, you go back

407
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: to six seven weeks ago, you know, Mike Williams retires,

408
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: you know, three four weeks in the camp, Keenan comes

409
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: in and we're seeing Keenan lad on the field together. Yeah,

410
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: third down and I feel like it just brings this

411
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: dimension Joe to the offense.

412
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: That it was there last year. But just the fact that.

413
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: That Keenan can come in here and pick up right

414
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: where he left off with Justin. You know, what was

415
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: your reaction to seeing what he was able to accomplish

416
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: on on the field least Friday.

417
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we talked about it before we even

418
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 7: actually brought Keenan in, like just yeah, you know, hey,

419
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: if we get Keenan back here, like we're gonna be fired.

420
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 7: There's gonna be third down plays and touchdowns that you know,

421
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 7: just the chemistry that him and Justin have and Keenan

422
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 7: such a pro and that's what you know, when you

423
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 7: bring Keenan back in, it's like he's gonna he's he

424
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 7: knows how to get open, he knows space, he's got

425
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: spatial awareness, he he knows defensive structure. So like he's

426
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 7: just going to be such a resource for us. And

427
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 7: then you got the playmakers and Ladd and qu out

428
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 7: there and just there's a lot of options for.

429
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Justin and uh, and it's gonna be fun to watch

430
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: it go.

431
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

432
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 5: So, Joe, you talked about bringing in talent and we've

433
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 5: been touching on the offensive side.

434
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 6: But when you came in here day one was here, right.

435
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: He is has sended so much as a leader, seeing

436
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 5: him grow from year one to year two, right, and

437
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: he's just continued to grow each and every years I've

438
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: been here part of this organization. What do you see

439
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: from him not only as a leader on the field,

440
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: but off the field that makes him the player that

441
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 5: he's been coming to be.

442
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fun.

443
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 7: He's like we actually interviewed dayon when I was in

444
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 7: Baltimore and just his passion for the game. I remember

445
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 7: talking to him in Indye you know, came out and

446
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 7: we kind of laughed about it when pre draft last

447
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 7: year in twenty twenty four years, like, yeah, I thought

448
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: you guys were going to take me and I was like,

449
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 7: well we might have, you know, but you were gone.

450
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 7: And I'm glad. I'm glad we didn't, you know, And

451
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 7: I'm glad you're here. And just to watch his growth

452
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 7: has been awesome. He loves the game. He's not he's

453
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: so charismatic. His energy is great. A smart football player

454
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 7: and obviously talented, but you just the success he had

455
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 7: early last year, you've just seen it match his intensity

456
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 7: for the game off the field and his passion for

457
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 7: the game off the field. And yeah, he's grown into

458
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 7: a great leader for us. And it's great to have

459
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 7: good young leaders like him.

460
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: I want to go back to the Keenan thing because

461
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 4: you know, just even if you just look at the numbers, right,

462
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: it's slot usage, you know, it's high. It's it's eighty

463
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: percent for Lad, It's eighty percent for Keenan in twenty

464
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: twenty four, Like, what was that conversation like when you're

465
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: because I think a lot of people on the outset

466
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: were like, how is this going to work? Is it

467
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: going to diminish Lad a little bitter? Can these two

468
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: guys play together? And then we see it yeah, and

469
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, yeah, it makes sense. So what was

470
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: what was that conversation like with you and the coaches

471
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: about how this thing could actually kind of look like

472
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 4: it did.

473
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's having faith in the coaching staff and and

474
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 7: and Greg and his staff to say, hey, you know,

475
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 7: can we put them out there at the same time?

476
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 7: And absolutely, you know, you can line guys up in

477
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 7: different spots. The thing about both Ladd and Keenan is

478
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 7: the pros like they and they know how to get

479
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 7: open wherever they are, and so.

480
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: The whole slot.

481
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 7: You know, lad can play outside, Keenan can play OUTSI

482
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 7: we did that the other day, and so it really

483
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 7: wasn't a big concern about having them both on the field.

484
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 7: And you just put your you know, your best playmakers

485
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 7: out there and h and let them go.

486
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: And the slot a bunch too.

487
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 7: The whole we see how where you know, and that

488
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 7: was right, and he created the mismatch and look at

489
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 7: Q's touchdown.

490
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: He was in the slot and created.

491
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 7: The mismatch on the safety and paid paid dividends. So

492
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 7: uh yeah, the more the more visually you can be

493
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 7: as an offense, the harder you yard to defend Joe.

494
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that we forget last

495
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: year was Justin is such a big chunk of training

496
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: camp and then he had that injury early in the year.

497
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: Being able to be healthy year two with Greg Roman,

498
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: it seems like those guys really click this offseason.

499
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could just walk us.

500
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: Through just that that relationship and just how it's really

501
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: paid dividends early in the year so far.

502
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Greg does a great job communicating with

503
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 7: Justin and vice versa, and they're constantly talking one about

504
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 7: the game plan about what Justin likes, uh, you know,

505
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 7: things that we think will work, and and uh and

506
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 7: really Greg does a great you know, I've obviously been

507
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 7: with Greg a long time, and he does a great

508
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 7: job always communicating with the quarterbacks and pushing the quarterbacks

509
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 7: to be their best. And I think he did a

510
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 7: lot of that this offseason with Justin and encouraging them

511
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 7: and and you and Justin is the type of guy

512
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 7: that really can take the bull by his own horns,

513
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 7: you know, and everybody the horns and.

514
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Do it himself. And uh.

515
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 7: But it's it's been great the chemistry and the evolution

516
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 7: of our offense to watch it grow and uh, yeah,

517
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 7: the injury last year it limited Justin.

518
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: It certainly did.

519
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 7: And uh, now you're seeing one hundred percent Justin out there.

520
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: And he's a he's a dual threat. And I've watched.

521
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 7: Him run those gassers and the only reason I know

522
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 7: he's human is because he's sweating.

523
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: You know.

524
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 7: It's just he's not breathing heavy, and he's I mean,

525
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 7: I think about it, like last year, I'm like, he's

526
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 7: not even breathing heavy, Like, how do we This guy

527
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: doesn't even seem real. He's so fast and athletic and

528
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 7: uh him using his legs. It's just another another dimension

529
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 7: that teams has to defend.

530
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 6: Joe one of them.

531
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 5: This is one that I'm excited about being a former player.

532
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 5: Like listen, it's one of the most scrutinized businesses that

533
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 5: you can possibly be in and seeing we talked about

534
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 5: Q and his first few years obviously has a label

535
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 5: of drop, having major drops and gains, gets a concussion

536
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: of bad concussion in the preseason and right unlucky, and

537
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: then he comes out in Brazil on foreign soil and

538
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 5: goes for two tuddies. Right, can you talk about for

539
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 5: the people at home don't know, like when this business

540
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 5: and having that kind of resiliency, how big is that

541
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 5: for a guy?

542
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: Like that's huge? All right?

543
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 7: So like that's really the separator, right, you know what

544
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 7: you played in this league.

545
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 6: You have to be.

546
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 7: Resilient, you have to overcome adversity, bad games. And I've

547
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 7: talked to Q about it, like and I got here,

548
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 7: and I like Q coming out of college, and I

549
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 7: think you was a hell of a pick by the

550
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 7: Chargers before I got here. And the physical, talented, great kid,

551
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 7: passionate about the game, loves the game, works hard, and

552
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 7: certainly has elite athletic traits. And yeah, you know, receivers

553
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 7: drop balls.

554
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: They do.

555
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 7: And I watched some games this weekend where I saw

556
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 7: really good receivers dropping balls. I'm I'm not going to

557
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 7: name them, but you know, we know who they are,

558
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 7: their household names, and it's going to happen. It's how

559
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 7: you respond and how you bounce back. And you know,

560
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 7: Q's had some tough games in the past, and he's

561
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 7: had some. He had a tough game last year and

562
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 7: he responded and and uh and I feel like, hey.

563
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: You just got to wash it and move on.

564
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 7: And Q's doing that and uh, and he's letting his

565
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 7: athletic talent and play making abilities shine.

566
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: Uh.

567
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 4: I think you have a type when it comes to

568
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 4: offensive lineman. You Uh, you draft arguably the biggest left

569
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: tackle in the you know, all he's left tackle now,

570
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 4: but you know, one of the biggest tackles in the league.

571
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: You signed the biggest you know, offensive lineman in the league.

572
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: Bozeman's a giant center. Is that fair to say? Because

573
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: going back and watching through the film, there's a couple

574
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 4: of those blocks that Makai gets next level.

575
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: And he just wrecks.

576
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: Dude, It's pretty fun to watch throws them off exactly.

577
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: Is that?

578
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: Is that fair to say?

579
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 4: Like when you were building an offensive line, is that

580
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: what you're kind of looking for?

581
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

582
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 7: And our Yeah, absolutely, I mean you want to you

583
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 7: want to protect the quarterback.

584
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Big protects the quarterback.

585
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 7: You know, certainly, big athletes are the best you can get,

586
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 7: right and uh but big, tough, physical is what we

587
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 7: wanted to be when we got here, and and that's

588
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 7: what we're gonna continue to strive to be. And uh,

589
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 7: it pays dividends in the run game. It keeps the

590
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 7: pocket from collapsing on Justin. And that's what you're trying

591
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 7: to let Justin sit back there clean and just pick

592
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 7: them apart.

593
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 6: He likes base dam monsters money.

594
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I could know just a piggyback on that,

595
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 4: because that was kind of the big question, you know,

596
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 4: especially coming off the Houston game as the last game

597
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: that people saw, like what how are we gonna kind

598
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: of what is this going to look like the following year?

599
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: Just coming in with Boson and Zion and what you

600
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: saw from the last and why you were comfortable with

601
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: that great.

602
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, those guys are again I go back to players

603
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 7: being pros.

604
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: They're so committed to the craft, they work so hard.

605
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 7: They're both smart, tough, intelligent players, great teammates like Okay, yeah,

606
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 7: maybe they have a bad game here and there.

607
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: Everyone will. Everyone does, and to.

608
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 7: You know, to knock a player because of a bad

609
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 7: game or I know what they're about and they're about winning.

610
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 7: They're about being great teammates, and they're about putting the

611
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 7: time in, the work in, and so I trust them

612
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 7: and uh.

613
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: And then you get a chance to add a guy

614
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: like Mackay and it just it just has a ripple effect.

615
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 7: And so yeah, we've we felt good about going into

616
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: it this year. And then versatility and Zion showed that

617
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 7: some of that in camp working at center, and I've

618
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: seen Bose play left guard in this league. And so

619
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 7: you got some versatile guys in there that work together,

620
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 7: understand the game, and can play off each.

621
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: Other, and that's what you want. Joe.

622
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: This obviously predated you, but just the big talking point

623
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: going into this game where you lose seven straight to

624
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. You had a lead in five of those

625
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: seven games, tied in the sixth. It felt like a

626
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: moment and I realized there are sixteen more games to go.

627
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 3: But with justin ICE's that game and you close the

628
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: way that you closed Tier with that huge bat down

629
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: to the two point conversion. Just little moments like that

630
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: in an effort to close a football game. What do

631
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: those moments do for a team in terms of just

632
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: breeding confidence and momentum.

633
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, certainly you walk out of the

634
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 7: game one moment and now we got to keep it going, right,

635
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 7: It really is on to the next game. The moment

636
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 7: itself was great, you know, And you know, yes, I

637
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 7: may not have been here for part of that seven games,

638
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 7: but I had my own streak against negative streak against

639
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 7: them when I walked in here, so I've certainly been

640
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 7: on the other end of some tough losses against them.

641
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 7: So it felt great for everyone. And uh, there's no

642
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 7: doubt you want to be excited about it. It's a

643
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 7: big win, like coach said, and and we all felt that.

644
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 7: But now it's time to move on and get to

645
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 7: the Raiders and and and try to keep going.

646
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 6: Joey keeps saying it felt great.

647
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 5: And I remember playing and going to London, and it

648
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 5: could be in away game of going to London, going

649
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 5: across seas and there's nothing that feels better than.

650
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: The ride home right home.

651
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 5: Like they're talking, but just tell us how how emotional,

652
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 5: how exciting?

653
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 6: What was that fight was?

654
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 4: What?

655
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: Fifteen fourteen fifteen? It was like eleven hours with your

656
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: best friends? Right, yeah, how'd that feel? It feels great.

657
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, the negative about being in la

658
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 7: We have a good number of long flights home, you know,

659
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 7: so the more you can get that you're enjoying the

660
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 7: flight home, the better. And uh, to start off with

661
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 7: a twelve hour flight after a win, it was fun.

662
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 7: The guys were fired up. Everybody, the whole plane was

663
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 7: fired up. There was a great buzz on it. Excitement

664
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 7: you just even walking through the airport. You know, you

665
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 7: weren't dreading getting on a twelve hour flight. You're looking

666
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 7: for the looking forward to the twelve hour flight to

667
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 7: celebrate and and and and enjoy it.

668
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: You know.

669
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 7: So rides home after a game after a win, it's

670
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 7: a happy ride you know, it makes it a shorter trip,

671
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 7: you know, definitely.

672
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: We saw a couple already this week, but just constantly

673
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: churning the practice squad. Obviously a bit of a hit

674
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 4: there with DP with Denzel Paraman and we see Malga

675
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: get put back on. Kind of walk us through how

676
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 4: I think for fans that are that are watching and listening,

677
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 4: like what your day is like as it pertains to

678
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: the practice squad and how many rosters you're looking at

679
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: and how many players you're looking at, and how much

680
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 4: churn really kind of goes into that because we'll see

681
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: those guys called up and playing games this season.

682
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely so the practice squad we do a lot of work.

683
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 7: Our pro scouts do a lot of work in the preseason.

684
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 7: We evaluate every team, every player who's cut. So we

685
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 7: have a list of Okay, one do we want to

686
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 7: claim them, Two do we want to try to get

687
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 7: him over here at our practice squad if they're available,

688
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 7: and then three if they're not on a practice squad.

689
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 7: Who's out there that we call it the short list,

690
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 7: the ready list, and so who's out there where one

691
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 7: they may be an upgrade to our practice squad if needed,

692
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 7: and then two if we have an injury, you know,

693
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 7: we need to add depth at a position.

694
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Who's out there ready.

695
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 7: Obviously we're familiar with Maga because he was here, knows

696
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 7: our defense, knows our special teams, you know, so he's

697
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 7: an easy ad.

698
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: But you're always looking out there. You know. We did

699
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: it with amr.

700
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 7: We brought him in last week of player that our

701
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 7: pro guys Lou and Denny and Tyler all liked and

702
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 7: so got a chance to add him and been excited

703
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 7: about him.

704
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: But we're always.

705
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: Constantly looking to see you can improve the team through practice, squad,

706
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 7: you can improve the team through the bottom of the

707
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 7: fifty three. But we're always kind of looking to see

708
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 7: if we can do that, and we won't stop because

709
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 7: our goal is to make the team better, not only

710
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 7: through the draft, not only through free agency, but over

711
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 7: the course of the year and trying to be at

712
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 7: our best.

713
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: At the end of the year.

714
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: Joe just pushing it forward to to Monday night and

715
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: really just these first three weeks. It's it's very rare

716
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: to play three straight divisional games to open up a season,

717
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: and everybody has a different schedule. Some some teams will

718
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: play for their final five against divisional opponents. But just

719
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can walk us through the

720
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: just the heighten awareness that you guys have had since

721
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: that schedule came out and just watching that that mini

722
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: movie and hearing your calls, it was so good. But

723
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: just here here coach in July talking about the division,

724
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: just how important to get off to a good start.

725
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could just kind of walk

726
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: us through what this place has been like, knowing.

727
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: That you start right away with the Chiefs, Raiders and Broncos.

728
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I I will say this, And in

729
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 7: the NFL, it really has to be a one game

730
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 7: season each week, and so you know, but you know

731
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 7: what's coming behind it, and you know, so we're certainly

732
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 7: aware that we have three division games out the bat,

733
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 7: and you look at it as a chance. It's a

734
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 7: great opportunity for us to get off to a great

735
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 7: start within the division and take it one hot. We

736
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 7: got a victory versus the Chiefs, now that would make it,

737
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 7: make it stand up, make it matter against the Raiders,

738
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 7: and then we'll move on the next week. But yeah,

739
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 7: you certainly have a chance to see where you stand

740
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 7: right out the gate and uh and give yourself, you know,

741
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 7: a good footing for the rest of the.

742
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Season, Joe.

743
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: Since we're touching on the Raiders and everyone knows Charging

744
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: Nations just Raiders week, you know what time.

745
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: It is, right, So listen, you watch.

746
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: You look at the Raiders, and you see Geno, and

747
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: you see gent and you see Kobe Myers and all

748
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 5: the defensive side. You got Max Crosby who Rex games.

749
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 5: And I know you're watching film like the coaches. What

750
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: do you see from the Raiders that stands.

751
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: Out to you?

752
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 5: And what do you think that the Chargers have to

753
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 5: do as a team this week to be successful?

754
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think we got to play our

755
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 7: brand football, and we got to be disciplined and which

756
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 7: we were last week. And in just any errors, we

757
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 7: may clean up on it, you know. And uh, but

758
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 7: trust what we do certainly and and and play our game,

759
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 7: but we got to be ready. Like Ginoll watch that

760
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 7: game and he made some spectacular throws in that game.

761
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 7: I mean, he was on was on point and uh

762
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 7: and he's a talented player and who's kind of went

763
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 7: through some of that adversity, right and perseverance and uh

764
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 7: and and it's paid off for him and certainly we

765
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 7: know Maxwell and when you watch them, they played a

766
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 7: good physical game, you know, really respect the way they play.

767
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: They got after it on both sides of the ball.

768
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: H physical and aggressive. So it'll be that type of game.

769
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: I think physical aggressive would be your D line. Just

770
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: interested in because you had the money to go make

771
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: a splash if you wanted to, and there were some

772
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: big time D tackles out there, but just kind of

773
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: hearing listening to to coach Minter about you know, throwing

774
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 4: volume at it instead. And and you look at the

775
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: game against the Chiefs to Sewan with a huge sack

776
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: tier with the three batted balls, just kind of why

777
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: or I shouldn't say why, but but the idea behind

778
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: taking that approach, behind going to get Nakuan and to

779
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: Shawn and kind of filling that with volume, because it

780
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: certainly worked in Week one.

781
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, So depth is huge in the NFL, all right,

782
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 7: and especially at the position where you're going to rotate

783
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 7: players in and out and you don't want to drop all,

784
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 7: you know, so if you can add a lot of

785
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 7: good players versus one good player, you know, to me,

786
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 7: it's volume and it's waves, and so they can't take

787
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 7: a playoff when we're bringing somebody and who may not

788
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 7: have quote unquote started the game, and that's that's the philosophy.

789
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: And we want guys to fit our scheme.

790
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 7: Big physical players and that's what they all are, and

791
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 7: they know how to play.

792
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: With technique and they know they just fit what we do.

793
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 7: And uh, you know DeShawn, I've always had a lot

794
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 7: of respect for him as a player, just scouting him

795
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 7: and watching him on opponents over the years. And to

796
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 7: be able to bring him in nay Kuan, a young

797
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 7: talented player who we think is of sending and then

798
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 7: able to retain Tierra was exciting.

799
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: And then you know, they and we had a Tito and.

800
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 7: Knew we already knew going into free agency where Justin

801
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 7: was heading. You know, we we saw what he was

802
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 7: doing in the offseason. We saw the games he was

803
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 7: making in the way. Yeah yeah, sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah,

804
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 7: well we're staying on d line.

805
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we kind of had a good idea where Justin

806
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: Herbert was going to but yeah, no, so a boy be.

807
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 7: Like, we knew what we were having, what we had

808
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 7: coming back, and the chance to add multiple players to

809
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 7: really felt like help solidify.

810
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: The whole group.

811
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: Just as a general manager, you're building for this year,

812
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: you're always building for the future as well. I don't

813
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: know if you could take us just from from last

814
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: year to this year and just the culture that you

815
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: and Coach Harpball set in year one win eleven games,

816
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: but just to see what week one look like this year,

817
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: Like what are the biggest maybe areas of improvement and

818
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: just strides that you guys have made in this program

819
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: from year one to year two.

820
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just I think when we got here, the

821
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 7: goal was to improve depth and just make the whole

822
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 7: fifty three man roster better. And I think we did

823
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 7: that the first year, and we just added to it

824
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 7: this past year and just having versatile players and guys

825
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 7: if somebody goes down, someone can step up, like a

826
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 7: Troy Die who we had last year and we brought

827
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 7: him back, and Denzel goes out early and Troy comes

828
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 7: in and.

829
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: Plays gold football for us, you know.

830
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 7: And you know, so I think from a roster standpoint,

831
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 7: you look at our wide receiver room Honestly, me personally

832
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 7: and again it's where I've been, you know, and but

833
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 7: to me, it's the best receiver room I've I've been

834
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 7: a part of you know, and that's no knock against

835
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 7: but that's what I believe in in terms of the

836
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 7: talent that's out there in the depth of the room.

837
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: So you know, so we just we continued just to.

838
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 7: Try to make the roster as strong as we can,

839
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 7: and I.

840
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: Think that showed the last week.

841
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 7: But really it all comes down to the guys on

842
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 7: the field, you know, the coaches, and they did a

843
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 7: hell of a job in the game and it just

844
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 7: shows that their belief in themselves and uh and and

845
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 7: their commitment to the team. And I think that that

846
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 7: played itself out on on Friday.

847
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: LA's Friday.

848
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Joe's usually being being around the NFL, right,

849
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 5: there's coaches that have specific schemes, right, and there's the

850
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 5: front office that may not understand the scheme. So the

851
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 5: front office are bringing in guys who they think, may

852
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: you know, fit the who are available, but they don't

853
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 5: actually fit what the coaches want to do with the

854
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 5: body type, the physical what what they look for in

855
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: line back or a safety. Can you tell the people

856
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: at home, because the reason why the charges are so

857
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 5: successful is because our front office knows what this coaching

858
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: staff wants, what they're trying to do. What they're trying

859
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: to build. What's what's the scheme? Can you talk about

860
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 5: how much work goes into that? Are you staying in

861
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 5: meetings with them? Are you talking about it every day?

862
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 5: Or what does that look like?

863
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: Talk? We talk about it a lot, you know.

864
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 7: And my familiarity obviously with Greg and Andy Bischoff and

865
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 7: Mike Devlin working with him in Baltimore and Jesse Mentor

866
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 7: on defense, and so.

867
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: You know, I'm familiar with them.

868
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 7: But just because I'm familiar with them, doesn't mean the

869
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 7: rest of this our staff is familiar with them. And

870
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 7: so it's the constant communication and our staff being on

871
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: the same page with them, and that's conversations.

872
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: That's free agency in the draft. But when we.

873
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 7: First all got here, bringing the coaching staff in and

874
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 7: talking to our scouts, our college scouts and our pro scouts,

875
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 7: this is what we want in a D line, and

876
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 7: this is what we wanted on the inside back or

877
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 7: an edge you know, outside backer, say these corners, you know,

878
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 7: so them knowing what we're looking for, locking it in.

879
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: And let's go find those guys. And that's what you do.

880
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 7: You gotta find players that fit what you do. You

881
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 7: can't force a square peg into a round all because

882
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 7: we'll be sitting there, like, you know, the coach like

883
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 7: what are you doing, and we'd be like what you know,

884
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 7: like you know, let's let's get guys. We won here,

885
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 7: and that's that's the goal. Whether it's free agency, whether

886
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 7: it's the draft, and you know what, I gotta be honest,

887
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 7: there's times where people may be like, why aren't they

888
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 7: going after this player? Because he just he's not our

889
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 7: type of the type of player not the person. Might

890
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 7: be a great person, but just doesn't fit what we

891
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 7: want to do offensively or defensively.

892
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: So last one for me, Joe, you look at the

893
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 4: box scoring. It probably doesn't tell the story, I don't think,

894
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 4: just going back and rewatching it, but just your thoughts

895
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 4: on your your first round pick and Omari and it

896
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 4: felt like he was this close to pop in one

897
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: for about forty to fifty and you could just kind

898
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 4: of see it. Just sort of what you took away

899
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 4: from that.

900
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, he just you know, hey, a couple read here,

901
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 7: maybe a step here, you know, maybe you know, a

902
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 7: block here. But the way he rides the ball, he

903
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 7: was so physical. You look at that fourth down conversion.

904
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 7: You know, he earned that, you know, and you watch

905
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 7: the runs he had, like the extra yards he was

906
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 7: getting after contact, hitting the hole with burst and acceleration

907
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 7: and violence. And then he did a great job in

908
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 7: pass protection.

909
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Outstanding job in pass protection.

910
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 7: You're asking a rookie back against the complex defense to

911
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 7: go in and produce as a pass protector for Justin

912
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 7: did a fantastic job.

913
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: So just excited where he's gonna go from there.

914
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: Joe, just to put a button on this conversation, man,

915
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: I wanted to give you up to just bragg on

916
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: your staff a little bit to go six thousand miles

917
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 3: to Brazil and to you know, account nutrition, hydration, sleep,

918
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: everything that goes into a trip like this for your

919
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 3: players to perform at the highest level. Man, it was

920
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: it was pretty cool to see everything that went into it.

921
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 3: Just the people that are not playing in the game

922
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: and the impact that they had.

923
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's so many but just like Marco are in

924
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 7: training and then our whole training staff, Marko and sal

925
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 7: and everyone. They did a great job, Smitty getting all

926
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 7: the equipment down there, you know, and his staff, I

927
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 7: mean phenomenal, John Weidmeyer and Christina de Ruder setting up

Speaker 7: security bill, I mean, just phenomenal, Grant and Kate with

930
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 7: nutrition like everything.

931
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: There's so people have no idea.

932
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 7: Josh phenomenal job setting up all the media, you know,

933
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 7: and his staff job.

934
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: So I had to make sure I got him in there.

935
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: But no, like, there's so much that goes into it.

936
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 7: It's not a one day road trip to to Las Vegas.

937
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 7: There's a ton that goes into it. And uh, man,

938
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 7: it was seamless, and uh it was. It was everyone

939
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 7: did a great job. And if I didn't mention someone,

940
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, but like it, it doesn't go without recognition,

941
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 7: and uh it just allowed us to treat it like

942
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 7: a normal trip and uh, the coaches and the players

943
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,959
Speaker 7: and it was really it was great.

944
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 6: It was.

945
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: It was really a.

946
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 7: Heck of a job on everyone involved and the preparation

947
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 7: that went in the meetings, the advanced trips to Brazil

948
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 7: and they you know, all the stuff that they did

949
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,120

963
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: big another national televised game Monday night Football against the Raiders,

964
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 3: and you know, guys, we saw the Raiders beat the Patriots.

965
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: And again it's week one.

966
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: We don't know how good anybody is at this point,

967
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: but Gino looked really good twenty four to thirty four,

968
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 3: I think three hundred and sixty two yards and it's

969
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: gonna be a challenge slowing him in brock Bowers. And

970
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: of course Ashton Gensy you mentioned right before the breakdough

971
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 3: the numbers weren't there but they're trying to do some

972
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: stuff with the rookie.

973
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 4: You know, I think if you don't watch and I

974
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 4: just said the whole I'll watch the film.

975
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying.

976
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 4: If you don't watch the game back, you would look

977
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 4: at the box score and see Ashton genty average two

978
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: yards per carry. I think six of those were late

979
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 4: in the second half when they were just bleeding the clock,

980
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: and they were like carries for loss. It was like

981
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 4: carry lost a two, loss of four, loss of two.

982
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 4: So it adjusted when you watch it back, Dude, He's

983
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: what you expect him to be. Man, there's juice, there's physicality,

984
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 4: there's yards after contact. They were blocking it up and

985
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 4: he was ripping off some pretty darn good runs early

986
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 4: on in that game. But to me and you you

987
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 4: already said it, I mean three hundred and sixty two

988
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 4: yards ten point six per attempt, gino, I mean it

989
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: was I hate to say it, man, it's Raider week.

990
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 4: But it was a fun watch.

991
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Man.

992
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 4: It was fun to watch what Chip Kelly was doing

993
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 4: and scheming these guys wide open twenty twenty five yards

994
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: down the field for chunk plays all game long. Man,

995
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 4: It's it was impressive to watch.

996
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's he's their first round pick, and they're

997
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 5: gonna they're gonna feed him the ball. They're gonna get

998
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 5: him going. That's without of doubt, right, And I think

999
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: when you watch the Raiders, they were most successful in

1000
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 5: the air, and the Chargers love to play the too

1001
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 5: high safety look. So if you're able with a seven

1002
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 5: man box to stop asking gent and stop that running game,

1003
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 5: then you get to keep the roof over the top

1004
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 5: of the defense, right, you get to play back, keep

1005
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 5: everything in front of you. Like you said, Chip Kelly

1006
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 5: did a great job of, you know, designing plays that

1007
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 5: got guys open. Jacobe Myers is a really good threat

1008
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 5: for them at the receiver position. Obviously, brock Bauers, we

1009
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: know what he can do. He's a generation in the Unicorn. Yeah,

1010
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to say generational because everyone

1011
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 5: throws that word around. Now, he's generational. So listen playing

1012
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 5: the two high shell, having Durn at the big nickel, obviously,

1013
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 5: a lot of teams like to put speed into the

1014
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 5: field motion bring your nickel into the box. Now he

1015
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 5: has to take on three hundred pound guards. But having

1016
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 5: during at the big nickel, I think having two safeties

1017
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 5: behind him with the low heat right and Elijah Molden.

1018
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 5: You keep your cap on the defense, but you're able

1019
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 5: to play the run. And I think they'll have a

1020
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 5: good formula for him.

1021
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: If it's Thursday and a broad got banged up in

1022
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: that game. Let's just assume he plays. How do you

1023
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: defend him? Do you defend him with Derwin Like, what

1024
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: are the maybe one or two ways that that are

1025
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: maybe the best way to try to slow him a

1026
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: little bit?

1027
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 5: Durwin James Like, that's what That's why Durren James has

1028
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 5: paid what he's paid, right. He's a guy that can

1029
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 5: take away your best tight end. He's a guy that

1030
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 5: can cover your number three wide receiver. But there was

1031
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 5: a time and place when we played Rob Gunkowski and

1032
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 5: it was the Tom Brady era, and it was a

1033
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 5: way that coach Bags would would kind of, you know,

1034
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 5: try to take him out of the game. If he's

1035
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 5: lined up at the if he's lined up by the core,

1036
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 5: if he's split two yards from the core, the defensive

1037
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 5: end that was to his side didn't rush right away.

1038
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 5: The defense end that was to his side. If he

1039
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 5: was lined up in the corps or two yards or less,

1040
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 5: to excuse me, two yards or less. They would always

1041
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 5: jam him first before he got out of his route, right,

1042
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 5: So you're putting a big body on him, you're just

1043
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 5: basically maudeling him for one to two seconds, let him

1044
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: get into his release, and then rush. So that's a

1045
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 5: way that I can see the Chargers, you know, using

1046
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 5: their defensive tactics to slow him down.

1047
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think and what you saw, you know they

1048
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 4: put on film with Michael Mayer like it's they're running

1049
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: a lot of those two tight end sets and we

1050
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 4: forget that Mayor was you know, grated out is maybe

1051
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 4: the best tight end in the draft, you know, three

1052
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: years ago. So they've got two top tight ends. They've

1053
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: got look explosives and Thornton and Trey Tucker who had

1054
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 4: those big one, the two big catches. The one thing

1055
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 4: that I think you can maybe point to is, you

1056
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: know they were down Christian Gonzales. I don't think the

1057
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 4: New England front is what the Chargers front is, and

1058
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: so I think it's gonna be a little bit tougher.

1059
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 4: And the one thing you can do with you know,

1060
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 4: he'll stand in there, man, he'll take the shots and

1061
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: you can you know, he threw one pick and you

1062
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 4: can kind of get to him and you can put

1063
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: some hits on them and you can maybe adjust things

1064
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: a little bit. So kind of coming out of the

1065
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 4: Chiefs game and people sort of getting a little worried

1066
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 4: about the pressure numbers and the lack of sacks and

1067
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 4: the hurries and the hits that weren't there, this is

1068
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 4: a game I'd be looking at because that offensive line

1069
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 4: did look pretty leaky. It did not look like it

1070
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 4: was holding up. Gino was just you know, stan and tall,

1071
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 4: and he was willing to take those shots and he

1072
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: had guys open, you know, comfortably where he could throw

1073
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 4: with some anticipation and maybe take a little bit off

1074
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: with some more timing that that I don't think you're

1075
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 4: going to be able to do with Tarheeb and Dante

1076
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 4: Jackson out there. And I think that's probably what we're

1077
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 4: looking for, is like, let's see if we can get

1078
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 4: these numbers to maybe look a little more like we

1079
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 4: thought they were going to.

1080
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys, we flip it and Max Crosby can

1081
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 3: destroy a game.

1082
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: Will Disley, Scott bat Lock.

1083
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 3: I think maybe helping Trey Pippiens a little bit on

1084
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: that side, Well, what do we do to slow that Crosby?

1085
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 5: He's the guy that you you know, it's you come

1086
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 5: in and it's a Wednesday, and you put him on

1087
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 5: the board and you take your little red beam and

1088
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 5: you say, listen, this is what they call a game record, right,

1089
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 5: and we can't allow him to wreck the game.

1090
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: Right.

1091
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 6: So if they, if.

1092
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 5: They have any success against us, it can be because

1093
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 5: Max Crosby's going crazy. So when you say that, you

1094
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 5: put in chips, you slide that, you slide your protection.

1095
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 5: You're doubling him. You always you're running at him. Why

1096
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 5: do you run at him to slow down his pass rush?

1097
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: Right?

1098
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 5: Because if you run him we just talked about it

1099
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 5: with the gap integrity. If you're just dropping back, dropping back,

1100
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 5: dropping back and his ears are pin back, he just rush.

1101
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 6: He's rushing right now.

1102
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 5: If you're running at him now, you're making him check

1103
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 5: his feet, you're making him slow down.

1104
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 6: He knows he can't just take up off the field,

1105
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 6: up up up the field.

1106
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 5: Excuse me, because if he takes up up the field,

1107
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 5: that creates a running lane. So that's the ways you

1108
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 5: slow down the pass rusher. People are like, oh, he's

1109
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 5: a beast against the run, well, yeah, but you have

1110
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 5: to run at him to slow down his feet.

1111
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 6: If not, he's going to be going balls to the

1112
00:45:59,200 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 6: wall all day.

1113
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think sort of one thing you remember

1114
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 4: too is look, Pete is Pete, and no matter what

1115
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: the league is done, he's gonna run a single high

1116
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 4: And so I think you're gonna have opportunities out there,

1117
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 4: you know. And Justin Herbert is someone who you know,

1118
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 4: can see it, can pull that trigger quickly, and so

1119
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be opportunities out there for him.

1120
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 4: I think you saw it with the blitz last week

1121
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 4: against Bags, you know, when they're they're trying to bring

1122
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 4: some some more pressure up front, he was able to

1123
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 4: kind of dissect that pretty easily. So the one thing

1124
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 4: to remember though is look, the Chiefs are a really

1125
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: good defense. They're coordinated very well. They have great players

1126
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 4: at all levels, you know, led by Chris Jones. Carl

1127
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 4: Loftis is you know, one of the more underrated edges.

1128
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: But I think when you look along that front and

1129
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 4: you're talking about you know, Chris Jones, Carl Loftis and

1130
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 4: Mike Dana and now here, and we saw it with

1131
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 4: Tyre Wilson he had a sack. Malcol Koont's a little underrated.

1132
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 4: So I think you start kind of looking at this

1133
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 4: raider front. And I do think, especially because Max Crosby's

1134
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 4: in the conversation and you just might be the best

1135
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: pass rusher, the best edge in the league, it's probably

1136
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 4: gonna a little bit more of a challenge. And I

1137
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 4: think it's why it was, you know, you put it perfectly,

1138
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 4: Chris and asking about that right side because Joe Alt

1139
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 4: pitched a shutout, and I think when you were talking

1140
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 4: about pressures, it's kind of coming from that right set.

1141
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: A little bit.

1142
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 4: Good thing about that is, you know, that's where Justin's

1143
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 4: eyes are, so he can see as long as Alt's

1144
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 4: over there. And I think like we saw, you know,

1145
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 4: two years whatever it was four years ago with Rashawn

1146
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 4: and Chase Young, you know, when he went head to

1147
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,720
Speaker 4: head with with with Chase Young, and then Max Crosby

1148
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 4: was pretty quick when they were like going to the

1149
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 4: other side. And I think that's what you're going to see,

1150
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 4: is I would suspect that that's going to be the

1151
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 4: same thing that we that we see and that's a

1152
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: lot easier for Justin to contend with. Then it coming

1153
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 4: from his blind side and him not feeling it.

1154
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got the guys to help him out.

1155
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, with guys like Matt Locke and Disley. As we

1156
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: wrap it, listen, one of the fun storylines is always

1157
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: going to be Jim Harball and Pete Carroll. I think

1158
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 3: there are six and six all time against each other,

1159
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: both in the college and the pros if I'm not mistaken.

1160
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 4: H Going back from thinking Stanford, I think Jim was

1161
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 4: three and one at Stanford against Pete, and I believe

1162
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: he was four and five against him in the NFL

1163
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: because he lost the NFC Championship game that year that

1164
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 4: Crabtree Sherman play. So eight and eight and six favorite

1165
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 4: Jim or seven and six Oka.

1166
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: Seven to six, Okay, I saw it. I saw six

1167
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: and six.

1168
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 4: So it's because the NFC Championship game probably gainst the playoff.

1169
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 3: So anyway, it's it's neck and neck. Yeah, And these

1170
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 3: guys have have been dogged competitors for decades and to

1171
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: do it on this stage in the AFC West Monday

1172
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: Night Football, Uh, I know it's gotta be cool for you,

1173
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 3: Moddy because you've called some of those games before and

1174
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: you've been around that rivalry.

1175
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 4: Called the What's Your Deal Game? Yeah, called what's called

1176
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 4: the What's Your Deal Game? The fifty five and there's

1177
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 4: fifty five to twenty one, twenty three something like that. Yeah, basically,

1178
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 4: I think it ended Pete's career. I think that was

1179
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 4: the game where he was like, I'm out of here.

1180
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 4: You know it's uh it was Toby Gerhart just oh yes,

1181
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 4: I mean he put it on him man, to the

1182
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 4: point where I remember talking to to I think we

1183
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 4: talked to I think we talked to Toby afterward and

1184
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 4: he had said, yeah, they were he gues. I'm not

1185
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 4: gonna name names, but there was someone that said, come on, man,

1186
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 4: aren't we done with this guy? And we still had

1187
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 4: about a quarter to go, and they were like, we're

1188
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 4: still doing this.

1189
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 5: And it's the battle of the personalities. Like Jim Harball

1190
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,959
Speaker 5: great personality, Pete Carroll, great personality. Both of the both

1191
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 5: of these coaches respectful respectfully are talked about as player

1192
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 5: coach is right. They're very energetic, you know, they bring

1193
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 5: they bring good vibes. So man, it's gonna be a

1194
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 5: fun one Monday night.

1195
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: But but knowing both of these guys, what do you

1196
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: think that locker room is going to be like on

1197
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: both sides, and this game it's gonna I mean, it's

1198
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 3: gonna be chippy.

1199
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 6: It's it's the Raiders. I don't care if I was

1200
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 6: the head coach, You'll go out there and it's the Raiders.

1201
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 6: Let's get to it.

1202
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be uh, it's it's definitely it's gonna

1203
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 4: be fun. I think I think the Raiders are a

1204
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 4: lot better than maybe a lot of people think and

1205
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 4: should make for a great game, you know, just quickly

1206
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 4: to wrap it for me, Chris, I think what I'm

1207
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 4: really looking forward to is I want to see I

1208
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 4: want to see a mari And hit his head on

1209
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: the goal post.

1210
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: Man.

1211
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: I want to. I think he's I think he's got that.

1212
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 4: I think we saw it and you look at the

1213
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 4: seven of the Raiders and it's it's not quite at

1214
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 4: the level of where the Chiefs are, especially at their

1215
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: linebacking level, and I think we saw enough where it's like,

1216
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 4: oh man, that was close. That was this close, And

1217
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 4: I feel like you've got a shot to get one

1218
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 4: of those to pop this week for for a Marian.

1219
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1220
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 3: And the fact that the that Greg Robin and company

1221
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 3: and they almost used the pass to set up the

1222
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 3: run in some ways on Friday, So you know a

1223
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: Marion came.

1224
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: Very close a couple of times.

1225
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: Maybe this is the this is the game where he

1226
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 3: breaks off a fifty sixty yard rugs a little.

1227
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would love to see it.

1228
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 5: We talked about it earlier in the podcast, and just

1229
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 5: two yards in the cod of dust and the way

1230
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 5: he runs behind his paths and way his legs are

1231
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 5: always churning and he's not going down on first contact.

1232
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 6: So this and he's gonna be fine.

1233
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 5: Obviously, Showing Artist talked about his pass protection and how

1234
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 5: difficult that can be for a rookie running back. So

1235
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 5: to see him be very good in his past protection.

1236
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 5: They and those home run hitters will come. But I

1237
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 5: will say this Raiders week. Those fans don't like the Chargers,

1238
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 5: and Chargers don't like the fans. I used to throw

1239
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,479
Speaker 5: batteries at us. They used to talk about it our mom,

1240
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 5: our dad, our aunt. Like we pull into that stadium

1241
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 5: halfway through the game, you start to smell something.

1242
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 6: You're like, what's that. It's a great atmosphere. Yeah, I

1243
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:10,640
