I hold it 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: here in my lap so I can get all my stats. See, 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 2: this is the Tennessee New Orleans game that I'll be 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: looking at and we'll be talking about, because we're gonna 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: look back, Chris, but we're gonna look forward to. But 13 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: I don't like the way you're shoving yours right in 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: my face. Mine right here being used. 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: My placement is perfect right now. 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: It is. Mine's not. 17 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: You can see it, and it's terrible. 18 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 2: Mine's terrible. But every now and then I'll do this 19 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: as I read the stats, and then I'll be back 20 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: on the screen every time. 21 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Every time you hit us with some stats, you get 22 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: a flash hit. 23 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: That's right. 24 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: We're gonna look ahead to Tennessee and uh put Miami 25 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: in the rear view, but we do have to talk 26 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 3: about it. Thirty six, thirty four, the Dolphins beat the 27 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: Chargers Week one at SOFI Stadium, by far the most 28 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 3: entertaining game on the slate. Week one I think there 29 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: were nine lead changes. 30 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: Two ties. 31 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: Buddy, you and DJ called a gem of a game 32 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: from a from a points perspective, there was a lot 33 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: of good and definitely a decent amount of bad. 34 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Where do you want to start? 35 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I guess you just pick a side. 36 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: You know, which side of the ball you want to 37 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: start on. Because if you want to talk about the good, 38 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: you talk about the offense. If you want to talk 39 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: about that, let's talk. While we said it, you got 40 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: to marry the run of the pass and the you know, 41 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: when you're facing Vic Fangio, we look, we've got a 42 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: Vic Fangio disciple that that's that's the head coach of 43 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: the Chargers. You know what it looks like, it's a 44 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: lot of too high shelves. So have the Chargers had 45 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: issues with run defense in the past couple of years. 46 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: Here you go, Vic Fangio, too high, and Kellen Moore 47 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: is like, okay, I you know, yeah, Justin Herbert's one 48 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: of the best quarterbacks in the league. But if you're 49 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: going to give this to me, Vic, I'm gonna take it. 50 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: And he went out there and took it, and man 51 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: did he take it. It was impressive and we have 52 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 2: not seen I know that. Like you know, as we're 53 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: doing the broadcast, you're getting stats thrown at your statman 54 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: Steve Disager does an awesome job, and he's you know, 55 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: most charted. You know, once we're creeping up, oh, first 56 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: time they've had over two hundred. Last year they only 57 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: had two all season. Here we are in week one 58 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: over two hundred yards rushing and then oh wow, now 59 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: you haven't seen a total like this, with the exception 60 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: of the Cleveland game. And I said to Steven one 61 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: of the breaks, I said, it's so funny, like that's 62 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: that's the statman mentality, like what are the numbers? Where 63 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: where can I find? Is this the most jards? Is 64 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: it the second most charge? I said for DJ and 65 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: for me, it's eyeballs. We have not seen a rush 66 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: attack look like this in years where I mean, they 67 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: are just getting anything and everything they want. It's not 68 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: about the total numbers, not about the two hundred and 69 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: thirty three rush yards, It's not even about the five 70 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: point eight per It's about the It's about what Jamari 71 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: was doing, what Zion and Rashan were doing. And really, 72 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: when I went back and watched the and watched the 73 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: film and watch the game back. You know, on the 74 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: coaches film when you can just kind of slow things 75 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: down and check out different angles, and I enjoyed doing that. 76 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: For people that don't know coaches film, you have a 77 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: sideline view where you can see all twenty two players 78 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: at the same time. It's a little bit far away, 79 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: but you can see how the play shakes out. And 80 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: then they have two end zone cams, one from the 81 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: backside of the play and one from the front side 82 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: of the play. And man, when I was watching that 83 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: backside end zone cam, I have not seen the Chargers 84 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: tight ends block like that in years. And you know, 85 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: we talked about Gerald Everett Chris and how good of 86 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: a receiver he is and how he beats man coverage 87 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: regularly and things like that. Jerald blocked his tail off, 88 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: he had a couple he had a clean out block 89 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips on that fifty five yard run. He drove 90 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: him into the ground, And I mean, I was like, 91 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: damn Kellen, And I think that speaks to the offensive coordinator, right, 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: I'm sure he says this will not be tolerated. In 93 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: this offense. You are expected to block and to block effectively. 94 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: McKitty had a killer block. I think it was also 95 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: on Jalen Everett had a great block on Bradley Chubb. 96 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: And it's not like he needed to do that because 97 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: Rashaun Slater pitched a freaking shutout on Chubb. Chubb was 98 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: non existent in that game. So I'll start there, Chris. 99 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: I don't want to take it all from you, because 100 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: there's a lot to celebrate on offense, but to me, 101 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: that's what really stood out. The runs were great, Eckler 102 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: and josh were great, but really, man the tight ends 103 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: Parham had a couple they really really blocked well, as 104 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: did the offensive line. 105 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 3: So Kelly and Eckler both with sixteen carries Eckler sixteen 106 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: for one to seventeen, including that fifty five yarder, Josh 107 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: Kelly five point seven of Pops sixteen for ninety one. 108 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: Every rush that Joshua had seemed to go for positive 109 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: yardage and go for a for a big clip. I 110 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: was so impressed with the way that he ran. And 111 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: you know, I've said so many times, you've been on 112 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: his bandwagon for a couple of years now. We've just 113 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: been waiting for him to be healthy and that's what 114 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: you get with the healthy Joshua Kelly. I think everybody 115 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: expected the Chargers to go deep, to go vertical. We 116 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: know Vic Fangio was gonna take that away. Keenan Allen 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: was another guy who we just you know, this is 118 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: what he does, six or seventy six nine targets. 119 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: We know that Justin is most comfortable with Keenan Allen. 120 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: Very quiet from Quinton Johnson and Joshua Palmer and Mike Williams. 121 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: But that was kind of how the game shook out. 122 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: That's what you know. It dictated in terms of getting 123 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: the running game going. 124 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're gonna give it to me. I'm gonna 125 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: take it. 126 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: You goa, You're gonna take it. 127 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: So I think it shows that this this offense can 128 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: be multiple, They can be diversified in terms of running 129 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: the ball when they need to, and we know that 130 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: Justin can get it to his weapons uh when he 131 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: needs to as well. 132 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Uh Miami. Though they moved the ball. 133 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: Up and down the field starting with that opening drive, 134 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: the Charges got very lucky when Tua fumbled and they 135 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: recovered saved the touchdown. That was the bad side and 136 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: we knew you're not going to stop Tyreek Hill and 137 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle and Tua in this Miami offense for four quarters. 138 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: It's just it's what they do. You know, they have 139 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: speed all over the field. 140 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: But it was. 141 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: Concerning thirty six points, five hundred and thirty six yards, 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: four hundred and sixty six passing yards by Tua and 143 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill basically doing whatever he wanted eleven for two fifteen. 144 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: It was an eye opener, money, because we've talked about 145 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 3: that Week fourteen game and how Brandon Staley game planned 146 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: and how it was masterful, and that was a big 147 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: reason why they won that game. 148 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: In December to help propel them to get into the postseason. 149 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: Brada Sale even said last week, this is going to 150 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: be a completely different game, different personnel, different coaches, and 151 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: he certainly was right because that Tua performance that we 152 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: saw week one very different from what we saw last December. 153 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 3: Four hundred and sixty six yards. 154 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to figure 155 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: out how to do it here. Yeah, it was just 156 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: it was confounding. I could not make any sense of it. 157 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 2: And when you went when you go back to watch 158 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: it again, it's just it's a horror film. I mean 159 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: it is. It is a horror film. When you watch it, 160 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: you you know they're the corners are lined up to 161 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: play press, but their hands are at their sides and 162 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: they never get their hands on the guys. It's like, okay, 163 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: if you're what happened to last year when every time 164 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: the ball was snapped these dudes got jammed at the 165 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. You know, I can't tell you how 166 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: when you go back and watch how many snaps you'll 167 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: see you know, either Jossier mostly JC. JC had a 168 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: terrible game. There's just no way to sugarcoat it. It was brutal. 169 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: But you know, the guy's coming back from an injury 170 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: and maybe he just wasn't quite ready to be out there. 171 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: But JC, we know, okay, this is pressman corner, and 172 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: you're gonna able to put him out there and assign 173 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: him to somebody and just let him go. Well, they 174 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: assign him to Tyreek Hill and it was a mess. Uh. 175 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: And he's lined up in press and he's got his 176 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: hands down at his sides and here's a little juke 177 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: from Tyreek, who's one of the best, if not the 178 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: best receiver in the game. He's gone, and jc's leverages 179 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: were bad. He's playing outside leverage when he should be 180 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: playing inside, or inside leverage when he should be playing out. 181 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: The secondary wasn't connected. Like I I don't want to 182 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: say Derwin it's because I don't know what the calls are. 183 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: But based on what you see on the film, it's like, Okay, 184 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: I think he should be pushing Tyreek Hill to the inside, 185 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: but is Darwin lost? Is something not? And I think 186 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: you just start asking these questions, why are all of 187 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: these great players not performing in this defense? Is are 188 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: they being asked to do too much? Is it? You know, 189 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: when you're in Cover one and now you're in a 190 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: too high shell and now it's a Cover six where 191 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: you've got a loie with half the field and quarters 192 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: on the other side, and now we're in a Cover 193 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: two and Derwin's playing the slot and now Assante's jumping 194 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: out to the outside. I don't know what it is, 195 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: because there are too many good players on this defense 196 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 2: for it to look like that. Just bad sort of 197 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: bad diagnosis and angles taken from JT on a couple 198 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: plays Kenneth Again, some of the similar stuff we talked 199 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: about in the past showed up again where you're just 200 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's his assignment? Where should he 201 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: be because I know he's not supposed to be there. 202 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: I don't know where he's supposed to be, but he's 203 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: not supposed to be there. There. There was a lot 204 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: of that going on, and so I wonder if you 205 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: chalk it up to week one and the guy's not 206 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: playing in the preseason in any games and just kind 207 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: of getting out there and now the bullets are flying 208 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: and it's just maybe a little overwhelming. But I'll say that, 209 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 2: like the my big takeaway is and I would say 210 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: this to Brandon, and you know, he's coach is awesome. 211 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: He's great, and he's so good to us, and he's 212 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: very upfront whenever we have a chance to talk to 213 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: him before the broadcast and stuff. 214 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: Buddy, I heard your interview with him with Petros. I think, yeah, 215 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: on was it Monday? 216 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: It was on Monday. And he's great. He comes on 217 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: every Monday, no matter win or lose. Coach comes on 218 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: with us every Monday, and you ask the tough questions 219 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: and he's good luck that. He's like, look, you gotta 220 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: be honest with yourself. You gotta figure it out, and 221 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: I think it gives me an opportunity to ask the 222 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: dumb questions because I'm not a football savant like DJ 223 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 2: is or like petros is, so I can ask I 224 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: think some of the questions that like sort of your 225 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: average viewer would have, and it's if Tyreek is doing 226 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: that to you, why are you just not taking it away? 227 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: Why not devote another body and just say I don't 228 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: care enough. I'm not going to allow this to continue 229 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: to happen. I said, Look, I'd even I would approach 230 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 2: it like it was a punt and I would just 231 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: put two guys right on top of him like he's 232 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: the gunner. Just take him out of the play and 233 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: figure out if somebody else can do it to you. 234 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: And look a lot there was a lot of somebody else. 235 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: There's so much attention because Tyreek could not be stopped. 236 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: But Durham Smite had that huge catch on fourth down 237 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: on a misdiagnosed play. You had, Jalen Waddle had some 238 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: big ones like it was it, Braxton Barrios had a 239 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: huge one against Derwin when Durwan was lined up opposite 240 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: him in the slack. It's just they could not get 241 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: anything right. Like it was just like I said, it 242 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: was a mess from the start, and I'll just quickly 243 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: button it with this if the Chargers win that game. 244 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: This is still being discussed, but not nearly as much as. 245 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: Oh wait, I thought Vic Fangio was supposed to fix 246 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: the Dolphins defense. Wasn't Vic supposed to fix it? And 247 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: you're gonna sit in a too high shell and watch 248 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: them just gash you carry after like that would have 249 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: been the conversation. I don't know if that's the conversation 250 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 2: in Miami, but I'm guessing it's gonna be. Hey man, 251 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: you better figure out how to get your run defense right, 252 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: because the Chargers made fools of you on the ground, 253 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 2: absolute fools of you on the ground. So I think 254 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: it's important to put it into context. You know that 255 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: these are two the better personnel defenses in the league, 256 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: and the Chargers offense was able to dash. You know 257 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: that that Miami defense that's really good and the Dolphins. 258 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: The Dolphins offense was able to do it to the 259 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: Chargers defense as well. 260 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: There's seventeen games in the season, and I hate to 261 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: overreact to things, but this is what we do. Right, 262 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: Like after a game, we break down what we see 263 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: and you push it forward to the next week. You 264 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: don't go to the super Bowl or miss the playoffs 265 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: in Week one. 266 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of football to go. 267 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: Just one of the more remarkable stats that jumped out 268 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 3: to me money was when we talk about Tyreek Kiell, 269 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: he was targeted fifteen times, Like, so this just shows 270 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 3: me that the TUA saw looks that that said, Okay, 271 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna target Tyreek fifteen times, and Jalen Wattle five times, 272 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: ten few, I mean, and it Smite was targeted seven times. 273 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 3: So you know, it was just this huge drop off 274 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: where it's like, Okay, Tyreek's the best player on the 275 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: field and I can get him the ball at any time, 276 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: at any moment. And I'll say this about jac I 277 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: give him a lot of credit for battling back from 278 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 3: that really tough knee injury. Like when we saw that 279 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 3: knee injury, I thought it would be a very small 280 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: percentage that we would see him opening day Week one. 281 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: That said, what happened before halftime, that has nothing. 282 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: To do with it. 283 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: Inexcusable, inexcusable, it's inexcusable, and it led to three points 284 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: and you lose by two Okay, the interception, great, running 285 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: it out and getting five yards, and then Justin getting 286 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 3: sacked as won on that series, punting it away in 287 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: the next play, you get burnt by Tyreek. Can't happen 288 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: like you have to know when to get down. Give 289 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, you know, the ball to twenty twenty five whatever, 290 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 3: and then let him engineer a drive down the field. 291 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: These are the little things that have nothing to do 292 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: with an injury that I think hurt this team. 293 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: And then they lost by two. Chris, that's it. They 294 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: lost by two. He gave him. J C gave him 295 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: three points. He gifted them three points. And I look, 296 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: it's Thursday when we're doing this. It's well past he 297 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: knows now. But I'll just say, you know what I 298 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: said in the moment on the broadcast, I said, that's 299 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: one of the dumber plays you'll ever see on a 300 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 2: football field. That was just my It was probably a 301 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: little harsh, but that was my reaction in the moment, 302 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: and I think that's what everybody reacted. And that's what's 303 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: called situational football. You practice it. And you know the 304 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: thing about JC that's so frustrating in that play is 305 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick does not tolerate stupid players. You know, he 306 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: just doesn't. He drafts smart players, that's what he wants. 307 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: So you know, the guy is on the Patriots in 308 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: an All Pro for the Patriots for a reason. Like 309 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: that's what's so crazy about that play. It's like, how 310 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: are you the guy that does that? You played with 311 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: the Patriots for five years, Like that's not what happens 312 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: on a Bill Belichick coach defense. And it never happened 313 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: to you on that defense. So how did it just 314 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: happen now all the times to show up? Uh, it 315 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: was so strange. There's two seconds on the clock when 316 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: the ball is snapped and now there's zero, Like you know, 317 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: there's zero on the clock when it's in the air. 318 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if he catches it. Just let him 319 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: catch four guys there, let him catch it. Who cares. 320 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: It was not thrown to the end zone. It was 321 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: two It usn't have the arm to get it to 322 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: the end zone, so let him catch it, big deal, 323 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: Like it's just it's crazy. And then as you said, 324 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: now listen that that Derwin did that I think two 325 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: years ago. Was either last year or two years it was. 326 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: It was one of those two where he intercepted the 327 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: ball in the end zone and brought it out and 328 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: ran out of bounce at the three and you're like, 329 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: come on, man, you have got And that's that's the 330 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: that's the alpha mentality of I could take a knee here, 331 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: but I don't get these opportunities off. And let's see 332 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: if I can get this thing to go one hundred 333 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: and five yards to pay dirt. And you just can't 334 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: do that. You gotta and I thought, Coach put it best. 335 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: You have to. You have to be a to in 336 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: the moment, in one second, less than a second, assess 337 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: what's in front of me. Where am I at on 338 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: the field. I'm in the corner of the end zone. 339 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: There's two Dolphins in front of me. They're one of 340 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: the fastest teams in the league. This is going nowhere. 341 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: Take the knee. If you're in the center of the 342 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: end zone and you're like, you know what, a lot 343 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: of green and straight in front of me, and I 344 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: might be able to make a couple of coups. Okay, 345 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: that's fine, but again, think about it. You've got to 346 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: be able to process and be a smart football player, 347 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: which JC has got to be because you don't get 348 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: to play on the Patriots at that level for that 349 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: many years without being smart and money. 350 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 3: If you take JC out of it in the fourth quarter, 351 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: because I think by the fourth quarter, JC wasn't on Tyreek. 352 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: He's out of the game. He should have been out 353 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: of the game at halftime. 354 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jasir Taylor gave up a big play to Tyreek 355 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 3: that set of the touchdown. 356 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: That was on Michael Davis. 357 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: First of all, Michael Davis, I don't know if you 358 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: could have better coverage. It was a fade to a 359 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: small receiver who caught it perfectly and I think the 360 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 3: only place that he could catch it. 361 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: But saying that, it wasn't just JC. 362 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: There were breakdowns in the secondary from a lot of 363 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 3: different guys, and I think jac was the most glaring 364 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: because of what happened before the half, because of that. 365 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: That because he got I mean, he didn't make a play. 366 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 2: You know, the play that he swatted away was underthrown 367 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: by Tua. Like that's he was able to recover, you know, 368 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: like that's that's the only reason why that ball wasn't 369 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: completed for a touchdown. That was the big issue with 370 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: Jac is he could not he couldn't play like it 371 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: just it wasn't there to the third and ten that 372 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: you're talking about, Chris. Why is Chasira on an island 373 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: against Tyreek Hill on a third and ten? That's what 374 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm saying. Okay, if he's if he's there, and they're like, 375 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: you know what, just here's a big guy, and we 376 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: believe he's got the strength to jam Tyreek. We just 377 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 2: want to get him off his rhythm and then Drwin 378 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: is gonna sprint from his high safety spot and feel that, 379 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: you know, fill that area of the field. He's he's 380 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: standing again, he's in press, He's got his hands at 381 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: his sides. Here's Tyreek. He now busts and gets outside. 382 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: Darwin's got inside quarters and now Tyreek's outside and Derwin 383 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: can't get there. It's like, what it's a third and ten? 384 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: Why is Derwin James twenty yards from the ball? First 385 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: of all, I mean, I know what they're playing. They 386 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: don't want them to break it for a touchdown. They're 387 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: trying to keep everything in front of them. But just 388 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 2: it's it's plays like that that you're just like, what 389 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 2: what am I watching? 390 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: I hate to continue on this, but we have to 391 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 3: talk about the pass rush too. I realized Two it 392 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: was getting the ball out of his hands quickly. And 393 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: he's saded much after the game, right, he said. 394 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: The ball was out. The ball was out. 395 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 3: But Khalil McK and Joey Boss zero quarterback hits obviously, 396 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: zero quarterback sacks. 397 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: The pass rush just wasn't there. 398 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: And if this is the blueprint that you know the 399 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: Dolphins are going to show to the rest of the 400 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 3: league to get the ball out of your hands, Like, 401 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: at what point do we say to the ball was 402 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 3: out too quickly? And there's certain instances where you have 403 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 3: to generate enough pressure to affect him. Like where's the 404 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 3: balance there? Because I can't have my two all Pro 405 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: rushers with zero quarterback hits in a football game in 406 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: which the quarterback throws for almost five hundred yards. 407 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, you know, I know people like to charger 408 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: fans like to puff their chest out about the Herbert 409 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: versus to a thing. But that's what two is really 410 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: good at. Tua is so good in that offense, and 411 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: he is built for that offense, and it's what he 412 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: did at Alabama. He is a quick processor. He gets 413 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: from his reads. There are very few quarterbacks it's look, 414 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: people will think I'm crazy when I say it, but no, 415 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: it's Tom Brady esque. How fast he gets through his 416 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: reads and when you have and this is where speed 417 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: comes into play. This is what we talk about when 418 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: you want players that are fast. So when he's able 419 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: to process from left to right and by the time 420 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: he gets to the other side of the field and 421 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: it's a three by one and he's now gone through, Okay, 422 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 2: Burial smythe waddle. By the time he's at Tyreek, Tyreek's 423 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 2: ten yards down the field, and he's now created four 424 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 2: yards of separation between himself and J. C. Jackson. And 425 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: that all transpires in under two seconds. Under two seconds 426 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: is what we are talking about. That's how fast Tyreek 427 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: is and how fast to a process is. No one's 428 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: getting to him in two seconds. It's not happening. So 429 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 2: I get it and and and there were a couple 430 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: times where you didn't. You got sucked inside. There was 431 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: I saw I remember a play from Khalil. He got 432 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: sucked inside. He needed to he needed to contain the 433 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: outside and he didn't until it was able to roll 434 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: out and get a big gain, you know, and throw 435 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: for a big game. But but to me. Most of 436 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: it was. This is what you're talking about when you 437 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: say your defense has to be connected. It wasn't connected. 438 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: In order to get home, you had to jam those 439 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: receivers at the line of scrimmage. You just had to 440 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: get your hands on them. And they didn't. They almost never. 441 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: There was one play where Derwin cleaned out to h 442 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: I cleaned out uh Tyreek, and I was like, can 443 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: we get some more of that? Can we please get 444 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: some more of that? I would have put Durwin on 445 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: on Tyreek from the start in every snap. I would 446 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: have jammed him in the chest every time, every damn time. 447 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: Just jam him, Just make it tough for him, get 448 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: him out of his rhythm. And from the first snap 449 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: of the game, well, the first snap wasn't offsides from 450 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 2: the second play of the game, there's a very odd 451 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: Khalil is like he he was sneak it was I 452 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: think it was Jalen if I remember right. I don't 453 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 2: know if it was Jayleen. I thought it was Jayleen 454 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 2: Waddle where he's liked a breakdown. 455 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: I think it was Tyreek. 456 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know what, har I got it 457 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: right here. Let's let's uh, let's look at it right now. 458 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: It's one of the great things about UH our friends 459 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: over at Pro Football Focus, we can do it. Let's 460 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 2: see Miami, We'll do that, and then we'll go to 461 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: reports and we'll go to receiving staff and let's actually, 462 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: you know what, No, let's do this. This is how 463 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: we work through it, folks. We're gonna go to passing 464 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: stats and let's go to dropbacks from Tua and here 465 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: it is on the first and five. Umm, who is that. 466 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: Let's see, Yeah, there's Kennel. There's Khalil sneaking out and 467 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 2: he's over the top of Yeah, that's Tyreek. And it's like, 468 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: what if Khalil. If Khalil is gonna go out there, 469 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: if that's what you're gonna do, then guess what. Knock 470 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: him on his ass, have him straight across from Tyreek Hill, 471 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: and as soon as the ball is snapped, fire into 472 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: him and knock him on his ass. Because at that point, 473 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 2: by the time Khalil then by the time it's snapped, 474 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 2: he's too far to get to Tua and Aloi is 475 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: twenty yards behind. The ball is being snapped at the 476 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: twenty seven and when the ball is snapped, I'm watching 477 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: the play right now off screen Aloi Gilman is at 478 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: the forty five, he's almost he's fifteen yards back. There's 479 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: just there's nothing you can do. So that was just 480 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: kind of one of those curious plays. Is the first place, well, 481 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: the first play was an offside, so that was the 482 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: second play you know from scrimmage where Khalil creeps out 483 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: over Tyreek and then doesn't touch him And now you're 484 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: fifteen yards away from Tua. You're not even on the 485 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage to get after him. So what what's 486 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 2: the point of that? Like, that's just one of those. 487 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: And I didn't see the Baldy breakdown, but I'm assuming 488 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: that's essentially what he said, right, Like why. 489 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like he said, what basically, what are we 490 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: doing here? 491 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: Right? 492 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 3: Was the player in all of football? And Khalil Mack 493 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: is like, why am I on him? 494 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: Why am I here? Right? Or if you're there, you 495 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: know why you're there because you're gonna punch him in 496 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: the chest and the first snap of the game and 497 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 2: you're gonna let him know it's gonna be a long day. 498 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long day, you know what. Maybe 499 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: you're gonna burn by me after I knock you back, 500 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna knock you back with two hundred and 501 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: seventy pounds and you're gonna feel it. So yeah, that's 502 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: anyway we should. 503 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: Okay that that was our defensive breakdown. And again it's 504 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: a different style of fight against Tennessee. 505 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: We'll get into that before and that's the thing. Yeah, 506 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: before we get to Tennessee. 507 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 3: Money just quickly on Justin Herbert twenty three of thirty 508 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 3: three two twenty nine and a touchdown. Didn't really have 509 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: an opportunity to go deep. Didn't seem like they wanted 510 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 3: to go deep because of maybe I guess how Vic 511 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 3: was playing them, and they were getting the run all day. 512 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: So I think you scored thirty reflective of what they 513 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 3: were given, right. 514 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: They scored thirty four points if you want to for 515 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: people that say Justin looked uncomfortable and he was getting 516 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 2: a little bit. There was a little bit of that, 517 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: I think if you, if you want to be picky 518 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 2: about it, the intentional grounding, I'm sure is the one 519 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: that that he's most focused on. It was just a 520 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 2: really interesting play because all of the protection slid to 521 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: the right, which means your hot read should be to 522 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: the left on that blitz. He knew it was coming. 523 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: You can see him creeping on the line of scrimmage. 524 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 2: So it was just sort of a like just you know, 525 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: a misfire of the synapse, if you will. Like it 526 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: was just a very strange play. It's like, well, we've 527 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: seen him make this play a million times. He's got 528 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: the arm strength, he doesn't even need to set his feet. 529 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: You want to bring a blitz, He's going to get it, 530 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: even though it's twenty yards away to the hot reed. 531 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: And I think it was Everett who was out there 532 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 2: or par him on that play. But it was just 533 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: very strange because it was set up to do exactly 534 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: what it did. And if you go back and watch it, yeah, 535 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: the hot read's wide open and it's probably going to 536 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: go for another ten yards and get a first down, 537 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: and for some reason he went is though as hot 538 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: was going to be to his right and Josh Kelly 539 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: wasn't far enough out and that's what derailed that final 540 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 2: drive after the first completion of ten yards. But other 541 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: than that, I thought it was you know, I thought 542 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: he looked great. I thought there were some great throws, 543 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 2: you know that that drive starter to Mike Williams, I'm like, 544 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: all right, there we go. Now we're rolling. This is 545 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 2: this is gonna be fun. And then you get a 546 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 2: second and twenty or you know, a second, first and 547 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: twenty whatever it was, and it just fell apart. Then 548 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: credit Vic Fancio. You know, he brought the heat. He 549 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: hadn't brought it all day. And then on that final 550 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 2: drive he's like, oh no, I'm coming. And if you 551 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: can get Piet, if you can get past us, great, 552 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 2: but you're gonna have to beat seven guys in your 553 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: lap in or in order to make that happen. So 554 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: other than that, I thought you played great. 555 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 3: We don't have enough of a sample size of kellib 556 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: Bores the offensive coordinated with the Chargers, but I think 557 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 3: it bodes well when you see the way they ran 558 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 3: the football versus last year. And I think based on 559 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 3: the opponent, how they're going to play offense, because we 560 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 3: know that Justin Herbert's more than capable of getting the 561 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: ball down the field. And you know, Quentin Johnson, Josh 562 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 3: Palmer very quiet in this game, Mike Williams very quiet 563 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: until the end. So I think Week two definitely going 564 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 3: to be a different style and we'll get into it 565 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 3: right now. Hey, big thank you to our partner, Microsoft Surface, 566 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 3: the official sideline technology and laptop of the NFL and 567 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Chargers that provides players and coaches with 568 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 3: the tools to succeed both on. 569 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: And off the field.

So Mandy, 572 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 3: Week two Chargers going down to Nashville, and this is 573 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: two teams who had tough losses in Week one trying 574 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 3: to bounce back. The Titans doing it at home after 575 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 3: losing to the Saints in New Orleans sixteen to fifteen. 576 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: This was an ugly physical football game. 577 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: I know you're watching the film right now getting ready 578 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 3: to in prepping for the Titans. 579 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: What did you see on film? 580 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: Well, this is kind of just going back to our 581 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: last conversation right about the defense. This is it's a 582 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: big one for coach for in the defense because it's 583 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 2: a completely different attack. Like, all right, you got crushed 584 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 2: by speed and Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle and Mike 585 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: McDaniel and all the creativity had to come up with 586 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: all off season to get after you. This is now 587 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: going to be a you know, pretty straightforward. We're going 588 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: to head it to Dereck Henry and good luck tackling 589 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 2: him and going back and watching every one of his runs. 590 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: The Saints committed eight in the box on nearly every 591 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: snap they were. They didn't care. They're like, you know what, tanneheale, 592 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: if you want to beat us over the top, go 593 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: ahead and try. And that's the kind of good thing 594 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: about DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. These are not fast receivers, 595 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 2: so you don't necessarily have to worry about that explosive 596 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: play downfield burning you. You can commit those resources to 597 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: the box, and yet still you look at it and 598 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: where is it. Derrick Henry fifteen carries sixty three yards 599 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: average four point two, had a long of eighteen. He 600 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 2: was doing Derrick Henry things. He's carrying guys down the field, 601 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: you know, for three four yards at a time. Just 602 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: the interesting thing about it was, for whatever reason, they 603 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: didn't stick with it. Ryan Tannehill threw the ball thirty 604 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: four times and those three interceptions those were bad. I 605 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: mean they were bad interceptions. One of them was straight 606 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: into double coverage. Inexplicably, the other two were just underthrown, 607 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: deep ball, underthrown to the opposite sideline, and easy pickens. 608 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: It was interesting because it was all so much of 609 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: it was and I get it new Hopkins is awesome. 610 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: The guy catches everything. His hands are a freaking set 611 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: of hands. Is a vacuum. But I don't have the targets. 612 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: Oh here we go. Yeah, thirteen targets to Hopkins. Thirteen targets. 613 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: Next up was Westbrook A Kine at seven and then 614 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 2: Treylon Burke's had three. The two running backs combined for seven, 615 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: Henry and Spears and that was it. So let's get 616 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: a nice, big physical Mikey Davis on Hopkins. Let's shade 617 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: some help, bracket them, double them the whole game and 618 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: get after it and see if you can do the 619 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: same thing the Saints did, because that's essentially what they 620 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: did for the thirteen targets. He caught seven for sixty, 621 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: a long of sixteen. There was no real damage there, 622 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 2: and they just it was a really really bad game 623 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 2: by Ryan Tannehill. It was just it was very strange 624 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 2: to watch. And you know, if you're going to follow 625 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: what Dennis Allen and the Saints did, they just threw. 626 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 2: They had eight in the box the whole time. I mean, 627 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: and at times Chris right at the snap, that safety, 628 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: that single high safety was sprinting into the box to 629 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: make it nine. And you just kind of had your 630 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: your outside corners manned up on Berks and Hopkins the 631 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: whole time. So I would suspect you're going to see 632 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: something very very similar from Brandon Staley, and you know, 633 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 2: I would expect to. I would expect to see a 634 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: really good defensive performance. I think this lines up pretty 635 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: well for them, for the bodies they have, for the 636 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 2: health that they have. Right now, I'm thinking that this 637 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: should be a good one for the Chargers. 638 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: Tanehill with three interceptions, they were two of twelve on 639 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: third down, So the Chargers defense, honestly, Miami didn't get 640 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: to third down as much. 641 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: As that's the thing, Like the third downstants against Miami 642 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: looked good, but it's like, yeah, they really didn't need 643 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 2: they had twenty And that's a funny. Like I said, 644 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: that's the thing about that game is if the Chargers 645 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: just win the game, the warts are covered up and 646 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: we're talking about Vic Fangio, we are talking about Okay, 647 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: this Vic Fangio defense teams have figured it out. They're 648 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: just gonna run and if you have a good old 649 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 2: line and a good running backs, they're gonna destroy you 650 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: on the ground. And that's what they That would have 651 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: been the conversation today, but instead it's Brandon Staley supposed 652 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: to be the defensive genius. How are you gonna give 653 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: up five hundred and thirty six yards and the most 654 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: yards and the history of the Chargers it here and 655 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: you know all and they had twenty The reason I 656 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: bring that up is because the Chargers had twenty seven 657 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: first downs. The Dolphins had twenty eight. Like these these 658 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: two offenses were just it was easy for them. So 659 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: that's why, you know, like you said, third down, they 660 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: were four to nine. But again, we're not looking back anymore. 661 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: We're looking forward, no, And you have to because again 662 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 3: this Tennessee team is very different. I think defensively they're fit. 663 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: I mean live by Jeffrey Simmons. Man Derek Carr said 664 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 3: it was the most physical game he's played in a decade. 665 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: They beat him up. I don't know if he saw 666 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 3: the micd up. He got destroyed. I think it was 667 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 3: a late hit and got back up and you know, 668 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: the dude acknowledged that, hey, I hit you late. But 669 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: Derek Carr, he was getting battered in that game. So 670 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 3: I think protecting Justin Herbert, the Chargers did a really 671 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 3: nice job of doing that until the end of the game. 672 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 3: The two or twelve on third down, the o of 673 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 3: three in the red zone for the Titans. The Chargers 674 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 3: can't just can't allow the Titans to do what the 675 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 3: Dolphins did on the outside. Now, they don't have the speed, 676 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: but DeAndre Hopkins thirteen targets. Tyreek Hill had fifteen targets. 677 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 3: You don't want to have riots to lock in on 678 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins and and he have a day and then 679 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: it opens things up for Derrick Henry. So I think 680 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 3: this will be a great test for this Chargers defense 681 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: to see if they can stop the run led by 682 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. 683 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: You know Spears, the rookie there, gives them a nice 684 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: change of pace. 685 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 686 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 3: But Tannehill? What Tannehill? Are we gonna see? We're gonna 687 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: see the guy from last week? And you know the 688 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 3: interesting thing about this game, money, is that the Dolphins 689 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: and Titans played. 690 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: The Chargers back to back last year. So Mike Rabel. 691 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 3: It's very fresh in his mind what happened to his 692 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 3: team when Malik Willis was in for a majority of 693 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 3: that game and they nearly won it. So, Mike Rabel, 694 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: I think one of the best coaches in football too. 695 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 3: He's gonna have his guys ready. And uh I think 696 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 3: that the fact that they have a lot of their 697 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 3: horses back this year, uh as as opposed to you 698 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 3: saw the injury list last year in December. 699 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a very tough game for the Chargers. 700 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 2: Chris. When I put my when I did my prep 701 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: and I put what's called my board. You know, when 702 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: you're when you're in a football game, you have what's 703 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: called the board and has all the players offense defense 704 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: there were from last year's game. I still had my 705 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: board from last year, so I pull up, you know, so, oh, 706 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 2: can I save some time here and just copy and 707 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: paste eight eight players from last year's defense are on 708 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 2: this year's defense. And it's not because of free agency. 709 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 2: It's because everybody was hurt and there were a ton 710 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 2: of practice squad guys out there and they still held 711 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: the Chargers to seventeen points. Now you saw what that 712 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 2: offensive line looked like yesterday with everybody healthy. Let's not 713 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 2: forget in that seventeen to fourteen game, the Chargers were 714 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: playing with a ton of backups, specifically along the offensive line. 715 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 2: So when you're watching Rashaan Slater pitch a shutout against 716 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: Bradley Chubb, this is one of the better fronts they're 717 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 2: going to face. It is. And last year they wrecked 718 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 2: shop on Herbert. He threw two picks, he got sacked 719 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 2: three times, and that was without Harold Landry Simmons was 720 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: in that game, but that was it. No de Niko 721 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: Autrey like they I don't think Denico Autry was in 722 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 2: that game. I'm pretty anyway, there was like the guys 723 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 2: are back, This defense is now is now whole, and 724 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: Landry's Landry and Simmons combined are a load. So this 725 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: is where we're gonna see, you know. And look, when 726 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: you're talking about the Dolphins, that's one of the great takeaways, 727 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 2: Like I said from that game when I brought up 728 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: the offensive line, Christian Wilkins one of the best defensive 729 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: tackles in the game. The guy had ninety eight tackles 730 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: last year from the interior, ninety eight. He had three 731 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 2: last week. Completely ineffective because either Zion and Corey or 732 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 2: Jamari and Corey were all over him. They're gonna have 733 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 2: to do it again this week against Jeffrey Simmons, and 734 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 2: he's even better, and he's a much more upfield player 735 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: than Wilkins is. But they shut out, absolutely pitched a shutout. 736 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 2: Rashaun Slater against Bradley Chubb. He had nothing. I'm looking 737 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: at it now, he's not in the box score. Bradley Chubb. 738 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: Not a pressure, not a hurry, not a hit, not 739 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 2: a sack. Welcome back for Shaun Slater. So hopefully that's 740 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 2: where you'll I would assume they're going to be moving 741 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 2: Landry around a little bit. But old friend Alert arden Key. 742 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 2: We remember what he did last year in Jacksonville, we 743 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 2: remember what he did in Oakland. So he had a 744 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 2: heck of a game last week against the Saints. So 745 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to deal with arden Key. Tierre Tart 746 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 2: like they've got really good front seven players that are 747 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 2: healthy this year, and it'll be another test for the 748 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 2: offensive line. But thankfully, I think it might be the 749 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 2: strength of this team. I think it might be the 750 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 2: best group of any as good as the receivers are 751 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 2: the running backs, you know, quarterback. Take that out of 752 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: it because it's just one player. But I think the 753 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: offensive line might be the best grouping of any group 754 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 2: on this and and the defensive line is the best 755 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 2: thing that the Titans have going. So it's gonna be 756 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 2: much like the offenses where trading blows last week. It's 757 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: not as sexy, but that's it's gonna be a fun 758 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: matchup to see who gets the edge here between that 759 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 2: offensive line and that defensive line group. 760 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 3: Arden Key a second and a half two quarterback hits. 761 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 3: He's one of those new additions across the front. I 762 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 3: remember Chris Long a couple of days ago giving him props. 763 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 3: Sam dude, arden Key was a problem in that game 764 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 3: against the Saints. 765 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 2: If you look at it, he's very long. 766 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a long dude. And Jeffrey Simmons I think 767 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: is you know, say for Christians. 768 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 2: It's a joke. It's a joke. How big that guy 769 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 2: is and how fast he is. 770 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 3: I think his first career game came against the Charges 771 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: a few years ago. When when and that was actually 772 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 3: concently the game where Ryan Tannehill started went on that 773 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: run and the Chargers and Titans. I think we're both 774 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 3: like five and five at that time, just kind of 775 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 3: went in different directions. But Jeffrey Simmons probably should have 776 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 3: been a pick, went slipped in the draft, and he's arguably, 777 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 3: you know, I said, say for Aaron Donald and Chris Jones, 778 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: maybe the best defense. 779 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: He's up there in the league. 780 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's up there. If he didn't have the knee injury. 781 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 2: A little bit of off the field stuff caused him 782 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 2: to slip, but he's incredible. And you said it, Chris. 783 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: It was his first game destroyed the Chargers. That was 784 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 2: the Melvin Gordon fumble game, like nine times at the 785 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: at the goal line that would have won him. And 786 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 2: Austin was in. I contend that he was in. It 787 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 2: was it was bs that they didn't give him that 788 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: touchdown on that run and the Chargers should have won 789 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,720 Speaker 2: that game, and who knows, who knows what could have happened, 790 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: But and you know what, long term, it's a good 791 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 2: thing they lost that game and it fell apart because 792 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 2: that's what gave him the sixth overall pick, and Justin 793 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 2: Herbert is a is a Charger, so we'll take it. 794 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 2: You know, maybe thank you Melvin for the fumbles and 795 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 2: but Simmons great, and I'm just I'm gonna make sure 796 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 2: I get it right. So I'm gonna pull it up. 797 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 2: I want to make here we go get my fancy uh, 798 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 2: get my fancy Microsoft surface here with all of my Yeah, 799 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 2: you mentioned it. Ardent Key had the sack and a half. 800 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 2: Daniko Autry, like I said, I don't think he was 801 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: in that game last year with a sack and a half. 802 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 2: Simmons had the sack. But then you go through the 803 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 2: quarterback hits. They had eight quarterback hits. Dnik Autry had 804 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 2: four himself in that game. So that's the concern. Here's 805 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 2: here's the one thing you talked about, you know, Khalil 806 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 2: and Joey and no pressures. Andre Dillard, who I don't 807 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 2: know why they signed him to a big money deal. 808 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 2: He couldn't crack the rotation in Philadelphia despite being a 809 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 2: first round pick. He had a rough go that that's 810 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 2: that is uh, you know I say it repeatedly. You know, 811 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: find the cheeto. He was the cheeto. Because uh, here's 812 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: your numbers on Andre Dillard from last week. Four pressures, 813 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 2: three hurries, quarterback hit and a pressure rate sixteen percent 814 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 2: is what he allowed. Guys lined up opposite sixteen percent 815 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 2: of the snaps. There was a pressure on the quarterback 816 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 2: because of him. So that's go get it, you know, go, 817 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: And you know what. The O line was not great. Scaransky, 818 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 2: our friend from Northwestern, your friend from Northwestern, first round pick, 819 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 2: played pretty well. Gave up a couple pressures though, and 820 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 2: a sack. So take advantage of the rookie, take advantage 821 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 2: of a leaky Andre Dillard, and let's see if we 822 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,919 Speaker 2: can get you know, Khalil Matt Joey Tooley's first career sack. 823 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 2: Let's get a little bit of that going. 824 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 3: Well, let's spin it forward to this injury report because 825 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 3: we're taking this on a Thursday. Wednesday's injury report. Joey 826 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 3: Bosa did not practice with the hamstring. I don't know 827 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 3: what the severity is in terms of his availability, so 828 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,760 Speaker 3: keep an eye on that as we tape this. Austin 829 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 3: Eckler and ankle did not practice. Also personal reasons, just 830 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,959 Speaker 3: thoughts with with Austin and everybody. Yes, agent to his agent, 831 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 3: Camera Weiss, who who tragically passed away at such a 832 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 3: young age. Henley hamstring did not practice Kendrick's hamstring and 833 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: a personal reason did not practice, and Chris Rumff hamstring limited. 834 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 3: Everybody has a hamstring except for Austin's ankle. So the 835 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 3: running game, it could be josh Kelly's show. And you know, 836 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 3: I thought it was a little bit surprising Isaiah Spiller 837 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 3: was not active in Week one. 838 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 2: That make any sense to me? 839 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you know, they bring in Jared Patterson signed 840 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 3: him to the practice squad, So that tells me that 841 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 3: there's a chance that Austin may not play in this game. 842 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 3: I don't know how severe the ankle is. Again, I 843 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 3: could be proven wrong by Friday and he's good to go. 844 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 3: But I would keep an eye on the Chargers rushing attack. 845 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 3: And I think Joshua Kelly money a big opportunity for 846 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 3: him to have the line share. 847 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say a big opportunity for Isaiah 848 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 2: Spiller because if if Austin's not going, Austin, Isaiah's gonna go. 849 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 2: I do I want to try to get to the 850 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: bottom of that because I don't quite understand that. You know, 851 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 2: Isaiah has got juice that the other guys don't have. 852 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 2: We saw that in that seventy yard run and I 853 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 2: know I've said that about Elijah Dotson as well, but 854 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 2: like we talked about, Elijah's more of a death piece. 855 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 2: So I don't because the guy. It's not like he 856 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 2: took any snaps. You know, he didn't take any snaps 857 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: in the game. So there's something more to that. I 858 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 2: don't know what it is. But if Austin doesn't go, 859 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 2: Isaiah's gonna be up and he's going to be the 860 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 2: next guy on line. I would be absolutely floored if 861 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: that were not the case. So now one thing to remember, 862 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: this is not Vic Fangiel's defense. This is Mike Rabel's defense, 863 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 2: and it's the best run defense in the league. So 864 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 2: you're talking here, let's get let's get back to it. 865 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 2: What he did twenty seven carries, sixty nine yards two 866 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,439 Speaker 2: point six per, Jamal Williams two and a half per. 867 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: The only thing that made that a little bit more 868 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: lopsided was Shaheed's two carries for eleven yards. Outside of that, 869 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: had to rush it three times for four, Taysom Hill 870 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 2: three for four. Just nothing, absolutely nothing out there. So 871 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to make your bones in that passing 872 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 2: game to get this thing to open up a little bit. 873 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 2: And I expect him to do that and. 874 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 3: This will be this will be maybe the game where 875 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 3: we start to see Quintin Johnston and Joshua Palmer get 876 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 3: a little bit more involved because of how the Titans play. 877 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 3: And you said their rushing defense one of the best 878 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: in football. If you don't have Austin, it's gonna be 879 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 3: a tough challenge for Joshua Kelly and and you know what, frankly, 880 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 3: it's it's an opportunity for Isaiah Spiller. I hoped, you know, 881 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 3: if you're not gonna get many of them, you got 882 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 3: to take advantage of what you get. And if he's active, 883 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 3: it can go. You hope that he can be productive 884 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 3: and money. I just go back to the Dolphins game 885 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 3: and really this Saints Titans game sixteen to fifteen, right 886 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 3: thirty six to thirty four. We talked about the J. C. 887 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 3: Jackson play. There are literally like a handful of plays 888 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: that will decide football games. This is a billion dollar industry. 889 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 3: This is something where each week counts towards whether or 890 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 3: not you're gonna make the playoffs. You can't make mistakes, 891 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 3: you can't turn the ball over it in opportune times, 892 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 3: you can't have a pass the interference right before the half. 893 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 3: This team obviously needs to stay connected and play good football, 894 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 3: but they have to be smart, especially against a team 895 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 3: like Mike Rabel is one of the best coaches in 896 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 3: the NFL. He's gonna have his team ready to go. 897 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 3: You can't make mistakes against the Tennessee Titans because they'll 898 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 3: make you. 899 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 2: Pay, no doubt, and again they grind you. They grind 900 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 2: it out. They damn near you know, would have been 901 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 2: the Chargers' first round opponent with a third string quarterback. 902 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 2: I mean, they probably should have won that game last 903 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: year against Jacksonville in Week eighteen, and we should have 904 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: gone to Nashville and who knows. But point being, they're 905 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 2: gonna make you work for it. They don't get blown 906 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 2: out too often, you know. And so to think that 907 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: you're going to roll in there and run rough shot 908 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 2: over and would be something. You know, the Chargers have 909 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 2: the talent to do it, but it just rarely works 910 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 2: out that way with the Titans. So just be prepared 911 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 2: to dig in and Look, it may sound like we're 912 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 2: overreacting from one game. It's not an overreaction to the record. 913 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: It's not an overreaction to the loss. It's just an 914 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 2: overreaction to how it happened. And you know, and why 915 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 2: we continued to watch for four full quarters sort of 916 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 2: the same issue affect them and there were, you know, 917 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 2: no solutions. It was just frustrating to watch. You know, 918 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 2: last year the Bengals started zero in one, forty nine 919 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,720 Speaker 2: Ers started zero in one. They both made the conference 920 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 2: championship game. So it's one week is not that big 921 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 2: of a deal. It's now two weeks with two completely 922 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 2: different styles of offense. If it's another defensive issue that's 923 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 2: going to be a concern, It's like, okay, so the 924 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 2: speed and the quick passing game got you, and now 925 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 2: the beat the hell out of you up front. We're 926 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 2: going to bullyball you gotcha as well? Like that would 927 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: be a concern. So you know, and you just look 928 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 2: what you just rattled off. Starting defensive end, third or 929 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 2: fourth defensive end, or I should say edge, starting edge, 930 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 2: Joey Bosa hamstring, Chris Rump edge hamstring, middle of the field, 931 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 2: leader of the defense, green dot hamstring. One of the 932 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 2: most athletic players you can put them all over the field. 933 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 2: I would have suspected we would have saw a lot 934 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 2: more dayon Henley in that game, if you were healthy. 935 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: Based on how that particular you know group was going 936 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 2: with the linebackers, they had a rough day hamstring Austin Eckler, 937 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 2: one of the best weapons in all of football. Ankle 938 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 2: like it could be a much tougher sledding. It could 939 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 2: be much tougher sledding than we thought based on the 940 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 2: injury report that we're looking at. If this thing doesn't 941 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 2: change in a hurry by the time Sunday rolls around. 942 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 3: What's coming to decide it? On Sunday Monday. We talked 943 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 3: about so many different things. Obviously a much different style 944 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 3: of fight than what we saw against the Miami Dolphins. 945 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 3: And again we rattle off all these things. This is 946 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 3: all we got in terms of a sample. That's why 947 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 3: you overreact a little bit to week one, because that's 948 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 3: all we got. We got to move into week two 949 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,439 Speaker 3: and then sure, if good or bad, indifferent, well we'll 950 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 3: exhaust what happened against the Tennessee Titans. 951 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 2: It'll it'll be decided up front. You know, last week 952 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 2: was decided in the secondary and the receivers. Miami's receivers 953 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: were were able to get the better of the Chargers secondary. 954 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 2: This is going to be upfront both sides of the ball. 955 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 2: Does the offensive line establish do they get the push? 956 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 2: Are the Chargers able to run and then set up 957 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 2: play action and take advantage of that? And on the 958 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, are you able to you know, 959 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 2: mind your gaps, play smart attack, tackle, you know, gang tackle. 960 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 2: Somebody's holding up Derrick Henry and and the rest, you know, 961 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 2: arrives in time before he's he's breaking off and wrecking 962 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 2: a game. So that's that's where this game will be 963 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 2: one or lost. It'll be O line stopping that incredible 964 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 2: defensive front, and it'll be D line making sure that 965 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry does not, you know, have a chance to 966 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 2: give the The Titan is a thirty five minute time 967 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 2: of possession of twenty five for the Chargers, So that that, 968 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,479 Speaker 2: to me is how this thing will play out. 969 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 1: Yep. 970 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,280 Speaker 3: I think that the Chargers need to match the physicality 971 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 3: of the Titans that starts up front, and I think 972 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 3: justin Herbert, he's got a plenty of weapons on the outside. 973 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 3: If the Titans bottle up that running game and that 974 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,919 Speaker 3: rushing attack, and it looks different than what we saw 975 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 3: week one. I think Justin has the capability of getting 976 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 3: it to is his playmakers on the outside, and they're 977 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 3: gonna have to score and not make mistakes. I think 978 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 3: the Chargers have done a great job in terms of 979 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 3: taking the ball away. If you go back to Jacksonville 980 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 3: in Miami. That's what's remarkable about this. They're plus seven 981 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 3: in the turnover differentially. You know they didn't turn the 982 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 3: ball over in Jacksonville or Week one of Miami plus 983 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 3: seven and lost these games. 984 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 1: So it can happen, it can't happen, cannot happen. 985 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 3: But this is a big test, and I think the defense, 986 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 3: if anything, I think they're they're champion at the bit 987 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 3: to get out there and prove that that's not who 988 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,359 Speaker 3: they are this year. And it would be a heck 989 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 3: of a way to get your first win in the 990 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 3: AFC on the road against the Tennessee Titans. 991 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: Get to one and one and then focus on Minnesota. 992 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, get to what Look Coach Lynn used to say this, right, 993 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 2: he talked about and it was a Bill Parcells thing 994 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 2: quarters seasons in quarters. And I know we have seventeen now, 995 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 2: still a chance to finish this quarter three and one, 996 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,959 Speaker 2: finish every quarter three and one. Guess what, you're twelve 997 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 2: and four. I mean you're winning the division. So, by 998 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 2: no means is it over because of that week. It 999 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 2: was just frustrating the way it happened. It's not the loss. 1000 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 2: The Miami's a great team. They're going to make the playoffs. 1001 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 2: They're a really, really good team. And the offense was 1002 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 2: able to beat a defense with Xavian Howard and Christian 1003 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 2: Wilkins and Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips and Javon Holland. 1004 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 2: Those are good players and they wreck them for thirty 1005 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:55,959 Speaker 2: four points. Not a huge deal. The loss was uncomfortable 1006 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 2: to see, but get a win here, take advantage of 1007 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 2: minutes so in week three and then beat the absolute 1008 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 2: hell out of the Raiders in week four and go 1009 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 2: three and one, and you're feeling great through the first 1010 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 2: quarter of the season. 1011 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: Real quick? Would you make of the rest of the AFCUS? 1012 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: Obviously the Chiefs. 1013 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 3: We take that podcast Thursday morning, they lose that night. 1014 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 3: Raiders and Broncos. Just an ugly game in Denver seventeen sixteen. 1015 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 3: I think that was the final, right Jimmy seventeen sixteen. 1016 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Roppolo to Jacoby Myers, you know, was 1017 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 2: was what it was, and that's you know, DJ talked 1018 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 2: about this repeatedly. He's like, you know, Josh McDaniel has 1019 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 2: decided that his coaching fate will be one with players 1020 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 2: that he's comfortable with, that fit what he wants to 1021 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 2: do as opposed to talent. Darren Waller and Derek Carr 1022 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 2: are more talented than Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Myers. But 1023 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 2: Jacoby and Jimmy do what Josh wants them to do. 1024 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 2: They know what he wants and they delivered, you know, 1025 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 2: and it wasn't pretty and it was a win, and 1026 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 2: that's people keep saying that that. You know, Garoppol. I 1027 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 2: rarely root for the Raiders, but I did want to 1028 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 2: see Sean Payton humbled a little bit. He got a 1029 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 2: little too loose with his mouth in the preseason, so 1030 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,839 Speaker 2: it was kind of nice to see a not very 1031 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 2: good Chargers are not very good Raiders defense limit him 1032 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 2: to sixteen points the offensive genius to sixteen points. So 1033 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 2: that part was kind of fun. I think if you 1034 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 2: were to say, hey, worst case scenario, the Chargers start 1035 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 2: zero on one, the Broncos and Chiefs are two and zero. 1036 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 2: Best case scenario if the Chargers start zero and one, 1037 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,439 Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Chiefs are also zero and one, 1038 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 2: and the Raiders are one in zero. I'll take that 1039 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,959 Speaker 2: when it comes to keeping tabs on the AFC West 1040 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,919 Speaker 2: any day. 1041 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 3: Raiders have the Bills in Buffalo, an angry Buffalo Bills team, 1042 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 3: and then the Broncos will take on the Commanders, who 1043 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 3: have probably the best defensive line of football, and then 1044 00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 3: the Chiefs going now to Jacksonville. 1045 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: So uh, not an easy not an easy week for 1046 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: the AFC West. 1047 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 3: Uh, Buddy, this one one? Yeah, this was fun. We 1048 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 3: will uh, we will talk next week. Hopefully the Chargers 1049 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 3: will be one in one. 1050 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: Uh. Looking ahead to Minnesota for the great Matt Buddy Smith. 1051 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm Chris Heyrey. This has been Chargers Weekly, presented by 1052 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 1: Microsoft Service.
