They put up forty plus points, they put 88 00:04:46,239 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 4: up over three hundred yards, and on that game we 89 00:04:48,719 --> 00:04:51,558 Speaker 4: held them under forty points, under three hundred seven yards. 90 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:56,438 Speaker 4: We held them to the lowest scoring, averaging yards game 91 00:04:56,599 --> 00:04:59,199 Speaker 4: they had all season. So that just shows us that 92 00:04:59,438 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 4: when we do things that we're supposed to do when 93 00:05:01,558 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 4: out there playing together, look how great we can be. 94 00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,439 Speaker 4: So the world seeing it, we're seeing it, and we 95 00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:08,558 Speaker 4: got to keep on stack 'em. 96 00:05:08,599 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 7: On top of that, it's been a lot of time 97 00:05:10,318 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 7: about in the future too, and all that business kind 98 00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:14,638 Speaker 7: of give you home, like not hope because you know 99 00:05:14,678 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 7: what this team is capable of, but do you feel 100 00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:18,198 Speaker 7: like that's what's a good show and to be like, 101 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 7: this is what we're capable of, just imagine, you know, 102 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:22,879 Speaker 7: like what's happened. 103 00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:24,118 Speaker 3: As long as we. 104 00:05:24,119 --> 00:05:29,598 Speaker 4: Keep going, Yeah, I I believe we continue to build 105 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 4: off what we do last week. The great things and 106 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,158 Speaker 4: then just fixed one or two things here and there. Well, 107 00:05:35,239 --> 00:05:36,959 Speaker 4: in this game off the way we want to or 108 00:05:36,999 --> 00:05:38,038 Speaker 4: this season off we want to. 109 00:05:38,678 --> 00:05:41,518 Speaker 6: What's the difference you see in this Chargers offense compared 110 00:05:41,599 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 6: to the one you prepare for last year with some 111 00:05:44,318 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 6: person always different. 112 00:05:45,318 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 4: But just in terms of theirs, Yeah, this is a 113 00:05:48,719 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 4: different even though they're a passing team. 114 00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 3: They run the ball very well. 115 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: They have a lot of big bodies in there, forty 116 00:05:54,359 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 4: four forty two there, they're the tight ends or full backs. 117 00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:01,118 Speaker 4: They're strong, they're big, and they use their run game 118 00:06:01,239 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 4: to build their past game. So they're doing a great 119 00:06:03,958 --> 00:06:06,959 Speaker 4: job this year establishing the run game, establishing who they 120 00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:09,118 Speaker 4: are on offense to open up what they want to 121 00:06:09,159 --> 00:06:11,878 Speaker 4: do at the end of the game or later later on. 122 00:06:11,999 --> 00:06:14,438 Speaker 4: So they're doing a really good job. Herbert is moving 123 00:06:14,438 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 4: the ball well, So looking forward to a great challenge 124 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:19,319 Speaker 4: a full back the. 125 00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:22,079 Speaker 6: Size you know, the forty four's plays defense to kind 126 00:06:22,078 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 6: of like ball. 127 00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: The one uses your card. What kind of an asset 128 00:06:28,198 --> 00:06:29,958 Speaker 3: and staff for their office? How do they do the lozer? 129 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a big body three hundred pounds two 130 00:06:32,999 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 4: ninety whatever. He is going against linebackers and other dns, 131 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: it's it's a they use that as their advantage in 132 00:06:42,799 --> 00:06:45,718 Speaker 4: that power to create seams and gaps for their running 133 00:06:45,719 --> 00:06:49,319 Speaker 4: back can maneuver through and U we did the work 134 00:06:49,359 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 4: and see how loosive he is. But on the defensive side, 135 00:06:52,558 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 4: as long as we bring the punch to them, then 136 00:06:54,958 --> 00:06:55,678 Speaker 4: it's a different story. 137 00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,238 Speaker 3: It's bringing the punch to them. Is that the key 138 00:07:00,438 --> 00:07:02,838 Speaker 3: on the run defense? Where you think about the companies 139 00:07:02,958 --> 00:07:06,238 Speaker 3: in all running plays that we sell last week in a. 140 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,278 Speaker 4: Touchdown, that's the key on every difensive play is bringing 141 00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,999 Speaker 4: the punch to them. Definitely, my mind sets mostly on 142 00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:15,919 Speaker 4: the front seven, uh, bringing that punch to them, establishing 143 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:19,319 Speaker 4: our dominance, setting and resetting the line of scrimmage and 144 00:07:19,359 --> 00:07:22,279 Speaker 4: playing in the backfield. That's really the key that we 145 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,839 Speaker 4: always talk about every single week as a front seven 146 00:07:24,999 --> 00:07:26,719 Speaker 4: and definitely the D line. 147 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,358 Speaker 3: What do you think about the specific to the run game. 148 00:07:30,719 --> 00:07:33,159 Speaker 1: The coach may or what you just said earlier when 149 00:07:33,239 --> 00:07:35,279 Speaker 1: you wass in with us is they like to run 150 00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:39,919 Speaker 1: the ball and if they see what we did, any Patriots. 151 00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:42,039 Speaker 3: On the defense, you're gonna run it. Yeah. 152 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,399 Speaker 6: So what what do you see is they keep them. 153 00:07:45,078 --> 00:07:48,799 Speaker 4: Cleaning real quick this league is a copycat league, which 154 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:51,518 Speaker 4: means everybody does the same thing. So if I see 155 00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:55,639 Speaker 4: one team is having to struggle on certain plays, then 156 00:07:55,679 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 4: we're gonna do that certain places we see some teams 157 00:07:57,719 --> 00:08:00,239 Speaker 4: doing this, so everybody kind of like just watches other 158 00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:02,879 Speaker 4: people's games and then do the same thing. So there's 159 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 4: some things that we haven't stopped yet, so they're gonna 160 00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:09,719 Speaker 4: start to continue doing the same things. Our job was 161 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,838 Speaker 4: to shut it down early and make this team one dimensional. 162 00:08:13,958 --> 00:08:16,799 Speaker 3: I gotcha.
