Speaker 2: What do you think I mean? This thing is. Everything

00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 2: is hyped up to be walking here and you got

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: the bells, the whistles, the lighting is perfect, you got

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: the ghats on the wall, tomurrow, the bolt up sign

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: lit up. As you said, the little studio counts for

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: our guess that join us. This place is state of the

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: art and it's second to none.

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty sweet. They did it for you. You

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: mentioned the legends on the wall behind us, that the

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: people can't see, but I know there have been some

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: social media tours of this place Antonio Gates on their

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: congratulations to him again. Second year should have gone in

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: as the first ballot Hall of Famer. Ridiculous that he didn't.

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I would be absolutely floored if he does not go

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: in this year. But somebody that obviously you know very

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: well and very excited for him. So hopefully that all

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: gets put together.

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just honored that I got to play with

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: at least two of these guys on this war, Antonio Gates,

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers obviously obvious great leaders, awesome teammates and more

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: than anything straight baller is man. So it's an honor

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: and it's a pleasure to be able to share to

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: feel with those guys.

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: And I do just quickly as we hop in the

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: way back machine. Sure men, mister p abouty here, that's

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: any more dated reference. I'm happy that, like, because of

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: the Eli Manning debate and he is going to be

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: such a polarizing Hall of Fame candidate, that Philip Rivers

43
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: name is being brought back up, and there's a lot

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: of you know, circumstance, the defense that he played with

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: what Philip Rivers numbers are how he played. You think

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: about the championship game against the Patriots and how it

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: all just broke the wrong way injury wise for him,

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: and what we might be talking about it. I do

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: appreciate that people are celebrating Philip and the career that

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: he had.

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Philly Chies State, Philly Chies state, baby, nobody like him.

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: And now the Alabama High school circuit has to deal

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: with all right to current present day Chargers seven and

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: three in a very i would say comfortable position in

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: top wild card spot. The Chiefs and Bills tangle. The

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Bills do him a favor, give him a loss. So

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: maybe that doors cracked a little bit for the division.

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Now you feel better about it. But just let's begin

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: where it ended, and that is Sunday night and what

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: you saw against the Bengals start, which just kind of

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: give me your initial observations and what your initial takeaways were.

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: Well, they came out on fire, and when you watched

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: what they were doing offense and defensive wise. Obviously Jamar Chase.

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: When you look at Jamar Chase, he's the best receiver

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: in the league right now. And what they did with

66
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: him in the first half was really impressive. And then

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: how the offense came out striking on all celinders in

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: the first half was impressive. And obviously the second half,

69
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: you know, the Bengals, obviously they had Joe Burrow and

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase started getting hot, the defense started picking up

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: some keys what the offense was doing, and then that's

72
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: when you see the comebacks start to mount. But what

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: I will say is that was the most impressive about

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: that game is that the charges were up went into

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: halftime almost by eighteen eighteen points. The Bengals made a

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: run and they did not flinch at all. Right, So

77
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: at everything that we've seen, you could go excess, you

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: can go os. The thing that was the most important

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: to me was that the team did not flinch. That

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: shows the mentality, that shows the culture, that shows Jim

81
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: Harball all over this team. And back in the day,

82
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: you know how they say the Chargers would usually charge

83
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: and I used to hear that all the time, chargering. Yeah,

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: the chargers would charge. They're charging, right, And I heard

85
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: that growing up playing for this organization. So to see

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: them not chargering or chargering right on a national stage

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: two and the lights of the brightest and I can

88
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: tell you right now, being a former player playing on

89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: a national stage Sunday night, Monday night, you feel a

90
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: little bit different energy, right, So for those guys to

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: come out and walk away with the win and the

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: fascionate they did with forty five forty eight seconds left,

93
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: Herbert going down, driving down, and just a total complete victory,

94
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: total complete win from the game on Sunday night.

95
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: So still keep going with that, because, look, I've been

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: calling games for this team since twenty seventeen. It certainly

97
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: seemed like one of the bigger issues I think during

98
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's three year tenure was some of the worst

99
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: losses came in primetime, came in the playoff game, came

100
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday night against the Raiders, came against the Chiefs

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday at that overtime game where you have it

102
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: and it just kept slipping away how much? And there's

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on this team from that. Yeah,

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: I did the look, and we'll get into that. We'll

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: get into how coaching matters when you start going through

106
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: this roster and you see the way guys are playing

107
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: and who was here and who's been at it and

108
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. But is it in the

109
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: back of your mind do you have scar tissue as

110
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: a player when you have because you're on some of

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: those teams that have charged that you lost those games.

112
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Are you thinking about it on the sideline.

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: As I would say, Listen, if I wasn't with this

114
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: new staff and this harbor regimen, I would say.

115
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean during your time as a player.

116
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Right as not really, when you're in the middle of it,

117
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: all you're thinking is about, hey, look, you know what

118
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: we are, where we are at this point in the game.

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: We're trying to finish this game, and I believe that

120
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: we can finish, and I believe that we can win.

121
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: That was always my thought, right right. It was never

122
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: here we go again, or I can't speak for everybody, right,

123
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: I cannot speak for everybody honestly, but my perspective on

124
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: the game was, no, Jalil, you got to do your job.

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: You got a ball. If opportunity comes to you to

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: make a play to end this game or put us

127
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: in a position to end this game, you got to

128
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: do that. And it was never like here we go again,

129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 2: or oh oh, this is about to happen again and

130
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: we're about to it was never like that for me

131
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: money Sea.

132
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of players think that way.

133
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: It's too much going on at the time, so.

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: Assignment based, and it's so I got to make sure I,

135
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, do your job. I got to do my job.

136
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: And so I think that's maybe a disconnect from the

137
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: media and the fans that they assume that that's what

138
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: players are saying to themselves. Now I will say, I'm

139
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: not gonna name names, but there were a couple players

140
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: that did acknowledge that, and you know, I don't know

141
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: what that says about their mentality or their approach, but

142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: that's I just don't think it's common. Now that said,

143
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say, and it's I'm posing

144
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: this as a question to you, right, that when you

145
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: have a coaching staff like they have, when you have

146
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: the philosophy, the culture change, the belief that's been instilled

147
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: in you, I do I think you go into games

148
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: feeling different, right. I think this coaching staff has led

149
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: to a different sort of vibe going into the games

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: before it kicks off.

151
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Right, And even though it's the coaching staffs first year

152
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: with this articular roster, at the end of the day,

153
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: you look at Jim Harball and you say he's a winner.

154
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: He's done it at every level. So as a player,

155
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: you go into the game, not only has he prepared us,

156
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't physically mentally, we know that this man leading

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: us to battle has done it at every level. He's

158
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: done it at the Super Bowl, obviously he took a

159
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: loss to his brother, but he's played at the highest

160
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: of the highest and he's done it. So when you

161
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: have a captain, when you have a leader like coach

162
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: Harball is for these guys, obviously, they go into every

163
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: game feeling invincible, and they go into every game feeling like, listen,

164
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: we have a shot to win it.

165
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: So let's get to the nuts and bolts of this one.

166
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: You mentioned it kind of the overview. Obviously, Herbo's on

167
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: a heater. He and Greg Roman are just in sync

168
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: and they tearing that Bengals team apart. Everything's working big

169
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: time throws. We'll get into some of the stats that

170
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: have led to thankfully, more and more people starting to

171
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: talk about Justin Herbert in the MVP conversation because he's

172
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: throwing the ball better as good, if not better than

173
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: anybody in the league. Since the bye but I want

174
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to start with the secondary because I go through the

175
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: YouTube comments. I like to engage with the people that

176
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: engage with us, and obviously a lot of them are

177
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: what happened in the second half, what happened to this team.

178
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm tired of seeing it too, and I think their

179
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: scar tissue from years past, they believes to get going.

180
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: And when I went back and I looked through it

181
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and I watched, you know, all the plays and from

182
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, the all twenty two from the sideline or

183
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: from the end zone, it just kind of there's a

184
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: couple of things that jumped out of me. One injuries.

185
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton's one hundred percent, so he's out there. So

186
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: you start the game with Cam Hart playing bully ball

187
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: with Jamar Chase and the rest are letting it go,

188
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: and he's being physical and he's fighting him and he's

189
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: roughing them up a little bit and there's no flags.

190
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: You got Christian Fulton on the other side, he's playing well,

191
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: and you got John at the nickel and you see

192
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Tarheb kind of rotating a little bit. They were picking

193
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: on just here a little bit, and Tarheb comes in.

194
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Well about the second half, you got Tarheb on the outside,

195
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: just Cam's out.

196
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: With a concussion.

197
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: You got Fulton dealing with the handings, So now j

198
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: just sere is playing outside corner and they are starting

199
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: to pick on him, and you got Durwain playing nickel

200
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: right like, I think it's expected that, okay if you're

201
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: out there in the secondary, Julia like, what are how

202
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: hard is that? And now Fulton's back in, and now

203
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: jobs back to the nickel, and now tar Heeb's out

204
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: and now Durwin's back play. It just felt like, man,

205
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: these guys, they are asking so much of them in

206
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: so many different roles to try to slow down the

207
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: best passing attack in the league in.

208
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: The league, and basically some guys are playing out of position.

209
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: And that's just what happens with injuries, because now it's

210
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: a shuffling board and you gotta put guys at certain

211
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: positions that they probably wouldn't have played or have practiced

212
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: those reps in practice. A lot of times you want

213
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: to get so many reps that you can practice in

214
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: practice with a certain group. So you go into the

215
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: week practicing throughout the week with a certain group. You're

216
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: communicating with your buddy, you know, what he's thinking. I

217
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: know what you're thinking. And then you get into the game,

218
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: and then he'd the battle. Everything shuffled, right, So then

219
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: you have to think on the fly. You have to

220
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: try to communicate differently than you would with the guy

221
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: that you've been working all week with. So and listen,

222
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: when the end of the day, it's the second half

223
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: and this is the NFL, and coaches make adjustments. Jesse

224
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: did a great job. Still, the two of the touchdowns

225
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: that they scored, they were double covered, right. Jamar Chase

226
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: was covered double and he split the double right. So

227
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: you can't say, oh, well, what did they do different

228
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: in the second half. Look, the guy just made a play.

229
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: He's gonna make forty million dollars a year for a

230
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: certain reason, right, and he showed it. And I keep

231
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: going back to it.

232
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: Now.

233
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to harp on Okay, they came back

234
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 2: and they made it close. I want to harp on

235
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: the fact that, listen, even with the injuries, even with

236
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: them shuffling it around, playing against one of the best

237
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: one to two combos in the NFL, they still came

238
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: out with the victory. And when it was time to

239
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: make the play at the last minute, they Durham batted

240
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: it down for the hell Mary and they walked away

241
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: with the w That ball was.

242
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Into Higgins's hands main way, and there are not many.

243
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: He might be the best jump ball catcher in the league.

244
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you have you been

245
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: on a field with Tea before, Yeah, you have, so

246
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: you can speak to it. He is a huge human being. Yeah,

247
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: and he is a he's tall, he's athletic, and he's thick.

248
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: I would say he's similar to Mike Williams, yes, right,

249
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 2: similar to Mike Williams. Obviously Mike Williams is a little

250
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: bit heavier than Tea, but frame wise the way they

251
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: go up and get the ball. So the fact that

252
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: when was and Durwin wasn't even going forward, he was

253
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: almost going backwards when he jumped right, So the fact

254
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: that he made that play was even that much more impressive.

255
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna fall backwards in the end zone. I

256
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: was gonna and Derwin broke it up, and uh, you know,

257
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: it's perfect opportunity for us to get into this because

258
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: I love the postgame h message from coach Harbaugh, and specifically,

259
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, you can see it. If

260
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: you're just listening right now, I think you might be

261
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: able to pick up the audio. But if you're watching,

262
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: read Derwin's lips, and if you're listening, see if you

263
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: can pick it up. Get each other. So if I'm

264
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: as good at reading lips as I think I am, Jalil,

265
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: I feel like Derwin came up. He kind of like

266
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: you could see the emotion on his face, and he said,

267
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: I believe in you. We believe in you. And it's

268
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: just in that moment, moment, your emotions do the talking.

269
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: It's not calculated. You're not thinking, Hey what am I

270
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: going to say to coach.

271
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: It's almost like you're out of your You're out of

272
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: your body at that point.

273
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: And it's just, hey, this is my message to you.

274
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Like you just said, all of that defense was that

275
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: their best when when their best was needed. Offense was

276
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: at their best, when their best was needed special teams

277
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: best was were at their best on their and that's

278
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: and then Derwin immediately like a missile, just comes in

279
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: and embraces coach and and kind of gives him that message.

280
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Durwin's the alpha leader. That's the thing about it, right,

281
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: He's the off leader of this team, how this team goes,

282
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: especially how he goes as defense goes. And I told

283
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: you these guys going to the game, being around these

284
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: guys in training camp and the kind of culture and

285
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,119
Speaker 2: the kind of environment that Harbo hasn't started into this organization,

286
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: they go into the game believing, like, listen, we have

287
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: the best coach in the league. And not only do

288
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: we have the best coach in the league, we have

289
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: some of the best players in the league. So who

290
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: can stop us? Only ourselves? We can only hurt ourselves.

291
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's how you seeing them continue to play.

292
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: They're like, listen, if we play mistake free ball, we

293
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: buy into the scheme, we buy into the game plan,

294
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: and we go and execute at a high level. Nobody

295
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: can mess with us. And that's being shown right now

296
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: sitting at seven and three.

297
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other thing, you know, and whatever people

298
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: can paint it as, is a shill and apologetic. But again,

299
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity and you subscribe to NFL

300
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: Pro or whatever and you can watch the film, you'll

301
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: see it, like the defense is not busting coverages, they're

302
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: not missing assignments. Their pressure rate in this game was

303
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: almost fifty percent. Like, I'm gonna pull up the pressures

304
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: right now. Joey Bosa had eight pressures in this game.

305
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: Tully had eight pressures and one and a half sec.

306
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: They basically pressured Joe Burrow. As I pull up the

307
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: pass rushing stats.

308
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: Money, this is all without Khalil Mack.

309
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: All without Khalil Mack. Right, thirty seven pressures. Yeah, thirty

310
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: seven pressures. That's over fifty percent pressure rate on his dropbacks.

311
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about, Well, I don't know exactly.

312
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: You know, obviously some of them are two people pressuring

313
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, but I believe the pressure rate

314
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: was at like forty seven percent for this game. So

315
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: think about that. That's what Jesse Minner put together rarely blitzed,

316
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: and it was I'm in your and basically it's Joe Burrow.

317
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: It's Burrow just taking those couple steps up in the

318
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: pocket and finding two of the best receivers in the league.

319
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's elite. Joe Burrow's elite. And we always would

320
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: say the rush and cover work together. So if we're

321
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: lacking in the secondary because of injuries, then the rush

322
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: has to pick it up.

323
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: Right.

324
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: If the rush isn't getting home, then the defense has

325
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: to cover a little bit longer, and that's when you

326
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: hear the term cover sack. So we always as a defense,

327
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: our mindset was that the rush and cover work together

328
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: hand in hand. If one's down, the other picks it up.

329
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: If the secondary's up, we pick up the defense my

330
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: covering a little bit longer, giving them a little bit

331
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: exch more time to get home to the quarterback. And

332
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: that's what you're seeing. These guys are playing well. It's

333
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: like a weld order machine right now.

334
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Man, I think for the other thing that I'm going to,

335
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: uh if you whatever you want to call it, apologize for.

336
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: But oh, missfield goals, you got lucky and okay, yeah

337
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: they did. Yeah Evan McPherson's But guess what. Evan McPherson

338
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: came in thirteen to seventeen. He came in fifty percent

339
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: from beyond fifty yards. He is not having a good year.

340
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: So that's where I point out that from the Chargers

341
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: thirty on a th six, Burrow throws a dart to

342
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and bang tar Heeb still breaks it up.

343
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: Yep.

344
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: So instead of a first down, and you know, churning

345
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: more clock and getting closer for your kicker. He's now

346
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: got to attempt to forty eight yard er that he

347
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: missed the very next drive when they got into field

348
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: goal range at the Charger thirty three, that's when dayone.

349
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Henley timed that thing up perfectly, got into Burrow's lap,

350
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: forced the air and throw, and now he's got an

351
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: attempt from fifty one, like, and he missed it. So

352
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh, it was an easy chip shot,

353
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: and I know we expect that from Charger and Brandon

354
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: Aubrey's kicking from sixty four and Cameron Dicker's making fifty

355
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: nine and he's missed all to one field goals, so

356
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: fu yeah, Like those are the plays. I think that's

357
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: what led to the SoundBite you just heard from coach

358
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Defense played their best when their

359
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: best was needed on those third down plays.

360
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a game of inches, like if they

361
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: convert that and then the field goal is even easier

362
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: for McPherson to make, right, So every little thing matters.

363
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: And I remember there was a term speaking of Phil.

364
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: We would always be in the weight room and he

365
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: would tell us before we broke down our weight, we

366
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: broke it down and we got into lifting. He said,

367
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: everything matters. How you wreck your weights matter, how you

368
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: set your bar matters, how you tell your shoes matter.

369
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: And they say the same thing here. Everything matters. When

370
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: you're lined up running sprints, your foots needs to be

371
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: behind the white line. Right when you're out there on

372
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: the field, your shirt needs to be tucked in. Lose

373
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: no lose shirts. We want to look like a team.

374
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: So everything matters. Right if you don't if Tarki doesn't

375
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: break up that pass, if Haley doesn't get in and

376
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: knock off Burrow to knock off his time, and now

377
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: we're looking at a more makeable field gold and it

378
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: could be a different story. So I think the culture,

379
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: once again, I keep going back to the culture. I

380
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: keep going back to what these guys believe in. Not

381
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: only do they believe it, not only are they saying it,

382
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: they're putting that on the field.

383
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you know one of the things

384
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: that in training camp and in the hiring process when

385
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Harbaugh was hired and when he brought in Greg Roman,

386
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of the dialogue surrounded you're going to

387
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: take away your superpower of Justin Herbert. This isn't this

388
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: isn't Colin Kaepernick, this isn't Alex Smith, this isn't JJ McCarthy.

389
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: You know, lean into it. And the one thing that

390
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: I brought up that I had heard, you know, at

391
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: the combine and having done the combine for twelve thirteen

392
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: years now, the people that I kind of know and

393
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: I was trying to get a read on the quarterbacks, like,

394
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: give me what you read on on McCarthy, and pretty

395
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: much everybody said the same thing. They were like, there's

396
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: not a lot of production, and that makes you nervous.

397
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: But you can see in certain games when they're in

398
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: the balance multiple times when basically he's released, he's freed,

399
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: the chains come off and he says to JJ, go win.

400
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: It's the game. And that's which he's like, that's where

401
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you buy in because every time it was asked of him,

402
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: he delivered. And so that's what it felt like in

403
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: this game. It's that you know, look, Herbo's been out

404
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: of control. He's been the best quarterback in the league

405
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: since Week seven, but it felt like that last drive, like, hey,

406
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: we're not gonna milk clock man, We're not going to

407
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: have Cam attempt a fifty five yard and if it

408
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: doesn't go through, we're at home. It's overtime. Let's lean

409
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: into the that it was.

410
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: We're going forward.

411
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: It's your time, man, it's your time. Justin go win

412
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: the game.

413
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: And that's what was so awesome to see because not

414
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: only did he do it, he got to do it

415
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: on a national stage, and a lot of times people

416
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: don't give Justin Herbert his flowers for whatever reason, but

417
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: now they have to start picking those things off and

418
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: giving it to him, right because he's playing at such

419
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: a high level, and not is when you're playing at

420
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: a high level. He's playing at a high level when

421
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: most people might shield up and tank because of the pressure.

422
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: Right forty eight seconds, so many yards ago, and you

423
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 2: hit lad, you're balling, you're dealing, you're willing, you're dicing,

424
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: you're moving your feet, you're running, you're picking up yards,

425
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: and you need to he's playing free. And earlier on

426
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: in the season, it was a lot of talk about

427
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: g row and Herbert and his numbers and his stats,

428
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: and obviously being in this kind of market la everyone

429
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: wants to see the big flash and we want to

430
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: see the bells and the whistles, and all gro did,

431
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: all Herbert did, all gim did was keeping in house

432
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: work on what they needed to work on. And now

433
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: we're seeing it grow into something beautiful and I hope

434
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: to see it continue to continue to grow as we

435
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: go down this stretch.

436
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's look, it's a planner injury for three weeks

437
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: of training camp with you know, Lad McConkie and DJ

438
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: Shark and Will Disley and Hayden Hurst and all these

439
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: new pieces that you don't get to work and running

440
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: backs so you don't get to work with. We know

441
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: how much you love throwing to Austin Ecklers, and now

442
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: you're trying to develop that relationship with Dobbins you can't.

443
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: And then in week two it's a gnarly high ankle

444
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: stranger that you're dealing with. And now that all of

445
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: that is in the past, you're back to seeing you know,

446
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: super Justin and and like you said, it's great. And

447
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: the thing about him is he always plays well in primetime.

448
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: You know, he loves it, just like Lamar loves it.

449
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: And we'll get into that. Lamar is a heck of

450
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: a primetime quarterback, which is going to make this Monday

451
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: night a really special But do you want to point

452
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: out on those plays right twenty seven I think it's

453
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards and twenty seven yards. So those are

454
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: what are considered big time rows, explosive places. It's something

455
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: that PFF keeps track of. They call them basically, they

456
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: call them btt's big time throws. Since week seven, Justin

457
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Herbert has got seventeen big time.

458
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Throws number one right now.

459
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: And two turnover worthy plays. So they don't like their

460
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: thing is, it's not the interceptions can be lucky. You

461
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: can have an interception lucky my t to dB to drop.

462
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: To think about Mike Hilton in that game where he

463
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: jumped it probably should have had to pick six, but

464
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: he didn't. So that's a turnover worthy play. And he

465
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: had one other one since week seven to go seventeen

466
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: to two big time throw because it's and the point

467
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: of that is, you're not dinking and duncan, you're not

468
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: throwing sick. You are putting the ball in danger.

469
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's number one in the NFL with passes over

470
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: twenty yards. Right, and his completion rates versus his turnover

471
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: rate is what's so important, what's so impressive, Right, he's

472
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: taking care of the ball right at a high rate,

473
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: and he's not even and like you said, he's not

474
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: dinking it a lot of times when you watch Brady.

475
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: When Brady was coming up, if it wasn't if it

476
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: wasn't there, he was just check down, check down, check down.

477
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: Justin is letting this thing rip. Yeah, right, And I'm

478
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: not comparing Justin to Brady, but I'm just letting you

479
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: know that this guy is a young kid that is

480
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: a baller. It's twenty six. He's a young kid, and

481
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: we need to start giving him his respect. National media

482
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: needs to start giving him his respect. And I'm excited

483
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: to see him play on that.

484
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: Yet's it's the it's the Greg Roman offense. And you're

485
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: gonna put handcuffs on Herbert. Why would you do that?

486
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: It's his it's his largest average at average depth of

487
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: target that he's had in his career. So yes, Greg

488
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: Romans here. But and here's the other thing that that

489
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: I'll point out for for all of for keeping receipts

490
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: and pointing out how and I say this repeatedly because

491
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: I think it's important to remind yourself they drafted Joe

492
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: Walt for a reason. At the trade deadline. No offensive

493
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: tackles moved for a reason. Who moved? DeVante Adams, Amari Cooper,

494
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Wide receivers move. So this is justin Herbert doing this

495
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: with that offensive line and Joe Walt, who was the

496
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: highest graded tackle not rookie, highest graded tackle in the

497
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: game last week in a game in week eleven, Joe

498
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: Walt and the key there is Herbert's number in a

499
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: clean pocket are absurd. He's basically number one in the

500
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: league or tied for number one in everything, in everything

501
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: if there's no pressure. So it's clear that Joe Ortiz

502
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbond, all these people knew that. It's like,

503
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: give him a line. You get this guy. Time it's over,

504
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: you're done. So draft the tackle and it'll be mconkey

505
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: and Quinton and Josh Palmer and they'll be fine.

506
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 2: Control all delete is what they call him, Control all Delete,

507
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: and he's doing that. He's deleting the best team's pass

508
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: rusher week in and week out. And I remember after

509
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: the draft there was so much buzz keenan Allen's gone,

510
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: like William's gone. Neighbors are sitting in there. Why wouldn't

511
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: you go neighbors, and then they go left tackle out

512
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: of Notre Dame Big Joe All, and everyone's like, yeah,

513
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: he's a really good play, but what Herbert needs weapons? Right,

514
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: And then All is doing this thing all season. Earlier

515
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: on in the season, there's not much chemistry with the

516
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: wide receivers and then here goes ok, here it goes again, Well,

517
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: we should have drafted a wide or they should go

518
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: get one at trade deadline. And ever since that, ever

519
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: since trade deadline, ish about a week or two before that,

520
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: this and these receivers must have heard what people were saying.

521
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: They must have heard the doubters, the naysayers, and they've

522
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: stepped up. Ladd Q has stepped up, Disley has stepped up.

523
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: And it's as being a former player, right, you don't

524
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: want to ever hear about the negatives, but it's in

525
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: your lap. You hear what people say, you hear what kennedy.

526
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: You can't avoid it. Right. So this is the most

527
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: competitive league, most competitive job in America. So if I'm

528
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: hearing people tell me that we're not doing good as

529
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: a group, I'm taking that personal and that brings out

530
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: the competitiveness in me. So I think that's a lot

531
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: to do with what these receivers have done. They've said,

532
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna take that negativity. We're gonna

533
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: let it fuel us, and we're gonna show these guys.

534
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: We're gonna show the country, We're gonna show this the media.

535
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna show ourselves most importantly, that we're worthy of this,

536
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: of this job, and we can get it done with

537
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert.

538
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: And again, if you're watching it, you're gonna see it

539
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: right now. If you're listening, hopefully I can do it

540
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: justice to describe. But Lad McConkey is in the conversation

541
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: as the best receiver, best rookie receiver in the league

542
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: with what he's doing right now. So just kind of

543
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: I think he was the ninth one ninth. I think

544
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: it was a ninth one taken if I remember right,

545
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: because you got worthy leg get in front of him.

546
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: Obviously the big three that went early in Harrison, Neighbors

547
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: and a Dune say maybe a seventh. I think it

548
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: was seventh. So as you watch these plays one like,

549
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: that's what's great about these back to back plays that

550
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: put them in position to win the game on the

551
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: JK touchdown first one, right, sideline. He and Herbert are like,

552
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: hey man, Hilton jumped it last time. Get him to

553
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: bite and then I'm gonna throw the out and up.

554
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: And if you aren't a good route runner, if you

555
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: can't sell that, Hilton's not biting right. So that's what

556
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: you just saw, Like he sells it and then he's

557
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: got to get up, contort his body and secure the cat.

558
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing that's most impressive to me about Ladd

559
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: because a lot of people think he's just quick, shifty

560
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: slot guy, route option routes, slants direct. He goes up

561
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: against the ball. He did it against the Raiders and

562
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: he did against the Bengals at the times that was

563
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: needed the most. He went up, high pointed, torked, his body,

564
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 2: shows really good body control, and then he has a

565
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: speed to pull away. Like this kid's so impressive. Obviously,

566
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: my brother Coast had I remember watching him in Georgia

567
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: and I didn't know that it was going to transfer

568
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: over to the NFL this quickly. I knew he was

569
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: a good player. I didn't know how long it would take,

570
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 2: but it's it's transferred over really fast. He's humble, he's

571
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: he's respective, he's respectful, excuse me. And he's just a

572
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: kid that you pull for man undersized most people say

573
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: he's unersize and height and wait and all he does

574
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: eats in every Sunday and hopefully Monday nights. Go out

575
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: there and ball out.

576
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as you you know, so that's this is

577
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: what's great about lad is oh slot guy, quick, shifty

578
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: and so this basically the game winning play, the game

579
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: winning throw that puts you into very comfortable Cameron dickerfield

580
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: goal range that then leads to the JK as you watch,

581
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: like look at the separation. Just look at this separation.

582
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, as you're watching, keep an eye

583
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: on Herbert and and what's happening to him. Because Hendrickson

584
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: is in his lap. He knows he's going to take

585
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: a shot. He takes a shot to the head, by

586
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: the way, and there's no flag, which there should have been,

587
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: but that's Herbert throwing just arm. There's no legs into

588
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: it because Hendrickson's lap. He takes a shot to the head,

589
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: but he throws it because of Ladd McConkie's separation, because

590
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: of how quickly he shakes his defender gives him a massive,

591
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: wide open target and The other key with that play

592
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: is like it's there's a reason why they say it's

593
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: a game of inches, right. So Herbert hits McConkey in stride,

594
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: he runs out of bounds. They have one time out left.

595
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: If they don't have that time out, they're not running JK.

596
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: Dobbins exactly.

597
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: So it all so it's Herbert's willingness to stand and

598
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: take the shot from Hendrickson, deliver the ball on time,

599
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: McConkie's ability to shake his defender and get wide open

600
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: sprint to the sideline to stop the clock. You keep

601
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: your time out, and you get to go into a

602
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: huddle and say, let's go win the game. Man, to

603
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: hell with this, let's go win the game.

604
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: I agree with you. What's even more impressive if you

605
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: look at the play, lads lineup at I think number one,

606
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 2: and he motions down to create a stack between the

607
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: three and two where I receiver combo right, So hats

608
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: off the gym, hats off the g row. They didn't

609
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: line up an They motioned him so he couldn't get pressed,

610
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: and then he runs. They called it a seventy seven

611
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: high two seven routes. Palmer ran the low one ladder

612
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: in the high one and there you have it. The

613
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: low defender broke on the low one and that was open.

614
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: So it was a really good play draw by Giro

615
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: and Jim harbough Man. You got to give him credit

616
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: in the time like that when listen, this next play

617
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: has to be your best play in that roll of

618
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: decks of playbooks that you have, and they brought it out.

619
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll tell you it just to kind of

620
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: put a cap on it. I think that you saw

621
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the day, right, you have Justin Tucker missing

622
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: field goals cost the Ravens the game. You have Cairo

623
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Santos get a field goal block cost him the game

624
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Bears against Packers the week before. You have Forsyth get

625
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: bowled over. Block field goal from the Broncos cost him

626
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: the game, and who knows down the line could end

627
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: up costing them a playoff spot. Potentially, the Chargers have

628
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: the best kicker in the game, could have just hey man,

629
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: where do you want to cam? It's gonna be a

630
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: you know, thirty or forty three yarder. They could have

631
00:27:59,240 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: done that.

632
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: Run the clock, That's what I thought they were doing.

633
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: Right, And instead, let's let's see if we can pop

634
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: one and credit to the Running Game, because you know

635
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: it was hard for JK to come by yards in

636
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: that game. And you wear them down, man, and as

637
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: you wear teams down, you get to impose your will.

638
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: That's what they did. There were so many good blocks

639
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: on that Mattlock has a block, I thought, if I

640
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: remember right, and I think Tray was the polar. I

641
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: think Trey was the polar and had a great seal

642
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: on the kickout, and it's just it's got to be

643
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 1: fun to have all eleven pieces kind of come together

644
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: working together to have a play like that to seal it.

645
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you compare it to a heavyweight fight,

646
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: and all day long in that fight, for twelve rounds,

647
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: you're going at the body, and you're going at the body,

648
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: and he's not falling, he won't get knocked down. And

649
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: then in the last last round, last twelve rounds, last minute,

650
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: maybe in the twelfth round, body shot, body shot, you

651
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: fake it to the body and you go to the

652
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: head and you knock down the giant. And that's what

653
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: they did all game long. That, like you said, the

654
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: Running Game wasn't really there early on. For the most

655
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: of the game. There was two yards in a cot

656
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: of dust. Right, they kept fighting, they didn't go away

657
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: with it. They believe in their run game, they believe

658
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: in their offensive line. And then we've seen him break

659
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: at the end in the twelfth round. Man, it was

660
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: awesome to see.

661
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Well, Joe Alt a big reason why it happened, comes

662
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: out with an eighty point eight grade in forty seven

663
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: pass blocks, gives up just a single pressure in that contest.

664
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: So let's get the Joe. So Joe, let's coming off

665
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Certainly go back look at the film. Heck

666
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: of a game for you. The offensive line kind of

667
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: walk us through because there was much made about what

668
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: this matchup was gonna be. Do you guys come out ahead?

669
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: What was it like getting in there and getting out

670
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: of there with a win?

671
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

672
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: No, I mean it feels amazing obviously coming into any

673
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 4: game and coming out the win as the goal and

674
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: being able to, you know, play like we.

675
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: Did as an offensive line.

676
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: We're just we're just trying to continue to stack each

677
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 4: and every week and just get a little bit better

678
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 4: as a whole group, working on things from the previous

679
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: week to improve on. I feel like we took a

680
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: step this past week and I was read to see

681
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: in the film.

682
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: Hey Joe, I keep watching your tape and I watch

683
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: you on Sundays, and you're doing a heck of a job. Man.

684
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: I got to give your roses early as a rookie. Man,

685
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: thank you. But I just want to I just want

686
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: to say, like coming in with a guy like Slater,

687
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: me and Money touched on it. And when I came in,

688
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: I got to be mentored by a guy by the

689
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: name of Eric Wetto and at the time Pro Bowl

690
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: All Pro. How much and how impactful as a young

691
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: rookie does it help your game on and off the

692
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: field and teach you to be a pro When you

693
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: have a guy like Slater you can learn from.

694
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Slater's been the biggest help for me.

695
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 4: It's just from practice to watching a rep or you know,

696
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: from a game or whatever it is, watching film. He

697
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: just he's been through it and he knows the game.

698
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 4: It's just high level. He plays a game such a

699
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 4: high level. He's like one of the best in the league.

700
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: So being able to bounce questions off of ask him,

701
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 4: you know, watch things with him, work with them after practice.

702
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 4: He just knows so much and such such a huge

703
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: help for me. It's been great, you know, being able

704
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: to build that relationship both on and off the field.

705
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: He's been a huge help.

706
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: It's a big deal made about, you know, flipping you

707
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: to the right side and what that transition was going

708
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: to be. Like, Like, where are you at now through ten games?

709
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: Is the right tackle versus where you felt you were

710
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: in week one?

711
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, you know, every single time I get in

712
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 4: that stance, it's just a little bit better. It just

713
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: continues to work. It's definitely not where I obviously wanted

714
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 4: to be. I'm always tasing perfection and that just it's

715
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: not there yet, but just continuing to try to improve

716
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 4: each and every week. But it feels obviously much more comfortable,

717
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, being this many games, in this many practices

718
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: sets in.

719
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: It's it's getting that for sure.

720
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: You keep saying you want to keep improving, you want

721
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: your perfectionists.

722
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: Right.

723
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: So, coming into training camp being a high draft pick

724
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: and being able to go against Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa,

725
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: Toolly and Bud just speak to the people a little

726
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: bit about how much taking those reps THO was one

727
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: on one reps. I mean because on Sundays you're not

728
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: playing many guys that are better than these guys you

729
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: get to see in training camp and practice. Man speak

730
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: a little bit about that was.

731
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: It was like the perfect welcome to the NFL moment,

732
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: being able to go up against those guys every single day, because,

733
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: like you said, they're the best, some of the best

734
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: in the league. So being able to take those reps

735
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 4: early and have it being a practice setting and really

736
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: just being able to all, right, you know this didn't

737
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: go well. Why didn't it go well? And it's against

738
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: some of the best. So being able to improve against

739
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: the best just allows you to grow as a player

740
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 4: and as a person, and also you know, allows you

741
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: to build that mental you know strength to be like, hey,

742
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 4: I got beat today his training camp. Obviously not where

743
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 4: I want to be, but just being able to continue

744
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: to grind and then you start to you know, see

745
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: things like oh that did work today, and now how

746
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: do I just keep improving?

747
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: That?

748
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: It was It was huge and they were so helpful

749
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: to me, even though like you know, Pou's practice, I

750
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: open's like what did you see or why did you

751
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: you know, why did you use that move? And they

752
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 4: would tell me things I just can could always just

753
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 4: you know, tinker with my set, tinker with my hands,

754
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: whatever it was, to just try to keep getting little

755
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: bit better every single day through training camp.

756
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: Do you mind uh take? Because they're different, they're all different. Like,

757
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: can you, as someone who has to go against him

758
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: in practice, if we just kind of give you each

759
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: of them, how would you go? How would you describe

760
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: how they attack you? You know, bud Tu Lee, Joey

761
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: and yeah.

762
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 4: I would say, you know Khalil, it's it's speed to power,

763
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: and that's where you got to be, you know, most

764
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: most on your game. For he's got the speed of

765
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 4: beach on the edge, he's got the ability to go underneath.

766
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: But you know, when he goes to that speed of power,

767
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 4: you have to make sure you're fear in the ground,

768
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: you're ready to strike because there's power behind that. It's

769
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: if you're not ready, it's gonna you know, it's gonna

770
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: hit you hard. So that's the biggest thing I think

771
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: with with Joey's being able to understand that he has

772
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 4: ability to move latterly so well inside and outside, and

773
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: when he gets on your body, he can make moves

774
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: in really tight spaces.

775
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: You have to be able to, you.

776
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: Know, keep your hands out there and he's going to

777
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 4: take them, and being able to not be so you know,

778
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 4: forward heavy, know that you can replace your hands, but

779
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: it's it's speed off the ball. He has one of

780
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: the better get offs that I've seen, and being able to,

781
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: you know, really be focused in your set, being on

782
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: that snapcount getting off because if you're not off, he's

783
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 4: on that corner before you know it. So and then

784
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: with Tully it's the ability to have that power. But

785
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: then he doesn't only use power. He has the ability,

786
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 4: like I said, to spin, to hit the edge with things,

787
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: and then his motor he continues to rush and you're

788
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: not just gonna you know, get your hands on it

789
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: and stop. He's going to continue to work. So it's

790
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: a it's a battle that ball is gone for sure.

791
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: Talking about the tackle position with Money, I always say

792
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: like as a defensive player of the tackle position is

793
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: similar to be in the corner, right, one of the toughest,

794
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: if not the toughest position in the NFL. You're going

795
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: against physical guys, athletic guys, and they can use any

796
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: kind of move on you, and you're on an edge, right,

797
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: So a lot of times it's one on one. Right,

798
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: you talked about speed to power, and a lot of

799
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: times tackles who are a little bit shorter have a

800
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: little more center of gravity and be able to take

801
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: on speed to power a little bit more. You're a

802
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: guy six ' eight, how do you stay ready for

803
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: the outside speed move? But also they can hit you

804
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: with outside they hit you it under. But if they

805
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 2: hit you with the speed to power while you're on

806
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: your heels, how do you anchor down?

807
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was probably the biggest thing that Rashaan taught me,

808
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 4: and it was a lot to do with, you know,

809
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 4: the ability to refit your hands and really use your

810
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 4: lower half to get it into the block once you know,

811
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: once they've committed to it. You can never commit to

812
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: early because that's when you see you guys kind of

813
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: get froze. They drop their center of gravity. Then a

814
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 4: guy hits them on the edge, so you really have

815
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 4: to almost you know, strike them, let them set it,

816
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 4: and then it's all about how you can refit your hands,

817
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: how you can bring your hips into the block. And

818
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 4: that's really you know, some of that Slater taught me

819
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: that I'd never been coached before. You know, I've had

820
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 4: a lot of coaches in college, my dad, you know,

821
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 4: a lot of things. And Slater was like, try this out,

822
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 4: and I tried it and it was just it's been

823
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: a you know, a huge help for me so far

824
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: this season though.

825
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Speaking of U Slay, I got to give credit to

826
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: to DJ Daniel Jeremiah who does the games with me,

827
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: and he pointed out two plays in the Tennessee game,

828
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: and they're two ridiculous plays. One from you, one from Rashawan.

829
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: You smile on it, but you know where I'm going.

830
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: The fourth down run. I have no idea how Rashaun

831
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: got inside to seal that block. I mean, he's was

832
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: it Landry? I think there was two steps inside of him. Yep,

833
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: and then yours. You're on the ground like you, I

834
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: don't know if you slipper, what's going? Yeah, you are

835
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: still engaged and you make it back up as engaged.

836
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: Like take us through those two plays because people aren't

837
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna watch offensive line play on field. Man, it was

838
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: fun to watch both those.

839
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: No, I'll start with Rashawn's.

840
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: You know, watching him be able to do that, and

841
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 4: it's it's almost hard to watch him do it because

842
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: you're like, I don't know if I can replicate that

843
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 4: in game like that. I just don't have that ability.

844
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 4: So it's like, all right, what can I take from

845
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 4: it that he did well here that I can replicate

846
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 4: to my my game? All right, getting off on the

847
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: snap count, having efficient full work, being able to use

848
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: your body and get in position with your hands. So

849
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: like can't really replicate for Sean how he did it,

850
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: but it's like, all right, what can I take from

851
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 4: it and try to like add to my game. That's

852
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: really why I watched that mine, you know, to be

853
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 4: completely honest, it's kind of one of those panic moments.

854
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 4: You're like, I'm on the ground. This is not you know,

855
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 4: we're running this ball down hill right behind me, Like

856
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 4: I gotta get up and go. So yeah, it was

857
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 4: one of those things where you know, I doun to

858
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: a knee and I knew I how to get back

859
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: up and just if I get any vertical push or

860
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 4: just allow you know, just maybe that that one extra

861
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 4: cut or that one extra you know step to get

862
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: so just get those extra yards.

863
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: So that was kind of what I was thinking on

864
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 3: that play.

865
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: I know you you know you're you're a humble guy.

866
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to get you to pack yourself

867
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: on the back, But what did your coaches say when

868
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: you get back, because I would assume that's a big

869
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: hey man, this guy wants it. This guy that's That's

870
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of what it reads to me.

871
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it always starts off with the negative, like, yeah,

872
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 4: you don't want to be on the ground. You want

873
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: to stay on your feet for sure, and you know,

874
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: have efficient for work and not get yourself in that position.

875
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 4: But then it's like, hey, you know you're you know,

876
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: good job, you know, continue to fight through the block,

877
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 4: allowing that play to continue and not you know, giving

878
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 4: up and making a pile on the ground where you

879
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 4: know other guys can follow you guys and get hurt,

880
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 4: et cetera.

881
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 3: So they were they were happy with.

882
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: That, Joe, I just have to ask, coming in as

883
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: a rookie and being able to block for a guy

884
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 2: like Justin Herbert and having the success that you've had

885
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: so far, what can you really credit to your game?

886
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: Is it?

887
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 2: Is it film? Is it extra work in the weight room?

888
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: Does it work after practice? What has allowed you to

889
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: be so successful at a high rate? Control all delete baby?

890
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: What has allowed the control delete to be in effect.

891
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, I think it always starts me in the

892
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 4: film room. I think that's where I get my my

893
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 4: confidence being able to you know, I put myself in

894
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 4: the tackles position that I'm watching on the field, if

895
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 4: it's me or if it's you know, a different opponent

896
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 4: who they're playing, who are gonna play that week, and

897
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 4: just kind of being able to see what they see

898
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 4: pre snap, you know, into the rush, what are they

899
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 4: what does that guy's you know go to. Okay, if

900
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna set him like this, he's gonna do this,

901
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: and just kind of getting a feel so you have

902
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: that confidence going into the game like all right, I

903
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 4: never know what you're they're gonna do, but you have

904
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: an expectation where Okay, if I said them like this,

905
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: I should expect power or if you know, if I

906
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 4: get leany, he's gonna hit an inside move stuff like that.

907
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: So that's where it all kind of starts.

908
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: And then you know, me and Rashaan are big about

909
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: you know, watching the film on Mondays and Tuesdays and

910
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 4: then when it hits you know, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday practices,

911
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 4: that's all right, what moves am I gonna see the

912
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 4: most this week? What moves have I not seen the

913
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: previous weeks that I want to just get a couple

914
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 4: of ex reps at And you know, me and Rashaan

915
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 4: are the best you know d Edge, you know, giving

916
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: look giving look guys, but we give it to each

917
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 4: other just so you get that confidence of you know,

918
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: feeling it out and be like, Okay, I when you

919
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: get into the game, I've seen this or I've seen

920
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 4: this or I've felt this. I think that's been the

921
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 4: biggest thing for me. And then just continue to take

922
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 4: one thing every week. For me, it's one thing to pass,

923
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 4: one thing the run is what have I got to

924
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: improve on this week? And I think that's been.

925
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: You know, huge for me.

926
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: Just to continue to try to make you know, little

927
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 4: steps each and every week.

928
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: One thing to get the two big pass plays to

929
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: with forty five seconds left in that game. But when

930
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: you're in Cam Dicker field goal range, feel pretty good

931
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: about where the game's going. What what's Joe Alt thinking

932
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: When you're in the huddle and you hear power called

933
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: and you know that that play is coming and where

934
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: it might go.

935
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 4: Well, I just saw JK run over to the sideline

936
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: come back and I was figuring, we're, you know, figure

937
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 4: out something with like, hey, are we going to get down?

938
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 3: We gonna go score.

939
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 4: Whatever, and he's like, we're going for and I'm like,

940
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: all right, So we get into power and I there

941
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 4: was a look in that huddle where it's like, all right,

942
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: it's time to you know, close this game out. We're

943
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 4: in We're in the position, and I think everybody kind

944
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 4: of felt that and it ended up clicking for all

945
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: of us and making that big play hit and just

946
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 4: celebrating on you know, power to win the game and

947
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: that kind of a game is so cool and touch

948
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 4: a fun experience for the entire group, and being able

949
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: to finish in the end zone is you know, the

950
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 4: best feeling.

951
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: So it was a great, great experience for us.

952
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 2: You mentioned and for a long time around here Wave

953
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 2: you probably were in diavers at the time. But there's

954
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: a term saying that the chargers charger. They're charging, right,

955
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: they have leads, they're winning, and then they lose at

956
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: as a crazy fashion, maybe a block kick, maybe a

957
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: missfield goal. And that has shifted right now. Right this

958
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: this season has been totally different. Can you I was

959
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: talking to Money about it, And I don't know if

960
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: it's Jim Harball, it's the coaching staff, or if it's

961
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: just the players and the leaders saying, you know what,

962
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: we're gonna change that narrative and we're gonna go out

963
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: there every Sunday and we're gonna believe that we can

964
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: get this done no matter what it is. What has

965
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: been the shift in the culture here when you when you.

966
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 4: Think about it, I think definitely coaching staff is, you know,

967
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: one of the most important things. I think you know,

968
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 4: a lot of us guys in training camp didn't love it,

969
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 4: but we'd finish.

970
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 3: Our pressure with the fourth quarter finished.

971
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 4: I remember I was there, yeah, and it was like,

972
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 4: that's the last thing you want to do after a hot, sweaty,

973
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: you know, practice. But it puts you in that mindset like, hey,

974
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a hot, sweaty game and you're gonna

975
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 4: get down to like just like this last week's game,

976
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 4: and like both teams are tired, both teams want to win.

977
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: It's right there, and it's you know, who wants it more.

978
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: And I think there's definitely some do a test to that, Hey,

979
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: we pushed ourselves past that point of just finishing practice

980
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 4: there's that extra little bump, and I think just that

981
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 4: mindset from that and the coaching staff, and we've kind

982
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 4: of taken that on now as a team and it's

983
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 4: you know, when it gets to the fourth quarter, that's

984
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 4: our time. We're gonna do whatever it takes to you know,

985
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 4: come out with that win.

986
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: What you mentioned, you guys kind of watch Monday Tuesday.

987
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you want to share, but

988
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of a lot of meat

989
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: up front on this Baltimore defense. Like, what what do

990
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: you see from from these guys?

991
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're exactly right.

992
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 4: There's a it's a great you know, front seven got

993
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 4: a lot of ability to stop the run, big guys inside,

994
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 4: skill on the outside in the past. So it's really

995
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 4: gonna be a full you know, offensive line effort to

996
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 4: allow the run game to go, all the pass game

997
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 4: to go. You know, we gotta be able to protect

998
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 4: but also be able to run the ball efficiently. So

999
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for us is just really

1000
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 4: you know, continue to take those steps. And this is

1001
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 4: a big challenge for us as a group. We got

1002
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 4: bigger guys inside and being able to take what we've

1003
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: been improving on and now really put it to the test.

1004
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 4: This week will be a big, you know, exciting thing

1005
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 4: for us.

1006
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: So you talked about the fourth quarter, and for the

1007
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: people back at home, I don't think they really they

1008
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: might have went over the head right, And a lot

1009
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: of teams playing my nineties in the NFL, I've never

1010
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: done it, witnessed it this year. The coaching staff doing

1011
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 2: the build walls internship. Can you explain to the audience

1012
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: at home exactly what her put you guys through and

1013
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 2: what the fourth quarter is.

1014
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, at the end of practice we'd

1015
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 4: be finishing up. We don't have our last little you know,

1016
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: team team breakdown. We get out and with you know,

1017
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 4: most teams or the teams I've been on, you had

1018
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 4: to locker room and we would head over to near

1019
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: the weight room and it'd be a variety of things

1020
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: to be planks, push ups. We have these things called

1021
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 4: flip sleds. We'd flip those. It'd be you know, bear crawls,

1022
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: all sorts of things. And it was thing is just

1023
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 4: to you know, when you're tired, when you're fatigued, to

1024
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 4: push your body, but more so push your mind to

1025
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 4: complete a task. When you're tired and when you don't

1026
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: want to go further. And I think we all just

1027
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 4: slowly kind of built through as we gone. They got

1028
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: harder as we went, but we were able just.

1029
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 3: To continue to push.

1030
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 4: And I think it really built up that, you know,

1031
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 4: even when we're tired, even more fatigued, we got to

1032
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 4: push through just wherever whatever that may be.

1033
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: Even we You know, people like skill players, they like

1034
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: statistics and stuff, but the numbers are there, like you

1035
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: could make You can make a case with numbers of

1036
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: how well Justin throws the ball when he's not pressure.

1037
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: He's a number one quarterback in the league's number quarterback

1038
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: in league against Blitz. If the pressure doesn't come, you've

1039
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: been if you pay attention PFF grades. I know people

1040
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: don't really get crazy about him, but Joe Walt's pictures

1041
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: popped up a number of weeks. Is the best graded

1042
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: tackle a the best certainly the best rookie tackle. Any

1043
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: thoughts You got a marketing person that can like start

1044
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: pushing the Joe Walt Rookie of the Year campaign. See

1045
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: if we can get for all the old not just

1046
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: for you. You know, it's not a selfish word. It's for

1047
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: all the alignment that come into break the barrier.

1048
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 4: Droone, No, I mean, obviously there's always goals in mind,

1049
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: and like I'm not gonna be one to boast myself.

1050
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 3: I'll miss kocking that guy.

1051
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: But you know, for me, it's you know, there's always

1052
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: that great puplusity out there, but it's fastly gonna greating

1053
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 4: me bad.

1054
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: So I just got to keep my mind.

1055
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 4: And my head down and just continue to, like I said,

1056
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: just kicking a little steps. And you know, I think

1057
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 4: the results always take care of themselves. You know, you

1058
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 4: can put goals out there, but if you really, in

1059
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: my mind, if you get two folks from the goal,

1060
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 4: you kind of lose track of what's at hand now.

1061
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 4: And that's just trying to improve a little bit by

1062
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: a little bit every single week and those results to

1063
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 4: take care themselves.

1064
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: Joe, that was an extremely humble answer. That would have

1065
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: been probably totally different what I would have said, Like.

1066
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: You knows for the brand, you know, for the punters,

1067
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: like I don't know what it would be for the

1068
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: is it for the beef for something? Right, Like we

1069
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: got to get something.

1070
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: Going alignment, ye know, it has to be something someone's

1071
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 4: got to start something. I don't know if that's going

1072
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 4: to be me, but you know I always want the

1073
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 4: old line to you know, get appreciated.

1074
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: Well, that's always part of it for sure.

1075
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of Humble, justin Herbert's the same way. Humble doesn't

1076
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: like the camera. All about team, never about me. What

1077
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: have you seen with his leadership? Right? Playing for a

1078
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 2: guy like him, usually not as vocal, not as doesn't

1079
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: show much emotion, but these last few games, these last

1080
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 2: few weeks, he's fired up. He's showing emotion and we'd

1081
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: love to see it. What can you say about his

1082
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: leadership and that step that he's taken.

1083
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know when you see that look in his

1084
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: eyes and that excitement, it just, I don't know, it

1085
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 4: makes you feel like you can run through a brick

1086
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 4: wall for him, It just a builds so much confidence

1087
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 4: for the group and so much excitement, and you know

1088
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 4: that makes the game so much more fun. It makes

1089
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 4: you want to work that much harder just to see.

1090
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 4: You know, that's why I do the job. You know,

1091
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 4: you see the excitement in the running back, the quarterback,

1092
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 4: the wh or for the tight end's eyes when they

1093
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 4: have success. You know, that's what I play the game

1094
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 4: for and being able to go out there and do

1095
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 4: that and see guys have success and find joy in

1096
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 4: the game brings me joy. So I've always loved that

1097
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 4: part of it, being able to see, you know, this

1098
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 4: team so to kind of take on that, you know

1099
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 4: that I would say personality a little bit where when

1100
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 4: things are going well, we can celebrate and be it,

1101
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 4: enjoy it, but also we have to work and we

1102
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: have to work to get to these spots. So I

1103
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 4: think that's been really cool to see and see justin

1104
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: kind of take on that. You know that personality has

1105
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 4: been fun for all of us as a group, and

1106
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 4: it really just it really boosts us and makes it

1107
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 4: just want to work that much harder.

1108
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: What's the for for people that are watching on the YouTube,

1109
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: they can see the disparity and size between someone like

1110
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: me and someone like you. So it looks like Honey

1111
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: Shrunk's embarrassed, humiliating this what it is. But what is

1112
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: what's the best thing about being the size of Joe Walton.

1113
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: What's the biggest challenge of being the size of Joe.

1114
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 4: Walt The biggest challenge is easy. It's flying, right. I

1115
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 4: cannot stand flying. I grew up and I grew up

1116
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 4: on a Minneapolis was at South Bend and had to

1117
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 4: fly a lot of these small air planes and getting

1118
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 4: back and home from college and really tight things. So

1119
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 4: airplanes is easy the best I would say in crowds

1120
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 4: you can see over everybody and being able, like if

1121
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 4: you're like with a group, you gotta find your group

1122
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: release if you get disconnected. So that's a kind of

1123
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 4: a weird answer, but I said, that's the biggest perka

1124
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: being big.

1125
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm I'm a father, right, and your dad

1126
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: played in the NFL, and I coached my little kids

1127
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: and youth sports, and I know how much it means

1128
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: to me to watch my kids have fun and do

1129
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 2: what they love. And obviously I know your dad's super

1130
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: proud of you. Most people might not know that your

1131
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: dad was played in the NFL, did play for the Tie's. Unfortunately.

1132
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: What did he teach you and what point does did

1133
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: he give you just growing up? And how much do

1134
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: you think he impacted your game and your success to

1135
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: who you are now?

1136
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the thing that he taught me at

1137
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 4: a young age that has really stuck with me is

1138
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 4: just the term you always used with refusal to lose

1139
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 4: and you know you're gonna lose the life, like the

1140
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 4: things are going to go poorly, but it's just that

1141
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 4: mindset that you know, you got to get back up

1142
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 4: and just continue to fight for that. I think that's

1143
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 4: the biggest thing. And you know, having him coach me

1144
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 4: this entire way, you know, coach me as a quarterback,

1145
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 4: coach me as a tight end. Now he's you know,

1146
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 4: helped me as an offensive lineman in the NFL. Just

1147
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 4: having that experience of going through you know, when I

1148
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 4: was in college, he'd went through it. Now as my

1149
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: rookie year, transitioning from college to rookie year, and he

1150
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 4: has all that knowledge of going through at firsthand and

1151
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: being able to go and ask him, you know, call

1152
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 4: him after a training Campra's.

1153
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: Like, hey, Dad, did they didn't go great? Like what

1154
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: do you think?

1155
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 4: And you know, being able to have him, you know,

1156
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 4: talk through his experiences and being able to for me,

1157
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: being able to compare him to mine and just know

1158
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 4: that he's been through it, he's given the best advice

1159
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 4: and the advice that he has had firsthand has been

1160
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: huge for me and allowing me just to continue to

1161
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 4: build confidence, you know, and trust in what I'm doing

1162
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 4: you should never do all.

1163
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: Right, last thing for you, Joe, because big game this weekend.

1164
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: People may be watching this after it's already completed. Notre

1165
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Dame Army at Yankee Stadium. So you can answer this

1166
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: however you want. But the most interesting thing to me

1167
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: is how much would you hear the defensive lineman when

1168
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: you played the service academies come to the sideline and

1169
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: be like those best there's cut me, they keep cutting me.

1170
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 4: It was I'm not gonna say that. I'm not I

1171
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 4: want to I want to keep everything I did hear.

1172
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 4: Some The worst part was actually probably in practice because

1173
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 4: we had to, like you can't go into the game

1174
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 4: like be getting cut for the first time, so you

1175
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: had to like as simulate a little bit. And guys

1176
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 4: were like, why are we getting cut in practice? Because

1177
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: you're gonna get cut probably forty fifty times this game, yeah,

1178
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: maybe even more.

1179
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: So.

1180
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's always a tough one for the d

1181
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 4: line and it was always a you know, a big

1182
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: pressure on us as an offense because these teams hold

1183
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 4: the ball for long time on these drives, getting you know,

1184
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: three yards in a cloud of dust. So it's like

1185
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: as an offense, we got to be efficient, we got

1186
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 4: to score and get the opportunity, and we really can't

1187
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: go three and now because our defense is gonna be

1188
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 4: tired at times. So it was always a big stress

1189
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 4: on both of the offense and defense. But they're always

1190
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: such a fun game and you know, always rooting for

1191
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,799

1212
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: know where he'll end up in the Rookie of the

1213
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: Year voting because you got obviously a couple quarterbacks. Bo

1214
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: Nix is now in the conversation. Maybe he's the favorite

1215
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: ahead of Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams or one of

1216
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks that's going to be in that conversation. But

1217
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison Junior, all the receivers, you can we

1218
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: can start it, man, We can start making the case

1219
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: if his jenues, if Herbert ends up working his way

1220
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: really deep into this MVP conversation and you're talking about

1221
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: clean pockets and stuff, I think we can we can

1222
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: start waving the banner for Joe All to get some

1223
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year conversation.

1224
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: It has there ever been a left tackle Rookie of

1225
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: the Year, No, but there probably hasn't been a left

1226
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: tackle that played as well as Joe in his rookie year.

1227
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 1: Exactly right, it's it's been impressive. I mean Joe having

1228
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: and I think you know you mentioned the left tackle

1229
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: Slater having him on the left side to help Joe

1230
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: out moving from the left to the right side, Like,

1231
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. You can't quantify it, you

1232
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: can qualify it, I think you know. I'm sure you

1233
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: can speak to it, like having a mentor someone that

1234
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: plays at the level Rashaun who is probably one of

1235
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: the three best tackles in the league. To be able

1236
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: to walk into that certainly is a benefit, and I'm

1237
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 1: sure you know is one of the reasons why he's

1238
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: playing so well.

1239
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: Obviously, don want to take away what Joe does just naturally, right, Obviously,

1240
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: he's a top five pick for a reason. He does

1241
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 2: his thing. But when I came in the league, the

1242
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: guy for me was Eric Weddle. I came in undrafted

1243
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 2: and I didn't know how to be a pro. I

1244
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 2: didn't know how to take care of my body. I

1245
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: didn't know how to watch film. And as a rookie

1246
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 2: you come in almost with a lot going on, people

1247
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 2: pulling from you from the outside. You know your agent,

1248
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: your marketing team, this, that, and then you try to

1249
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: come in and you try to find you a veteran.

1250
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 2: So the fact that I was able to come in

1251
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: and find me a veteran in Eric Weddle, who was

1252
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: an all pro pro bowler, just got paid, all world guy,

1253
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: right class guy, good leader, Joe gets to come into

1254
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: the same situation with Slater, and I can't fathom that

1255
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: that's not one of the reasons why he's playing so well. Obviously,

1256
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 2: he has all the physical traits, he's smart, he's physical,

1257
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: he's athletic. But when you have a guy that has

1258
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 2: done it at a high level, when you come in

1259
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: as a young guy, as a rookie me speaking from experience,

1260
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 2: you get to find almost kind of just pull on

1261
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: or follow their coattail and let them show you and

1262
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: lead the way. And obviously you take things that you

1263
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 2: like that they do, and you have things that you

1264
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,760
Speaker 2: feel like works better for you. But you you're able

1265
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 2: to look at their pieces of puzzle and take a

1266
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: piece from it and add it to your game. So obviously,

1267
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: man Slater being here and being the type of tackle

1268
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 2: that he is has really really benefited Joel.

1269
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have to do it against a

1270
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: Baltimore defense that's giving up. It's weird because when I

1271
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: go back and watch it, I look at that front

1272
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, this thing is.

1273
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 2: Nasty, nasty.

1274
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: Not a bk is nasty a way, uh the linebackers

1275
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: and and ro Kwan and Simpson like. But then you

1276
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: look and it's just there's there's busted plays.

1277
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 2: The secondary money, right, that's what it is.

1278
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphreys like he's one of the best of the league.

1279
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: He is, but he doesn't play all four five other positions.

1280
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton one of the best safeties in the league.

1281
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: That's the that's the exact point. So you can't have

1282
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: you can't have that.

1283
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Hamilton is one of the best safeties in

1284
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: the league. Humphrey has done it for a long time.

1285
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: Takes the ball away at a high rate. But there's

1286
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 2: there's holes in the secondary. We obviously seen Jamar Chase

1287
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 2: the week before expose them for two hundred and forty yards.

1288
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: I can go deep on him, and Herbert has been

1289
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: throwing deep.

1290
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 2: Herbert likes deep, man, he likes to show off that arm.

1291
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 2: And I don't think that there's no reason why they

1292
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: don't test that secondary early and often.

1293
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, the I want to start with the fly now

1294
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: I went there just quickly, but I want to start

1295
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: with the flip side because you kind of get into

1296
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: two numbers. We're ten eleven eleven games in for the

1297
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: Ravens at this point, and you know, there's there's things

1298
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: you can lean on. I assume it's stuff that you

1299
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: guys would talk about in your positional meetings or in

1300
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: your you know, your defensive meetings. But Lamar has been

1301
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: really good against the blitz. Lamar has been really good

1302
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: against zone. Should say he's been he's like that. But

1303
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: this is what's weird, right, So, like last week Pittsburgh

1304
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: blitz is a ton which they don't normally, and they

1305
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 1: play a lot of man Chargers are playing a ton

1306
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: of quarters. They're they're having six man boxes. It's like

1307
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 1: one of the highest light box rates in the league.

1308
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: They don't blit. It's the lowest blitz rate and it's

1309
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: the most productive pressure rate on the lowest blitz rate

1310
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 1: if you can follow along with that in the league.

1311
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: So since do you change do you come in and say, hey,

1312
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of eating the middle of the field, he's

1313
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: feasting on zone a little bit. He's struggling with man.

1314
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: Is that or no? You just do what you do

1315
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: and that makes more sense, Like how do you approach that?

1316
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 2: I think you come out with the too high safety

1317
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: and you said, you know what, We've been able to

1318
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 2: get home with four all season long, and I don't

1319
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: think there's any reason why we shouldn't be able to

1320
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: do it this week. Now. With that being said, you

1321
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: may have to pressure five just every so often to

1322
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: mix it up with Lamar because that guy dances around

1323
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: the pocket. I've played him three four times, man, and

1324
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: he's one of the hardest guys to sack. It's one

1325
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: of the hardest guys to prepare for because you can't

1326
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: get the speed, athleticism and then playmaking ability on scout team.

1327
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 2: Like you almost have to put grab a receiver from

1328
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: scout team and be like, hey, you know what, just

1329
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: for this period, we're running RPO, we're running zone read,

1330
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 2: and you're gonna immolate and you're going to try to

1331
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 2: do exactly what Lamar does and that receiver still won't

1332
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 2: be able to show you what it's gonna feel like

1333
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 2: look like on Sundays. So I think what Jesse does

1334
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 2: is he comes out, he plays his two man look

1335
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: too sorry, his two safety look light box. See if

1336
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 2: you could defend the run. Obviously, Derrick Henry's a monster,

1337
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 2: another guy in the MVP race, right, So if it

1338
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: does not work, then you make adjustments. But I don't

1339
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 2: think you come out and just all of a sudden

1340
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 2: change up everything that you've been doing all season long.

1341
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: And when you do blitz and the Charges do a

1342
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 2: really good job of not having man demand eyes. They

1343
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: have quarterback zone eyes, so you can get opportunities to

1344
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: make interceptions. Although Lamar has been throwing the ball and

1345
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: fitting that ball into tight windows all season long. Man,

1346
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: he's playing, he's playing observed right now.

1347
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he's got what like twenty one tds to

1348
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: like four picks like he's but as has been the

1349
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: case his whole career, he likes the middle of the

1350
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: field like he is not as accurate throwing outside. He

1351
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: doesn't like really throwing outside. So what's the key there?

1352
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: How do you if you're playing in a too high shell,

1353
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: how are you taking away the middle of the field.

1354
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 2: Well, it's basically if you're playing two high shell. You

1355
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 2: either playing Cover four right quarter, or you're playing Cover

1356
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 2: six quarter quarter halves maybe cloud and a receiver that

1357
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 2: you think may be a threat, or you're playing Cover

1358
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: two right and all those coverages have guys in the

1359
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: middle of the field. So the main thing about that

1360
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 2: is this week working your past drops is Hey, look,

1361
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna work our past drops. We're gonna get depth,

1362
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna make sure we're not dropping outside of the hashes.

1363
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 2: He likes everything between the numbers and the hashes. So

1364
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: let's almost put markers here. And I don't want my linebackers,

1365
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't want my nickels, I don't want my safeties

1366
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: who are dropping underneath just for practice. I don't want

1367
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: you dropping outside of these landmarks. We're gonna give you landmarks.

1368
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 2: And this is where we want you. Ten to twelve

1369
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: yards two yards outside the numbers. That's where he likes

1370
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 2: his digs, you know, ten to twelve yards inside the numbers.

1371
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: That's where he likes his little sit down routes. So

1372
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 2: this is where we want you guys to feel and

1373
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 2: almost to know, this is where he's going with it.

1374
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: We'll take the outside passes, we'll take the outside shots.

1375
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 2: He has to show it to us for four quarters

1376
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: that he can continue to do it and beat us.

1377
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: What's the way to do that too, is death. Make

1378
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: sure you're getting death. But if you get death, now

1379
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: you're opening that door for Dereck Henry. So what's the like,

1380
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: what's the it's fun to kind of you know, that's

1381
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: why it's called chess. So you're playing box safety or

1382
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: these linebackers are playing. You're telling them, hey, man, I

1383
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: need you to get deep, a little bit deeper, make

1384
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: those throws a little more uncomfort from but you've got yeah.

1385
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: But it's also as a player and as a defensive coordinator,

1386
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: you got to understand, Okay, what's the scenario. Is it

1387
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: first and ten or is it second and twelve or

1388
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 2: is it second and six? Right, So first and ten,

1389
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 2: we're saying, hey, look, we might show too high. We

1390
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 2: might show a too high look where they think we're

1391
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 2: gonna give what we've shown on film all day and

1392
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: at the snap we want during we want you to

1393
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: rotate into the box of created eight man box linebackers

1394
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 2: bump right. So now we're defending the past and we're

1395
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: defending the run. Now, second down, third down, Now, we

1396
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 2: can get a little more cute and do a little

1397
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: bit different stunts with our line. We can play a

1398
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 2: little bit more softer zones. But it's all about the scenario.

1399
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: It's all about the down, the distance, the time. So

1400
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,919
Speaker 2: you can't really pinpoint right now money sitting here and saying, hey, look,

1401
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: you're gonna do this. It all predicates on what's going

1402
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 2: on in the game at the time.

1403
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: You understand so absolutely, and it's gonna be a hell

1404
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: of a challenge. I mean, lying, Derek Henry is in

1405
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 1: the conversation for MVP. Lamar's arguably the front runner for MVP.

1406
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: I know they have the four losses and that's a

1407
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: bit of a concern, but he's playing along with you know,

1408
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, some of the best quarterback

1409
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: in the league. So you know what that challenge is

1410
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: going to be. You always hear, oh, take away what

1411
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: they do best? What do they do best? Like, if

1412
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: you're going in, what is the first thing you want

1413
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: to take away?

1414
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: The first thing I'm taking away is the run. You

1415
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 2: got Lamar Jackson, you got Derrick Henry. It was bad

1416
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 2: enough trying to play Lamar Jackson to stop the room

1417
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 2: with just him. Now you have Lamar, excuse me, now

1418
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: you have Derick Henry. And the thing about playing Derrick

1419
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: Henry in my career, our coach will always say, listen,

1420
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: if you get him before those wills start turning at

1421
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, he's in it. From experience, he's

1422
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: not as hard to tackle. It's when he gets to

1423
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: that second level and that third level and that two

1424
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five pounds are running and running and

1425
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 2: turning and he has the momentum. Is when he's hard

1426
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: to bring down, and that's when you see him bust

1427
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 2: his long runs. So if I'm the Chargers, I come out,

1428
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: I show too high, but then I move on the

1429
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 2: snap and I bring an extra safety in the box.

1430
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: I bump the linebackers. Now we're giving the offensive line

1431
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 2: different look that they've seen pre snap, and now they

1432
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 2: maybe miss a guy, maybe they overreach, and then we

1433
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: get We allow our line, our defensive line to penetrate

1434
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 2: and our linebackers run downhill. If you take away the

1435
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: run against the Ravens and now the one dimensional Yes,

1436
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has thrown the ball a lot better than

1437
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: when he's coming to the league. But I'll take my

1438
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 2: I'll take my chances with him throwing the ball all

1439
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 2: day long then not being able to stop the run

1440
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 2: with him Derrick Henry, and now you can't stop anything

1441
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 2: because now the pass is there, the run is there,

1442
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: and the playbook is at their disposal.

1443
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the key and look this is this

1444
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: has been the report on on the Ravens there since

1445
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: Lamar has been the quarterback. Jump them early. You know,

1446
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: if you force them out of a lot of that

1447
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: those runs, you know that they want that where they

1448
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: can dictate terms they're running. If you can force them

1449
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: out of that into a their down two scores in

1450
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: the second half, This doesn't look like Joe Burrow. This

1451
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: is not Joe Burrow, Jamar Chason T. Higgins.

1452
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: It's a different off threat.

1453
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, where they can hit you on a seventy second

1454
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: drive for sixty yards in a touchdown. It just doesn't

1455
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: work that way.

1456
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 2: And I got respect for Lamar as a pocket passer,

1457
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 2: and I think he's developed and has worked his game

1458
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: to be one of the better pocket passers in the

1459
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 2: league right now, But his receiver has had troubles with drops.

1460
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 2: His biggest target right now would have to be the

1461
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 2: tight end and Mark andrewsah right, So you're gonna say

1462
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 2: coming into this game, look, we're gonna make these guys

1463
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 2: show us that they can beat us in the air,

1464
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 2: and we're gonna take away what you guys do best.

1465
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: And you hear it all all the time. Money. It

1466
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 2: sounds cliche, but what they do best is run that ball.

1467
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: And then when they run the ball, well, now your

1468
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: defense is off killed, and then that allows them a

1469
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 2: to get play action deep balls and now their offense

1470
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: is just rolling at a high rate.

1471
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: You are you still playing a ton of nickel and dime,

1472
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: because we've seen this team plays more dime than a

1473
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of teams in the league with Derwin at that dimeback,

1474
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: or do you think this is more of a nickel

1475
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: DP and Henley are out there the whole time.

1476
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 2: Once again, DP and Henley out there first and second down, right,

1477
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,439
Speaker 2: you go dime, you go dime, You go nickel maybe

1478
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: second down, depending on the down and distance. Once again,

1479
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: and then you go dim in the third down. But

1480
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't think you just live in dime right now.

1481
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: They have shown where they played during They played the

1482
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: big nickel package with Duran at Nickel right right, and

1483
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 2: then they bring in other safety at the top, Molin.

1484
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's tough to say right now. It's

1485
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 2: tough to say right now, but you got to really

1486
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: see how this game goes on. It's going to be

1487
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: an exciting one to see.

1488
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: Man.

1489
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. The one thing too, I think that's important to

1490
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: point out is when you look at the overall numbers

1491
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and the points allowed and stuff, like you said, they're

1492
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: giving up big plays downfield, but this front's really good,

1493
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: especially on the interior when like you look at Matta

1494
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Bk and I was trying to remember, I wanted to

1495
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: get the exact size of Travis Jones when you're talking

1496
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: about six foot four, three hundred and forty pounds on

1497
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: the way that guy moves, like, that's a lot for

1498
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: you know what. The edges have been great, Alton Slater inside,

1499
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's getting it's gotten a lot better,

1500
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: especially that Tennessee game. I think Herbert only had two

1501
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 1: pressures and you know.

1502
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: And we talked about that Tennessee game, how how dominant

1503
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: they were in the interior.

1504
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, exactly. So with with with dev Andre and

1505
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: and Simmons and they again two pressures, no sacks. So

1506
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: when you look at kind of the plan and what

1507
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: coach Harball likes to do, the other Harball, John Harball,

1508
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: what they like to do up front, kind of your

1509
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the old line and what the challenges may

1510
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: be with Matta b kN van Noy who's playing great

1511
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: football as well, and I mentioned some of the names.

1512
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: O way, like this is a really good front that

1513
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to contend with.

1514
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I just mentioned Money. We talked about Tennessee

1515
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 2: going into the Tennessee game, how good their front was

1516
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: and probably had the best front interior on the defensive line,

1517
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: and the Chargers handled business. I think, look the confidence

1518
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 2: that Jim Harball has in his team, the confidence that

1519
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 2: he has in his offense, his offensive line, and just

1520
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: his units. All three phases. You run at him, You

1521
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 2: run at him inside zone, outside zone. You give him

1522
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,479
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. You give him play action,

1523
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 2: you mix the playbook around, you give jet sweeps, you

1524
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 2: get it's Monday night football. You know the atmosphere is

1525
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 2: going to be intense, it's going to be a really

1526
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 2: good game. But the fact that the Ravens interior defensive

1527
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 2: line is really good. I don't think you shy away

1528
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 2: from it, right if there's a bully to do it.

1529
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 2: How do you stop a bully from bullying you, You

1530
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: punch them back, right exactly. So I think that's what

1531
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 2: they do.

1532
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll tell you I think it was power.

1533
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: They ran right for the game winner. I want to say, yeah,

1534
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: it was power, down, down and around. Basically run, run

1535
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: some more power with Jak and get him back out there.

1536
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Some Gus Edwards who had a really good first half

1537
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: as well. It's gonna be a great one, gonna be

1538
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: darn exciting. We've mentioned it. Herbert's great in primetime. Lamar

1539
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Jackson is great in primetime. Jim Harbaugh is zero and

1540
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: two against his of course, one of those losses being

1541
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl to be lost by three points, the

1542
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: lights out super Bowl between the forty nine ers and

1543
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens. And it's Thanksgiving a week. It's a time

1544
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: for family. I mean, you could not at the NFL

1545
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: just talk about stepping in it. Yeah, this was an

1546
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: easy one, so very much looking forward to it. Just

1547
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: final thoughts, what you think this looks like it's.

1548
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Going to be a barn burner. Man, it's going to

1549
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: be exciting. It's gonna be a lot of bells, and

1550
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of whists. It's gonna be

1551
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: a lot of fireworks and so fine. In Los Angeles.

1552
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 2: What better place to you know, have this game you

1553
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 2: just mentioned it. Brothers playing family atmosphere Thanksgiving weekend, Lamar Jackson,

1554
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 2: Verus Herbert. That's gonna be the store, right, It's gonna

1555
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 2: be the headline. It's gonna be the store. Which one

1556
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: of them to prevail? Both of them MVP conversations. Both

1557
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 2: of them have a really good supporting cast on offense, defense,

1558
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and special teams. I think the Chargers walk away with

1559
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 2: this one by playing stingy defense, getting home with Lamar

1560
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: with four man pressure, taking away the looks at he

1561
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 2: wants moving post snap, and then on offense, justin Herbert

1562
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 2: and the offense getting the run game going, getting the

1563
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 2: run game going, You're gonna see Ladd and those guys

1564
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 2: stretch down field and make plays happen for him.

1565
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think i'd like, you know, if I could

1566
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: draw it up, if I had my Thanksgiving wish, I'd

1567
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: love to see Herbert play the role for the national

1568
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: audience of Lamar Jackson. Last week, he accounted for eighty

1569
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: three percent of the Chargers offense. He was the leading

1570
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: rusher and obviously through for almost three hundred yards of

1571
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: their I think it was four hundred thirty five yards.

1572
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 1: He accounted for like three hundred and sixty seven of them.

1573
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: So Monster, do it again. You know, use those legs, run.

1574
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 2: Use those legs exactly.

1575
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: Continue to use the legs, rip off some big runs,

1576
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: keep them on their heels. It's really been the difference

1577
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: in the way this offense is been operating lately, just

1578
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the thread of him running. So I'd love to see

1579
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: sort of that play out. And as you said, I

1580
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna be a big I feel like

1581
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an offensive game. I just do you

1582
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: know it's.

1583
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: Just as gonna be fireworks. Yeah, and you know how

1584
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 2: the NFL does exactly.

1585
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're looking forward to it. We appreciate
