What's it mean just to 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: get back here, get rolling for twenty ninth team? We 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: got we got goals that we want to accomplish. You know, 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: it started out on OTAs you started ground one, a, 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: ground zero, just building up the team from there and 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: now we're just polishing up in camps. First day of 20 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: practice and you know, it just felt good to see 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: everybody see you could tell people went home and they 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: were working. Yeah, I would said the same thing, man. 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: You know, OTA's in the spring time. We were, you know, 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: trying to fill each other out, you know, trying to 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: get that team chemistry. And I feel like, man, we 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: were hit in the right direction. I feel like, you know, 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: the coaches, they're really taking care of us and it's 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: helping us. How much does that help? Having the same coaches, 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the same players the front office, it 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: just seemed like today was business as usual. You know. 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't like everybody trying to figure out who's who. 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: And you know, you guys have been doing this for 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: a long time with with a lot of the same people. Man, 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the best part. Man. 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, kind of like college. You know, 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: you come in, you're gonna see some of the same faces, 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: well a lot of the same faces when you come in. 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: That's and that's how I feel like we're doing here. 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: You know, I come in, I know pretty much everybody. Um, 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: if I don't then them, I'm gonna get to know 41 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: you pretty soon. And I feel like that that contributes 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: to to you a good team, a great team. Yeah, 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: That's the beautiful thing about where we're at right now. 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: It's like a lot of teams, you know, they have 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: new head coaches and new just new coaches, new systems 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: do everything. Yeah, and we're kind of picking up where 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: we left off last season. We already know everybody, We 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: already know how people operate. You know. The biggest thing 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: for me is always getting to know your teammates and 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: the fact that we've been here with the same core 51 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: group of guys for so long, for about three years now, 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: you already know them. So you already got that camaraderie 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: and you just able to build off that and you're 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: able to tweak things here and there because y'all speak 55 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: the same language. So that's great. And trust, I would 56 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: say that that that goes a long way too. You 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: gotta be the trust your teammates, man. I feel like 58 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: we got that here, especially in our unit. Yeah. It 59 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: search with coach Milo too, right, he kind of sets 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the tool for you guys. You guys bring the energy 61 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: for the entire team. I've heard that so many times, 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: and I know you don't take that for granted, right 63 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: because when you take the field, not only you represent 64 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: the secondary, but but everybody else kind of feeds off that, right, Yeah, yeah, 65 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: everybody feeds off of it. It's just it's the way 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: that we like it. You know, every position group feels like, 67 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, they bring the energy to the team, and 68 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: it's supposed to feel that way, but we take it 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: upon ourselves. Then they we're the last line of defense. 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: So nine times out of tending we mess up, it's 71 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown or a big place. So we feel like 72 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: our energy has to be even higher than everybody else's 73 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: and we have to have that confidence level and we 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: build it out here on the practice field, so in 75 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: the game it comes easy, right Yeah, yeah, man, I mean, 76 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean I look at it like, imagine you're coming 77 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: to work and you come around a bunch of energy vampires. 78 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I ain't. I'm trying to 79 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: like that. So we just try to, you know, keep 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: keep that high energy in the room, keep the high 81 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: energy throughout the building. Man. And just like we said, 82 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: everybody feed off of it. It's so important because you 83 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: know you have that positivity, man, you're just gonna play better, right, 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: you know that passion, you know you're gonna be your 85 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: best self going on to the football field, right. Oh yeah, 86 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: And that's the main thing that we encourage, especially in 87 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 1: our rooms. Just be itself. You know, if you if 88 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: you're not one of those guys that's always out there 89 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: dancing or whatever, they ain't got to be that. But 90 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: we want everybody just to embrace their personality because when 91 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: you when you embrace your personality and the type of 92 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: player that you are, it's easy for you to go 93 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: out there and do what you need to do to 94 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: get the job done. Yeah, that's that's what we're encouraging, 95 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and we think that it's flooding over into the whole team. 96 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: All right. I want y'all to brag on each other 97 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 1: a little bit because you know, ray Sean, you started 98 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of games of twenty eighteen. Um. I 99 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: know Tom Pleska said you had a good off season. 100 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: I see jumping man a checkdown man. That's crazy. But 101 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: to the movie, I thought I thought that was fake. 102 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I thought that was fake. I think our social media 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: team didn't like a little like Mario deal where you 104 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, man. That's what I do. Um in 105 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: the off season. As far as my training, you know, 106 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: it kind of kind of takes the weights out of it, 107 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: but it's still working on explosion. Yeah, so that's that's 108 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: what I kind of do all season to kind of, 109 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: you know, make shaw I still got it, I guess, yeah, 110 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: baby hit me his development man over over the last 111 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: few years. It's all about getting better each and every season, 112 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: and Rayshaw's certainly done that. Yeah, that's what you want 113 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: to do. Easier, easier, you want to get better, find 114 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: something to get better. And it's crazy like when ray 115 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: came in, you know, he he was a young guy. 116 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: He'll tell you started off straight off the bat. He 117 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: wasn't there mentally, but each year he's grown and it's 118 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: finally taken off. Like the last few games he got 119 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: a lot of playing tom and it really showed, I 120 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: want to say Dever. Dever is when he really first 121 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: got his his real playing time and had the last 122 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: game and then he went into Baltimore and balled out. 123 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: Then he went into New England and balled out, and 124 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: you could just see you could just see everything just 125 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: clicking faster, the game slowing down for him. And then 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: when you have somebody with his athletic ability and putting 127 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: that mental aspect of the game into it, is he's 128 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna have a great year and a lot of people 129 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Finn know who he is real soon, thank you man. 130 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: But but I want to flip it too, because ap 131 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you had you had goals last year, right, 132 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: and you accomplished those goals your first team pro last year, right? Um? 133 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: And I know it goes beyond just yourself, your selflessness, 134 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: your ability to take guys under your wing like Durwin, 135 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: to make everybody else better. Just what's it like being 136 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: in a DB's room with him racion man? Like Okay, 137 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I mean I tell my girl this all the time, 138 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: like this kind of selfish. But I don't want him 139 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: to leave last year because he made me better mentally. 140 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Yeah you know, um so man, he especially coming from 141 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: where he came from. Man, how many times you're being 142 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: cut and just being able to make a Pro Bowl? 143 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: That's aparence. That is that's crazy. Man made the Pro Bowl? Man? 144 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: And I literally that's my That's the reason for my growth, honestly. 145 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell anybody that, Um, I sit right next 146 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: to him in the meetings, I pick up his habits 147 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: and I just try to learn from him. He'll tell 148 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: you himself. I mean I'm leading over asking him questions 149 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: like yo, yo, what's what's this? And that? So I like, 150 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: that's that's a bit uh part of why my game 151 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: is enhancing as well. Yeah, and you probably pay it 152 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: forward to And we got young guys like like Nahs 153 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: in the second day and all these young guys that 154 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: are kind of taking that next step. I mean, I 155 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: even look at desben Man des Been in year three. Um, 156 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: you guys can all get better. You know, you can 157 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: get better in twenty nineteen.

And that's what that's what we want 161 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: to do. You know, we wanted on our shoulders when 162 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: it's time for us to make a play, we want 163 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: to be that group to go out there and make 164 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: it and I believe that we will and we practice 165 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: that out here.

Those 168 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: are game changing plays and that's the main thing we 169 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: want to do.

I mean people forget guys he was getting 207 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: the first team reps start the first three games the year. 208 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: You go twelve and four, it's easy to forget the 209 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. But I mean you bring him 210 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: in the mix. She talked about Thomas Davis, that veteran 211 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: leadership and he can still go, you know, getting Denzel 212 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: back like he's about for him what's it like sharing 213 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: the field with him, knowing what he's done throughout his career. 214 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: It's amazing, you know, seeing somebody of that type of 215 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: caliber and just how he attacks every day. He attacks 216 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: every day like he's a rookie, like he's his first 217 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: first time being on the field and he's trying to 218 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: make an impression. You're a funny story of Mika Egla, 219 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: the rookie linebacker. He told me during mini camp that 220 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: the linebackers like, if you drop a ball, it's ten 221 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: push ups, right, And I think he dropped the ball 222 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: and must have just slipped his mind. He's like first 223 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: day on the job, right, like mixing it with the vets, 224 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: and TD goes, did you get your ten? And he goes, 225 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: but he goes, no, man, you dropped the ball. Unity 226 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: the accountability and then he said, it's it's great for 227 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: me because I'm gonna get to that point where I 228 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: hold other guys accountable. So it's just like, doesn't matter 229 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: how old you are, it's just what the standard is, 230 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: right exactly. Anybody can lead, you know, anybody can lead one't. 231 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: You just have to learn how to. To some people 232 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: it comes easier than others. But you know, I truly 233 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: believe that anybody could become a leader. You just have 234 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: to and that will works for you, and you know, 235 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: keep pushing yourself every day.

And you know, 249 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: I now want to do it every year. That's that's 250 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: the plan. But at the same time, I don't I 251 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: look at myself as the best, but I work like 252 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: I have nothing, you know, so I don't want to 253 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: I never want to get that mentality like I've arrived.

Just your overall observations today, knowing what 326 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: this team did last year, Well, I would imagine that 327 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the natural excitement of day one of training camp and 328 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: the new season and the freshness is here. But this 329 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: is a team that wants to be playing into January. 330 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: It is not new for them anymore. It is now 331 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: an expectation, and I think some of that was reflected 332 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: in the work that we saw. Very business like, wasn't 333 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: too much hooting and hollerin like you might see in 334 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: other places. These guys know what they have to get done. 335 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: They know it begins now the seriousness, which with which 336 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: to take their work. And we saw a lot of 337 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: that here today and I think in the comments after, 338 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, with whether it's Philip Rivers or Anthony Lynn, 339 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: their comments reflected that that, hey, we're here to work 340 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: and it all begins now for everything we want to 341 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: accomplish this season. That's right. And just talking to ray 342 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: Sean Jenkins and Adrian Phillips, I mentioned the same thing. 343 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: It was just like a workman like approach to this. 344 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: And you know, you go back two years when Coach 345 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Lynn's first year here, you know, first year in Los Angeles, 346 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: so much newness to have that continuity. A lot of 347 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: teams don't have that. They may have a new quarterback, 348 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: they may have a new system, they may have a 349 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: lot of new players, like the Raiders, for instance, have 350 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of new free agents, which isn't necessarily a 351 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: bad thing, but it's good to have that continuity and 352 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: just those familiar faces around you knowing exactly what to 353 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: do and when to do it. Well, you have a 354 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: guy like Hunter Henry, I asked him if you know 355 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: he hasemistry to reconnect with Philip Rivers and they were 356 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: working out together a couple weeks ago in Florida after 357 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: you know, after the minicamp ended and on vacation getting 358 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: those reps in. So when you're talking about reconnecting with 359 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: guys that are as close as that, you know, you've 360 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: got a good sign with camaraderie and chemistry and all 361 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: the intangible things that help go into the season. And 362 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting to hear Philip Rivers say 363 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: today that one of the focuses of Camp is to 364 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: recreate that camaraderie that they had last year. It was 365 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: a key part of their success and they look for 366 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: it to be a key part of their success in 367 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. But it's not something that they're taking for granted. 368 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: And all those little connections that we talked about, you know, 369 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: going on vacations and seeing each other in the free 370 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: time that they did a lot of last year, you know, 371 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: have traveled you know so much together and they formed 372 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: those bonds then is something they'll have to do now 373 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: and last year too. It's it's not like this team 374 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: is exactly the same, right. There are some change is 375 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned Hunter, he didn't play, but all 376 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: that that New England game, you know, I think he 377 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: had maybe fourteen snaps in that game something like that, 378 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: one target, one target, So you know, no Tyrolle Williams. 379 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: So the the weapons on the outside change a little 380 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: bit right now, and then you know in the backfield, 381 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: we saw Justin Jackson and Austin Ekeler and Detrez Newsom 382 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: back there today. So you know a little bit of 383 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: change on the offense as we start camp. But at 384 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: the same time, these guys know what to do when 385 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: to do it. And a guy like Hunter twelve touchdowns 386 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: his first two years in the league, he has that 387 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: instant chemistry with Philip. Yeah, and that's something he talked about. 388 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: He said, you know, they've been together three years now, 389 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: even though yes, he missed most of last season. A 390 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: chemistry is not something that he's worried about with Philip, 391 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: he said. He they were a little rusty, but again 392 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: it's just from having two weeks off or whatever it 393 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: was since the time that they worked together in Florida. 394 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: So if those are the chemistry issues we're talking about, 395 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: you know that they're in good shape. Obviously. You know, 396 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: the elephant in the room is Melvin gordon Um and 397 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: the hold out. You know that that he's you know, uh, 398 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: putting on here. Early part of camp and they all expressed, 399 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, a desire for for Melvin to be here, 400 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: and they're supportive of him and the business decision that 401 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: he has. But at this point, I think Anthony Lynn 402 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: has done a good job of not letting it be 403 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: a distraction, not letting it be a cloud that hangs 404 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: over this team. UM, that has such lofty goals and 405 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: expectations for this season. Yeah, you know, Omar, you have 406 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: a great grasp on the league in general, and just 407 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, going to other camps in the past and 408 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: being around different facilities. When you look at the AFC 409 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: West this year, there's always turnover and always change. Um. 410 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: But you know, Denver, a new quarterback, a new head coach, Oakland, 411 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: a ton of new guys, whether they're rookies, whether they're 412 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: understick to free agents that have come in Kansas City, 413 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: even some some changes on the defensive side of the football. Um. 414 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: Just as we sit here, what's today twenty fifth, how 415 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: would you forecast the AFC West knowing that there's a 416 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: lot to get to over the next six weeks before 417 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: we get to week one. Well, even though we talk about, 418 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, the Melvin Gordon situation, there is still less 419 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: turnover here, and I'd say that's going to be turnover. 420 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: It's just an issue that they're turning with right now. 421 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: But you look at definitive change like you mentioned in 422 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: Kansas City and the question marks on the defense with 423 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, is Tyron Matthew going to be enough on 424 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: the back end. Obviously they were without Eric Barry for 425 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: much of the last you know, two three seasons was 426 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: impactful when he was there, Ken Tyrone Matthew kind of 427 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: make up that difference, and then you have Frank Clark there. Now, Yeah, 428 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: it's like Frank Clark these trades, but you know it's 429 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: a player for player. From a talent perspective, seems like 430 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: they've they've filled one hole for another. But will those 431 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: chemistry issues, you know, formulate and come to fruition like 432 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: like they would hope and same thing in Denver. On paper, yes, 433 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: they've improved dramatically, and you would think that Vic Fangio's 434 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: vision on defense will have that un you know, return 435 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl caliber level, especially with von Miller 436 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: still there and yep, and a lot of other talent 437 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: in place jobs on the other side. And you know, 438 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: we've talked about how you know, seemingly almost every team 439 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: in this division has that won two punch from a 440 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: pass rush perspective. And then can the Raiders get there, 441 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: you know with the pass rush and you know, having 442 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: that number four overall pick, you know they're on the 443 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: defensive line now and all those new changes in free 444 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: agency and John Gruden, you know, bringing it all back. 445 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: Can he get that going. We'll have an indication here 446 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 1: with hard knocks as that gets gone next week. But um, 447 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: but a lot more questions to be answered from other 448 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: teams in the division. So even though the Chargers have 449 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: their own issues right now to work out, I think 450 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: a lot less questions for them than the other members 451 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: of the AFC West and omar this league, man, we 452 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: forget you know, you can look at somebody's record. You 453 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: can look at the team's record, like the Charger were 454 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: twelve and four. Philip even mentioned at the podium some 455 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: of those could have gone either way. Yeah, right, and 456 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: and some of their losses could have gone either way. 457 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: So the margin for error in this league, and I've 458 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: heard this countless time throughout the offseason, wins and losses 459 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: do not carry over. And I think every team establishes 460 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: that going into a new season, but we just don't 461 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: know at the end of the day, you know, with 462 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: injuries and just the bounce of the ball, you don't 463 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: know how things are going to shake out. I think 464 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: that's what makes the af C so interesting because there's 465 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of heavyweights, potential heavyweights at the top 466 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: trying to de throne the Patriots. And I think what 467 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: Rivers acknowledged today was those differences are minuscule. He said, 468 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: you know, something that he'll look to work on is 469 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: making a pass accurate enough so they pick up seven 470 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: yards instead of five. So if he throws the ball 471 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: behind the receiver and they only pick up five yards, 472 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at second and five instead of second and three. 473 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: And those are just the little things that he's looking 474 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: at that in the big picture go a long way 475 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: to help defeat a team like the New England Patriots. 476 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: As you get into it, then then okay, okay, Now 477 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: we're in third in two and that's a big difference 478 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: from third two to third and five. Yes, you know, 479 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: and it's just these little things and having again, I 480 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: keep going back to the coaching staff because especially in 481 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: this league now with so much turnover, even at the 482 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: head coaching positions, you're going to get new assistance in 483 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: and out, coming in and out of your building. To 484 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: have Ken Wizzard Hunt and Gus Bradley and valued assistance, 485 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, it'd be it wouldn't be right for me 486 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: to just name one or two because there's so many 487 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: good ones. And to have coached Linda to Helm, that's 488 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: a big deal. To have the the guys that are 489 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: teaching these players in the current positions at they're the 490 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: continuity on the staff amongst the team. The roster certainly important. 491 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to somebody talked with coach 492 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: Lynde the other day when I asked him, you know, 493 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: kind of what's going to be your focus here? What 494 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: do you what do you want the guys to get 495 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: out of this training camp? And he said he he 496 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: really wants them to focus on being great at certain things. 497 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: He says he doesn't want a bunch of jack of 498 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: all trades. He wants players that are identifiably good at 499 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: certain things and of course be well rounded players and 500 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the more you can do, the better, but but be 501 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: great at certain aspects of the game. He said, that'll 502 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: help them collectively, it'll help them leave training camp with 503 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: an identity because, like you said, Chris, there are so 504 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: many unknowns going into a season, so many variables at play. 505 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: But if they could have some sort of idea who 506 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: they are when they head into week one, that will 507 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: help them down the road and into the twenty nineteen season. 508 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: You know, he also mentioned this week, just controlling the 509 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: things that you can control that don't cost anything. It 510 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: doesn't cost anything to be early, to be prepared, to 511 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: be focused, and it's just a matter of kind of 512 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: further homing that focus and getting even more prepared than 513 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: you were this season before. Just things that each individual 514 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: can control that's going to help the entire team, you 515 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, And that's certainly the message, 516 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about you know, getting in 517 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: to the playbook and and whether it's you know, the 518 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: rookies translating what they learned in the spring to the 519 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: live bullets out on the field and being able to 520 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: apply kind of what they know mentally into the physical 521 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: aspect of the game, especially when they put pads on. 522 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: So being prepared, being mindful of everything that's going on 523 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: around them certainly are part of the components that go 524 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: into a team that has good chemistry. And that's the 525 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: thing about training camp, because we're going to get to 526 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: December before you know it, and one of the things 527 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: you're going to look back at is you know, and 528 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: I can I can use the Chargers as an example 529 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: in that Baltimore game and towards the end of the 530 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: year when Justin Jones started and you Chenna knew wos 531 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: who had that that strip sack and Justin Jackson had 532 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: that run in Pittsburgh and Kansas City and helped win 533 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: that game. These are guys that were unknown as we 534 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: sit here today a year ago. You know, no one 535 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: knew how those guys were going to pan out, how 536 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: they were going to shake out. They end up contributing 537 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: and making a big difference and wins and losses. So 538 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: I think that's what's intriguing too, is you get guys 539 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: like Jerry Tillery and Nazire Adderlie and even undrafted free 540 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: agents that haven't done anything yet. But who's to say 541 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: in a week, we're not talking about a guy that 542 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: you and I may need to do a little research on. 543 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: Right Well, that's another important aspect of the coaching staff 544 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: continuity that you just brought up. When you have players 545 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: who've been here, coaches maybe don't have to spend as 546 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: much time teaching the frontline starters the playbook and what 547 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: they have to know on the field. They can get 548 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: into developing players and making sure that those young guys 549 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: are ready to play if called upon. It's one thing 550 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: to you know, have a guy on special teams and 551 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: just you know, giving the full effort, you know, from 552 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: a physical standpoint on the field, but then to knowing 553 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: his defensive assignment. Even though he maybe third or fourth 554 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: string here at training camp, like you said in December, 555 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: he may be asked to play a critical role. That's 556 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: making sure that, you know, the coaches are getting into 557 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: all those guys down the depth chart and developing them. 558 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: And I think that is something that we saw last 559 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: year and it's something that will continue to be their 560 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: focus into this season. You know, a good example that 561 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: is the guy we just had on, Adrian Phillips, who 562 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: really his selflessness I think got him in All Pro 563 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: nod last year. He took Durwin James under his wing 564 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: last year and really helped him with just the intricacies 565 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: of pro football and film and they watched they watch 566 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: film together. They worked out together, and those are the 567 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: little things. If you can if you can make guys 568 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: like Darwin great, he was already great, but if you 569 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: can put him in a position to be a first 570 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: team All Pro rookie season and then also better yourself 571 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: on special teams and make key plays, it's almost like 572 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: that selflessness you paid forward, and it also kind of 573 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: takes care of itself, you know what I mean, And 574 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: it helps the guys form those bonds. Yeah, and then 575 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: they're they're playing for each other and they know when 576 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: you have my back and I have yours, and they're 577 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: not worried about who's going to take who's playing time, 578 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and they're just all doing it for the unit. Then 579 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: you know that spells success. And obviously you gotta have 580 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: the talent in place, and you got to have some 581 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: breaks and you know, stay healthy and all that, but 582 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: it's all part of it. And when you have a 583 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: program that has had the trajectory that the Chargers have 584 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: had in the last couple of years obviously the back 585 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: half of twenty seventeen, and then carrying that, which is 586 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: something we don't really see from one season to the 587 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: next in the NFL, but I think they really took 588 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: advantage of all that momentum built at the end of 589 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: the twenty seventeens. He's an into twenty eighteen and now 590 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: into twenty nineteen. It seems like Coach Lynn has built 591 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: this to be a sustainable, successful team, and I think 592 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: we'll see that again in twenty nineteen. No question, Omar, 593 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: We'll get you out of here on this, because I 594 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: know you follow the league. You're going to be at 595 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: a number of different training camps and covering a bunch 596 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: of different teams. What are you looking forward to during 597 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: this twenty nineteen season, the NFL's one hundredth year. There's 598 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: so many storylines and it's almost hard to keep up 599 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: with you. Every single day there's something different, but just 600 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: kind of those high end storylines that you're looking forward to. Well, 601 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: I would say, how now that the league has seen 602 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, you know, in the MVP caliber season, how 603 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: he had just you know, went once the league punches 604 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: back from a defensive standpoint, You've given coordinators a whole 605 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: offseason to get some game tape to break him down, 606 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: and and you know, I don't think he'll have too 607 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: much trouble. He's still fantastic he's still fantastic. I think 608 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: he'll be a great player, but it'll be fun to see. 609 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: And then you talk about, you know, the big name 610 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: storylines as can Tom Brady do it again? And you know, 611 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: we talk all the time about how improved you know, 612 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: many of the teams are in the AFC, But you 613 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: just have this feeling that, come, you know, January twenty 614 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: second or whenever that AFC Championship game is played, that 615 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady and the Patriots are gonna be 616 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: going to face somebody. They're they're gonna be there and 617 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 1: and uh and who knows, maybe it'll be here, you 618 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: know over in Carson and so um, you know, I 619 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: think that that that's what I'm looking forward to this season. 620 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: There's you know, maybe I think we've been looking for 621 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: the changing of the guard, you know, and and who 622 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: knows how long you know, Breeze and Brady and Rogers 623 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: can hold it down. But with the Philip Rivers, you know, 624 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: obviously because there's so many there's so many good young quarterbacks. 625 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: But Drew Brees, yeah, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, they're still 626 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: the best. They're still the best, still the best, and 627 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: they're the best for a reason. Yeah, And and I 628 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: want to see if these young guns that we've been 629 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: talking about, whether it's Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson or 630 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, can they be consistent now? Can they be 631 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: consistently great and show, um, you know, over time that 632 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: they can be good like the four that we just 633 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: talked about, those veterans, and can they be established stars 634 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: going forward? So that'd be something I'll be looking forward 635 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: to watching. And you know, if the Colts can kind 636 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: of continue what they had with Chargers Week one opponent 637 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: that's special run, Yeah, then we'll know right away what 638 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: a great How about the game Week one? Yeah, you 639 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: get you get some storialized here too. You get you 640 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: got luck first Rivers, You got Frank Ryk who was 641 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: under numbers here he was he was with the Chargers. 642 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianti the offensive order, he was with the Chargers. 643 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: So little familiarity there too. Right, that's gonna be a 644 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: fun one too. And you know, they kind of reminded 645 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: me obviously they started their turnaround a little sooner last 646 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: year and we're able to make the playoffs, you know, 647 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: in that Week seventeen game, but kind of how the 648 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: Chargers started to build in twenty seventeen and really set 649 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: themselves up for last year and hopefully they can do 650 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: it again. But I think the Colts are in that 651 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: same way where they they kind of maybe surprised some 652 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: people towards the end of the year and looking to 653 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: carry it in and and we'll certainly be tested Week 654 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: one on both sides of the field, So that should 655 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: be a fun one. But you know, there's so much 656 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: talent everywhere. And we've talked before, Chris about how the 657 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: Steelers are going to be looking to bounce back and 658 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: somehow they're always you know, in the mix Browns with 659 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: a lot of hyphend Browns with all the hype and 660 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: putting it all together now. And I think the thing 661 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: that we don't talk about enough with the Browns is 662 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: how strong they are defensively with Miles Garrett, you know, 663 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: looking to have a defensive Player of the Year type 664 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: of season, and with Denzel Ward making the Pro Bowl 665 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: as a rookie, and you know, I think him and 666 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: Derwin James will be the guys that we talk about 667 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: for a long time as far as the special you know, 668 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: backfield members and the defense of that generation. So we 669 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: keep figeting about the raven You get old Thomas mark Ingram, 670 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of Jackson, you know Jackson, continue 671 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: to see his evolution another one of the young guys, 672 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: you know that took a team into the playoffs last year, 673 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: and and they had so much turnover on the defensive 674 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: side of the football. But you know, over the last 675 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: twenty something years, the Ravens have hung their hat on defense, 676 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: and no matter the faces as they've changed, they've still 677 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: been able to produce and develop good players. So I 678 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: would expect nothing less from them. So you got to 679 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: be very competitive and and fun twenty nineteen in the AFC, 680 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: and and I would expect the Chargers to be right 681 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: right in that mix. Man, I can't wait. It's day one. 682 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm ready to get the week one. Let's go, you know, 683 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: let's go.
