1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Its late fifteen to ten touched up Sucker. What's up?

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: Guys?

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly, as always,

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: joined by Matt Money Smith and Money This episode is

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 3: all about the people. We got a ton of questions

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: to recap this, this draft by the La Chargers. I

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: thought it was a very solid draft. You and I

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: talked about Quintin Johnston. Didn't get a chance to catch

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: up on everybody else, So i'll start with you your

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: overarching thoughts on what the Chargers did after Quintin Johnson

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: rounds two through seven.

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, you know, it was an interesting draft.

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: The way it broke.

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 4: There's a bit of a run on receivers in the

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 4: third round. I think they probably might have dipped in,

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: you know, with one of them there, you know, versus

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: Darius in the in the fourth. Clearly they were interested

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: in getting more explosive. You know, we talked about the

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: returner and kind of how they would attack that. So

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: the fact they get Davis in the fourth, yeah, a

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: lot of It's what's interesting, you know, is when you

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: have some of the draft pundits and they're like, oh,

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: that's a little too rich, and it's it's well, they're

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 4: gonna use him as a returner. He's arguably the most

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 4: explosive returner you know in college football last year, So

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 4: that certainly changes the calculus on is he a receiver?

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: Is he a returner?

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: Is he a returner that can then you know, be

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: a featured player and the Jets sweeps and a lot

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: of that eye candy that we always talk about that

31
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: gives so many teams trouble. You know that Andy Reid

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: and Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan use a lot. So

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 4: he's gonna be a nice weapon on that front. Love

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: the two defensive picks in the second and third, you

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: know toey Polo two. We talked about him repeatedly. I

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 4: think when you go and you watch Henley, there's a

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: lot of Drew Trankwill there. You know someone that is,

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: you know, a safety, an athlete that became a linebacker

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: that really you know, had when you look at his

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: total number of snaps versus what his production was an

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: incredibly deductive player. And then you know McFadden who very

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: much like Jamari Sawyer, you know, can play one through

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: probably you know, could play both guard, both tackle positions.

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: Is kind of that swing, then maybe you were looking

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: for with high miss and and now his clock is

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 4: ticking a little bit, so you get someone like McFadden there.

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: Matt Locke I think fits the the high kind of

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: that high character profile. You know, someone that was the

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: captain of a Boise State team that dominated their conference

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: and certainly had a lot of explosive plays on his

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: ledger against some high level competition too. You know, Fresno

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: State had a really good game against Hayner and and

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: Fresno State. You know, the dug and pick I thought

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: was curious. I just was like, wow, that's interesting, you know,

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: to take another quarterback when you feel really good about

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: that room with Easton and Herbert. But then you heard

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: what Tom had to say that yeah, they want to

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: have an extra quarterback in camp, maybe even four. So

59
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: so yeah, overall, I thought it was solid. I think

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: your your drafts are always graded on your first round pick.

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: You know, first and foremost and most importantly, you have

62
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: to hit on your firsts. And I think Tom in

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: his career has done a really good job at hitting

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 4: on the firsts. And I think, you know, there's there's

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: a couple of misses in there, but that's going to

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: be the case. You're always going to have misses. You know,

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 4: half the guys make it, half of them don't. But

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: the fact that he's connected on so many I think

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: has has been a testament to sort of what he sees.

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: So I think going back to what we talked about

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: with Quintin and and kind of how he's going to

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: turn out is probably gonna be how you're going to

73
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: grade this draft, no doubt about it.

74
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: Everybody's happy. All thirty two teams are happy right now.

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: They thought they did an excellent job, right They think

76
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: that their team has improved markedly, and it's the jury's

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 3: going to be out on all these guys. Frankly, Yeah,

78
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: I love what they did defensively though. Money you know,

79
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: we talked about the need for finding that next young

80
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: edge player and they stay home for it. And you know,

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: totally if you've watched him play man, he's unbelievable. His

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: motor doesn't stop. And when you look at Joey and

83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: Khalil and their age and the fact that they've missed games,

84
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna see a lot of playing time his rookie season.

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: So I was really excited about that pick. Henley was

86
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: another guy. He hadn't played linebacker. I think he's been

87
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: playing the position since twenty twenty, so he's he started

88
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: on offense in high school. I mean, this guy is like,

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: like you said, he's just a freak athlete. And you

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 3: know what I loved about him is just that infectious

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: enthusiasm to want to he wants to be great. You know,

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: I saw the FaceTime with him in Derwin and he

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: just he just seems like a guy that you know,

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: you know, Darwin's going to take him under his wing.

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't be surprised if he's he kind of

96
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: gets into into the rotation a little bit. Obviously, Kendricks

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: and Murray the linebackers as we speak today, But I

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised at all if we see lot of

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: Henley the first his first year, and you know, Jack

100
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 3: Campbell was the linebacker that the Lions took. Look at

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: Dan Brugler's like top list, I think Henley's right next

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 3: to him. So it's really in the eye of beholder

103
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: in terms of okay, Henley went in the third round,

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: Jack Kimbell went the first round. But it's all about fit,

105
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: It's all about what a team thinks of you. So

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, there's so much made about Jamir Gibbs and

107
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: going at twelve, but we didn't put together. They didn't

108
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: want Swift on the team anymore, and they thought that

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: Gibbs was the missing piece offensively. So you can't knock

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: teams for picking players where they picked them if they

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: fit your system certainly.

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: Look, I think you know a lot there. You hit

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: on a lot of great points one And I was

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: kind of looking off screen because I was digging it

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: up because I wanted to make sure I had it right.

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: Because it is weird when you think about the COVID

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 4: year and and all the transfer portals. You know, Henley

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: is a transfer you know two Polo two is a

119
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: rare player because he is twenty years old. He did

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: not He's not a transfer portal guy twenty. He is

121
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: a you know, in terms of the NFL, he is

122
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: a much like Isaiah Spiller last year. This is a

123
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: young a sending player. So to be able to get him,

124
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: he's going to turn twenty one right before the season starts,

125
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 4: you know, contrast that with Henley, who's twenty three right now.

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 4: Because of the transfer portal, because the COVID year and

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: all that. So that's something to keep in mind, you know,

128
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: when you're talking about, you know, to Pulotu and some

129
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: people that you know, I want to point out, well,

130
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: a lot of that production was in this one.

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: Whatever.

132
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: The guy's got a high motor, he's got long levers,

133
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: he can play inside out. You can kick Joey inside

134
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: and have him outside on a lot of those pass

135
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: rushing downs.

136
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: And I think it's a great point.

137
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: You know, we saw with with Chris Rump in the

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: hopes of his development that maybe it's just not quite

139
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: there yet. You know, it's still not quite there, so

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: you gotta just keep filling. You gotta continue to build

141
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: those lines. And I think that's something with that second

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 4: round pick. Now, had one of those tight ends slipped,

143
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: I think they would have taken them. I think had

144
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: had Laporta slipped, I think you know, had Mayor slipped,

145
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: I think you absolutely would have seen them taken one

146
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: of those guys. Because I know he was at you know,

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: musk Grave. Tom was asked about that afterwards, and he

148
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: just said, look, that's just the way the board works.

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: And I think that's where you you do believe best

150
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 4: player available, you know, and I think the first rounds

151
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: a little bit different because again, you really want to

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: hit on those first round picks. So that's that's where

153
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: maybe things get a little bit different. But as you

154
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: look at the second defense, you know, pass rusher, as

155
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: you get to the third linebacker, special team like Henley

156
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: is going to be.

157
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how much.

158
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 4: He's going to play on defense with the signing of Kendricks,

159
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: you know, and I just think we're going to see

160
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: a lot of that sort of one linebacker dime, you know, Derwin,

161
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: And that's if things go great, if J. T. Woods

162
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: can get on the field with a lowie and Derwin

163
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: can almost be that second linebacker. I'm not sure how

164
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: much we're gonna see Henley, but I think he could

165
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: be a force on special teams when we saw how

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: important special teams was last year, and I think that's

167
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: a big reason why Davis ends up getting drafted uh

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: in the fourth The one thing I found kind of

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: interesting was, you know, all these players from TCU, the

170
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: three players from TCU, when when you look at rosters,

171
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: the big twelve has really kind of been down in

172
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: terms of just sort of where they are in the

173
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: context of the SEC and the big ten. And even

174
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: when you look at the Chargers roster, right you're talking

175
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: about Kenneth.

176
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Murray, J T.

177
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Woods and well, I guess Dicker, but he's you know,

178
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: it's the kicker from Texas. Oh Amen is from Oklahoma State.

179
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: It's not a big twelve. A lot of big twelve

180
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: guys out there. So the fact that what did you

181
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 4: make it for three?

182
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: What did you make a three TCU guys going really

183
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: on the same unit, you know, it's it's just interesting.

184
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: It's it's interest. And I think that's something that that

185
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: you know, we talked about last week, that that I'm

186
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: just you know, I'm again I'm fighting my own bias,

187
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 4: like I'm not a big twelve guy like it that

188
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: that conference scares me.

189
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: It just does. They're so you know, I work.

190
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: With with with Petros on the radio and he calls

191
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: college football games and he told me a funny story

192
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: he was doing. I might have even told on the

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: podcast before because it cracks me up. But he was

194
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: doing a Texas well I shouldn't even say the teams, right,

195
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: So he's doing a big twelve game and the guy

196
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: says to him, the defensive coordinator in the production meeting Petros.

197
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: All I gotta do is get two stops, that's it,

198
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: and we'll win the game.

199
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: And I can't get them. Like that's.

200
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: That's how bad defense is in the Big Twelve. And

201
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 4: when you look at you know, when you look at

202
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: corners safeties, there's none. There are none. There were three

203
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: corners drafted this year out of the Big twelve, one

204
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: in the second Brents from Kansas State, and then I

205
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: think two and the seventh. You know, you had one

206
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: safety drafted out of the Big Two safeties drafted out

207
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: of the Big twelve, both in the seventh round. The

208
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: Big twelve, no like that, there is nothing. So that's

209
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: where you know, I just get a little bit scared.

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, TC, you had a great run and

211
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 4: they played really good football, but man hey, no defense

212
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: being played in in the Big twelve. So you know,

213
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: it's just kind of funny how it works out. And

214
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: I think that's what's sort of interesting right about the

215
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: two receivers they took, is you've got Quinton Johnston, who

216
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: is going to be measured against A Flowers and Jordan Addison,

217
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. They were taking you know, and

218
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: Jackson Smith, Najigbu who was taken right before him. Those

219
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: four receivers will be graded against one another their entire careers.

220
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Who got it right? They're not all gonna make it.

221
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: They're just they're not that. That's that. I hope they do.

222
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: I hope every single one of them has a successful

223
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 4: career and those young men make a ton of money

224
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: and have great careers. I would love to see that happen.

225
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 4: I'd say it ain't gonna happen. So they're going to

226
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: be judged. Front offices are going to be judged on

227
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: which one they decided to take.

228
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: Same thing.

229
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: The interesting thing is with with Darius Davis too, right

230
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: as he kind of got picked in this little this

231
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: little window with Charlie Jones out of Purdue and Tyler

232
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: Scott out of Cincinnati, and you know it's different because

233
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: it's fourth rounders, and like you said, you know, teams

234
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: are looking for something different, right, you know, like, oh, yeah, well,

235
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: yes we took him, but he's a better returner than

236
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: Charlie Jones. Yeah, I know, Charlie Jones has all these

237
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: targets and all this incredible production at Purdue, but he's

238
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: not half the returner that Darius Davis is, So it's

239
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: it's funny when you unpack it that way.

240
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's all, you know.

241
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: And I thought you brought up a great point with

242
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: Jamior Gibbs people attacking the Lions for taking him. I

243
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 4: know for a fact there were two other teams in

244
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 4: the top twenty that would have taken him. I wouldn't

245
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: be surprised if the Chargers would have taken him at

246
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: twenty one. He was very he was highly regarded in

247
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 4: this draft, so.

248
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: There were reports that that people had a higher grade

249
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: on him than Bejeon, and you could you know, that's

250
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: those were the reports. I don't know what's true, but

251
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: obviously the Lines felt comfortable moving out of six, not

252
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: taking Bjeon and getting some.

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: That's the interesting part of all that. It's like, man,

254
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: you're that's you could have taken it. You're taking a

255
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: running back and you could have had bees Like That's

256
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: the one where I'm like, I just can't agree with

257
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 4: you there.

258
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: I saw a little bit of Brad Holmes's press conference

259
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: and he said Jon is a bell cow.

260
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: We needed something a little bit different.

261
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: So I makes no sense. Yeah, well that makes no

262
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: sense to me. Why would we want a Bell Coyle

263
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: when we can get someone who's not reliable.

264
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: For the only thing I can think of is okay,

265
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: they they got David Montgomery and Gibbs is a perfect

266
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: compliment to him.

267
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 4: I don't know, whatever, give me Bjeon all day. That's

268
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: the one part that I just don't understand. Yeah, anyway, again,

269
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: look you said it like the Campbell thing, the Campbell thing,

270
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: like he's just a total Dan Campbell player, like those

271
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: two it's coincidence they got the same last name, because

272
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: my goodness, they are exactly the same guy. And that's like,

273
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes that's sort of what you what you

274
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: like the whole like the whole will Anderson thing. You know,

275
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: it's not just the on field production. You know, Demico

276
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: Ryans is trying to change everything in the Texans organization,

277
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 4: change the culture. So like that's I now have my

278
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: leader of the offense. I now have my leader of

279
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 4: the defense. Let's create some culture, set a foundation and

280
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 4: build from there. And so you know, we're not here

281
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: to judge. Congratulations to Gibbs, stoked for him and all

282
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: those guys.

283
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: You know, just to keep going on that just the

284
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: fifth thing, you know, Washington last year took Johan Dotson,

285
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: and everyone was like, why did they take Johan Dotson.

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Over some of these other wide receivers that were on

287
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: the board. Dotson had a pretty good rookie year.

288
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: They took Emmanuel Forbes this year because they needed ball production,

289
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: they needed to pick sick, they needed somebody to make

290
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: plays on the football when there were a lot of

291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: other corners that I think were highly rated on most

292
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 3: people's boards outside the NFL, certainly with mock drafts. So again,

293
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: it's in the eye of the beholder. We're not gonna

294
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: be able to judge these draft classes for a number

295
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: of years.

296
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: But we do have a lot of questions.

297
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: If fans will they they'll they'll judge it right away, Chris,

298
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: they're already judging it.

299
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they are judging it. And we'll get to

300
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: a couple of questions. You know, this is like kind

301
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: of a two for one. This is from Chris, who

302
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: does the team view as starter at deep slash free

303
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: safety and bolts nine four with two roster spots left,

304
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: what post draft editions do you expect or hope to

305
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: see and money I'll kind of like tee this up

306
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: for you. Obviously they want J T. Woods to take

307
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: that step. Right now, it's Irwin James and a lowhi Gilman.

308
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: But if J T.

309
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: Woods can be the player that I think they envisioned

310
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: him being when they drafted him in the third round,

311
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: you'd want him to be the deep free safety, right.

312
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: John Johnson is another guy that we hear about, and

313
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: I know that there's maybe a couple of spots left

314
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: that the charges can pursue.

315
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he's an option.

316
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: As well, certainly, you know, and that's where I think coach,

317
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: you know, coaches versus front office comes into play. You know,

318
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: it's how much money do we have? I kind of

319
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: gave you all these guys you wanted last year, and

320
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: it's going to be very hard to do that this

321
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: year because of sort of you know, the big swings

322
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: that you took last year. So it'll all come down

323
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: to what does John Johnson want?

324
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, J T.

325
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: Woods is who they'd like to see there obviously without

326
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: nas and that not working out a second round pick.

327
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 4: You hate to see that, and you know you wish

328
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: him well as he's already you know, out of the

329
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: NFL and decided that he didn't want to do this anymore.

330
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: So they hope it's JT. Woods.

331
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: It's a very tough position. We talked about this, you

332
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: hope having a year to figure it out. You brought

333
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: up the great point of it took Mikey Davis a

334
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: year to settle in and all of a sudden was

335
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: exceptional last year his second year in Brandon Staley's when

336
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: you know, there were a lot of shots and I

337
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: shouldn't say shots being fired, but a lot of concerns

338
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: about Mikey, like, yeah, there's a real he's just really

339
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: struggling to figure this out. He played one way. This

340
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: is a different way to play. So you hope that's

341
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: the case with JT. That's what they like. They would

342
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: like to have a LOWI and JT you know, on

343
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: the field. So like we talked about at the start

344
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: of the pod derwin can be that queen on the

345
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 4: chess board if they don't. And look, I think for

346
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: John Johnson, for all those players that are still out there,

347
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: it's just gonna come down to money, you know how.

348
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 4: Obviously Morgan Fox is back because it took a pretty

349
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: low money deal. You know, it took a very affordable

350
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: deal for the Chargers that he was content with So

351
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: I think that's probably going to come into play again

352
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: with all of these veterans that are out there that

353
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: are going to probably start getting signed here in the

354
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: next week or two.

355
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: I got an Instagram question earlier this month about just

356
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: kind of talking about the future of the team in

357
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: different holes and not only looking at twenty twenty three

358
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: but beyond from Stevens. So that's kind of going to

359
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: be the theme of a lot of these questions. Steven

360
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: shoot that question. This one comes from Connor. How many

361
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: snaps does a starting tight end play compared to a

362
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: third string wide receiver?

363
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: And do either of.

364
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: You think Quinton beats out Keenan or Mike for the

365
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: starting job. First of all, no, that's not gonna happen.

366
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 3: Keenan and might going to be the starters. And you know,

367
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: quintin this is this is very interesting because the tight

368
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: the whole thing with the tight end role and should

369
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: they have taken a tight end over Quentin Johnson if

370
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: you're looking in the short term, Gerald Everart's going to

371
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: be that tight end, right And you know, I think

372
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: it's more about Quinton and Joshua Palmer. We're getting a

373
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: lot of Joshua Palmer questions did we forget about Joshua?

374
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 3: He had seventy eight catches, he had some big games

375
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: in the absence of Keenan and Mike last year, or

376
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: Keenan specifically, yea our game.

377
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

378
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 3: I look at the stats last year money and I

379
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: think this. I think that Quinton is going to play

380
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: a big role this year. I think Joshua Palmer is

381
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: as well. And I think the role that Austin Eckler

382
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: played last year is going to be a little bit different.

383
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: He's not going to catch one hundred and six balls

384
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: this year. He's not going to catch a bunch of checkdowns.

385
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: I think Kellen Moore is going to change this offense

386
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: to where they're going.

387
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: More vertical with these guys.

388
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's going to be Quinton Johnson

389
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 3: with more production than Palmer or vice versa, or if

390
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: ever it's going to see more shine, more one on

391
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 3: ones if Mike or Keena goes down with an injury,

392
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: if one of those guys steps in. But I think

393
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: the one thing that we're kind of overlooking is how

394
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: many balls Austin caught and how many of them were checkdowns.

395
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: I think his yards perception was like six point seven, right,

396
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 3: So I think Kellen Moore wants to change that kind

397
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: of a long answer, and I'll let you kind of

398
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: pick it up. In terms of third string wide receiver,

399
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: I think wide receiver three is really what he means.

400
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: Versus a starting tight end.

401
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, start there. Just for people that want to nitpick,

402
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: we know what he means. He means, you know, a

403
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 4: wide receiver three and you know pretty much it's eleven

404
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: personnel most of the time in the NFL. Now you've

405
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: got three wide receivers out there, so don't think of

406
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: it as a third wide receiver. But in three receiver sets,

407
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: is he going to be the guy ahead of Josh

408
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 4: Palmer or Jalen Geiden. He's going to have to fight

409
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: for that spot. You have to look at it beyond

410
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: one year.

411
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: You know.

412
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: You look at the restructuring they did on the contracts

413
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 4: and the contract that Mike signed last off season, and

414
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: there's the potential that he's going to replace one of

415
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: them as an affordable replacement. So that's that's part of it,

416
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 4: the tight end part of the question. So that's interesting, Right,

417
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 4: is he more value? Whild Are you going to get

418
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: more value out of Quinton Johnston over the let's just

419
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 4: even say six years, because if he's really good and

420
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: you can't figure out an extension, you can franchise him

421
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 4: for a single year after the fifty year option and

422
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: you're totally fine. So are you going to get more

423
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 4: out of Quinton for six years than you would Dalton

424
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: Kincaid or Michael Mayer if that would have been your selection.

425
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: I think that's a legitimate question, you know, And I

426
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: think it's a question of where's offense going in the NFL?

427
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 4: What is justin herber most comfortable with? What is the need?

428
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: You know, what are your needs as a football team?

429
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: And I think something to remember, and it's something that

430
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 4: we talked about repeatedly, is that explosive element. And so

431
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 4: many people are pointing out after the draft, you know,

432
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 4: of Johnston and Wyatt. You know, when you start to

433
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: really dig into it, why maybe it makes more sense

434
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: is the yak the explosiveness on those short you know,

435
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: in cutting routes, you know, just sort of the quick

436
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 4: pitch and catch and he's able to go and you

437
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: see a lot of those in his highlight reels. Again,

438
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 4: I think it's important to keep it in context and say, Okay,

439
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 4: what was the competition he was doing it against. But

440
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 4: you look in the playoffs he had that huge catch

441
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 4: and run against Michigan where he was just on a

442
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: shallow cross or caught it and bang, there's that speed

443
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: and he's gone and it's a touchdown. And so the

444
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: Chargers are one of the worst YAK teams in the

445
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: LEA last year. So there's some of that. That's kind

446
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: of where I came in on Zay Flowers and thought

447
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: he was the perfect guy. It's like, hey, this dude

448
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: is like Jalen Waddle, explosive. You're going to get those

449
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: short routes, catch and go, and that's what this team needs.

450
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: And I think they saw that in Quinton. And the

451
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: reason you know that maybe he won out over Za

452
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: is because he then presents that big target downfield. We

453
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 4: know Herbert is really good with big receivers, and so

454
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of where that comes into play,

455
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: you know. And then the other part of that too,

456
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: was it Scott that asked the question about the title.

457
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: I think that's who you said, was that his name

458
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: was Connor. Sorry, And then the other thing Connor is

459
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: is financial is over over the six years. You know, like, look,

460
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: Dalton Schultz was great with the Cowboys last year, right,

461
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: he just signed a one year deal, very affordable one year.

462
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 4: What was it twelve million bucks? I think eleven ten

463
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: million bucks something like that with the Texans. So let's

464
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 4: just say you're gonna move on from Gerald Everett next

465
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: year or you're gonna and now here's Dalton Kincaid taking

466
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: his place as you're tied end number one. Okay, well,

467
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: let's just say the way the contracts are structured, and

468
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 4: I hope it's not the case, but you move on

469
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: from Keenan or Mike, what's it going to cost you

470
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 4: to replace them? If you didn't draft Quinton Johnston, you know,

471
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: you drafted Dalton Kinkaid. Well, now you can't afford these

472
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: two guys anymore because you kick the can down the

473
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: road to get Herbert's extension done. What is it going

474
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: to cost you? And is that player even going to

475
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: be available to you? So that's all of that stuff

476
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: comes into play. You know a lot of it is

477
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: financial positional demand you know in the league, and how

478
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: that all sort of fits into your puzzle of what

479
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: you have on the roster currently. You know, I don't think,

480
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 4: you know, I would be very surprised if if Johnston

481
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: had as good of it. I don't think he's gonna

482
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: have as big of a season as a Flowers. I

483
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: think say it's gonna have a huge season for the

484
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,239
Speaker 4: Ravens just because of how he fits and what they

485
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 4: have on the roster. You know, Rashan Babman. They're still

486
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 4: waiting for him to raise his hand. Odell, we don't know,

487
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 4: you know, what kind of year is he going to have.

488
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: So I think when you look at their room versus

489
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 4: the Chargers room, I've got Mike Williams, We've got Keenan Allen.

490
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: You mentioned Josh Palmer when pressed into action at hundred

491
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: yards season. We know the chemistry that he has. Or

492
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: Jalen Geiden, I think this is more of a long

493
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: term play. Like we know he's rough around the edges.

494
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: We know we got to fix some things, but we believe.

495
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: It's an excellent point man, excellent point on the on

496
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: the wide receiver, because listen, it's the elephant in the room.

497
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: Is the cap number of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

498
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 3: Next year, Keenan Allen turned thirty one on Draft day.

499
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: So of course you want Quentin Johnson to come in

500
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: here and make a huge impact. Those guys are gonna

501
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: be the starters. But this is when we talk about

502
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: the draft and looking towards the future. Twenty twenty four

503
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: is gonna look different in that wide receiver room. Josh

504
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: wa Palmer is gonna be a part of it, Quentin

505
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: Johnson's gonna be a part of it. I would think

506
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: Mike or Keenan is gonna be a part of it.

507
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be very hard to pay both of

508
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: those guys when you look at their cap number.

509
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty.

510
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 4: I mean, look at what DJ's comp was for Quentin Johnston.

511
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: It's Mike Williams. Yeah, I've talked about with Josh. Yeah,

512
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 4: we talked about Josh Palmer that he's trying to emulate

513
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: Keenan Allen.

514
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just put two and two together exactly, you know.

515
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: That's that's what they're hopeful of, is that Josh Palmer

516
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: can be Keenan Allen and that Quentin Johnson can be

517
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: Mike Williams. And now you save yourself forty million dollars

518
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 4: in wide receiver salaries next year.

519
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: All right, But let me lay this one up fews

520
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 3: from old podcast producer Cole Weinstein. Seems to me that

521
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: a lot of these players will be backup rotational roles

522
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: as rookies. Which players have the best chance to make

523
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: a big impact either after earning that starting role or

524
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: in a rotational role. So any of those seven guys,

525
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: I think I take Max dug In out of the equation.

526
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, what do you think we better? Well?

527
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 4: One, we know how important DeAndre Carter. It was last year,

528
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 4: right we talked about it with with Tom and with

529
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: with coach repeatedly every time the guy touched the ball

530
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: on a punt return, he got your first down. So

531
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 4: Darius Davis is going to be your starting punt returner,

532
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: you know. And he's a guy that took how many

533
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: in his college career? I think five five returns to

534
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 4: the house? I think over and kick and punt returns

535
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: to the house. So he's gonna have a chance to

536
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: have a serious impact. Like if if I were to guess,

537
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: he'd be my number one, because right now he's gonna

538
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 4: be your kick and your punt returner. So and if

539
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: if the defense with Khalil Mack and Joey Bosen, Derwin

540
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 4: James and J. C. Jackson, and you know, all these

541
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: guys is as good as we think it can be.

542
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: You're gonna be forcing some punts and as good as

543
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: Ryan Ficken was in his first year, and as good

544
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: as DeAndre Carter was, you know, well, then Davis's gonna

545
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to impact a game, you know, maybe

546
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 4: just even if it's just on a single punt return.

547
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 4: As tight as these as small as these margins are,

548
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: and as tight as these contests are, He's gonna have

549
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: a chance to make a real impact. The other my number,

550
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 4: I guess if we're talking about non special teams, my

551
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 4: number one would be Twey Polo two because they need

552
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: him to be you know that that is a that

553
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: is a role that is available, that is ready, you know,

554
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: because Kyle van Noy is no longer on the roster

555
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: as it stands right now. I hope he comes back.

556
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're trying to figure out a way to

557
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 4: get him back, you know, unless, of course, they can

558
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 4: get a low money deal for Leonard Floyd or you know,

559
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: Yannick and Gakway or one of those other edge rushers

560
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 4: that's out there. But as it stands right now, where

561
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 4: the roster is right now, I think Towey Polo two

562
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: would would be the guy. I would even circle ahead

563
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 4: of Quentin Johnston. I think just because of the lack

564
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: of depth of the injury concerns at that position and

565
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 4: what they're hoping to get out of them.

566
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: Stay on the Darius Davis. This is from John Hills.

567
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: Do you foresee Davis having an impact with the offensive

568
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: season or will his contribution be limited to special teams?

569
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: Is there a Davis comp Kellen Moore has worked with

570
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: in Dallas. I mean it's a load to wide receiver

571
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: room now money, right, Like you know when we go

572
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: in to training camp and are like, Okay, well you

573
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 3: know there's a big battle there.

574
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: No, it's a there's a log jam there.

575
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: Right.

576
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: If Jalen guyten comes back, he's young enough to to

577
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: I think be ready to go after that ACL injury

578
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: in September.

579
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: I mean, you have that speed.

580
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: I think to your point about the gadget plays, maybe

581
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: you move Davis into some of those gadget play situations.

582
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: But he's he's not a big guy, so I think

583
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna take it may take an injury too for

584
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: him to see the offensive side of the ball on

585
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: a consistent basis.

586
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go back.

587
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go back a few years because obviously

588
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: since they had Schultz, they kind of became tight end heavy.

589
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: So if I go back to nineteen, it's Gallup, Cooper

590
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 4: and Cob nobody really there. If I go to twenty,

591
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: it's let's see Cooper, Gallop ceed Lamb.

592
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: So no, not not really.

593
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 4: But you know, that's the great thing about I thought

594
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: Callum Moore made a great point, you know, in his presser,

595
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 4: you know, on his media availability the other day, he's like,

596
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: you know, for people blask and you know, will Kellen

597
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: Moore needs tight ends.

598
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: He's like, well, no, I don't. It's just what we had.

599
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, I'm comfortable working with what we have.

600
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 4: When they had, you know, that the two tight ends.

601
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: They worked with the two tight ends when they had

602
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: you know, Gallup, Cooper and CD. It was a ton

603
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: of eleven personnel, you know, and he worked with those

604
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 4: split backs a lot too, you know, with with twenty

605
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: one personnel when he had both Pollard and Zeke in

606
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: the backfield. So that's the great thing about Kellen Moore's

607
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 4: you oc is adaptability exactly, Like that's what you always

608
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: want from your Yeah, the last thing you want is

609
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: a coach that thinks his scheme is so special that

610
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: the player that displays traits that would excel in a

611
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: different situation are forced into that scheme. Players not place.

612
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: That is what this league is and and has been forever.

613
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 4: So you think you've got it all figured out and

614
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: that your scheme is what wins, No, it doesn't. It's players.

615
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 4: Find a way to put your players in positions to perform,

616
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: and Kellen has shown an incredible ability to do that.

617
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: So the great thing about Davis, just to answer the questions,

618
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: I took a long, circuitous path, which I typically do. Sorry,

619
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: He's going to be active, Yeah, right, exactly. He's going

620
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: to be active every every game day. He's going to

621
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: be active. So because he's your returner, which makes it

622
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: which is great because now if you feel like, you

623
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: know what I think, maybe maybe because we can get

624
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 4: the defense flat footed here, Let's throw Darius out there

625
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: and let's let's run it. Let's run a reverse, Let's

626
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 4: run a jet suite, Let's run you know, half back option.

627
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 4: Let's there's so many things you can do. The second

628
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 4: he steps on the field. His speed is it's it's

629
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: different level, it's cartoon speed. There's a couple of highlights.

630
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 4: You can go to YouTube. You know, people listening, if

631
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: you haven't dug into it, look up Darius Davis highlights

632
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: and you will see what we're talking about. When he

633
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: turns I think it's the Kansas game. He turns the

634
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: corner and it's just like the defensive backs are stuck

635
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: in mud and he's on fast forward. So when you

636
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 4: have that and you're and there's no question Kellen's gonna

637
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: do that. He's going to put that on film just

638
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: so teams have to prepare for it. So every so

639
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 4: when you put him on the field for two or

640
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: five snaps, whatever it may be, it's not going to

641
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 4: be a lot. Not not when you have this kind

642
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: of not when you have Johnston Palmer, Keenan and Mike

643
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: like Darius Davis is not going to be out there

644
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: a lot. It's going to be those moments, and it's

645
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: going to be one of those things you got to

646
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: think about. It's the It'snicole Harmon factor. Every time you

647
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 4: stepped on the field, you're like all right, what are

648
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: they doing with him? So even though he wasn't very productive.

649
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 3: Exactly, if he's on the field, you have to account

650
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: for him at least, you know Gerald ever too, Donald Parum,

651
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: I mean, these are all these pass catchers that the

652
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: Chargers have right now. This is from our buddy Dan Hayfellas.

653
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: Of all the drafted players or udfa's by the Chargers,

654
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: which do you feel is most underrated by fans and

655
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: or pundits?

656
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: You know, mony, I was gonna say Jordan McFadden here.

657
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: Because of his positional versatility and just going back because

658
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: it's so recent in our minds what Jamari Sawyer.

659
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: Had to do in Rashaun Slater's absence.

660
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: Now, not go on Wood, you don't you don't want

661
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: any injuries to this offensive line, but the fact that

662
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: you are continuing to build the O line with a

663
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: guy who has a number of starts under his belt

664
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: at tackle and is probably projected to be a guard

665
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: at the at the NFL level. But I think a

666
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: guy like that who has experience in college a number

667
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: of starts, you add him to an offensive line room

668
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: with Corey Linsley and Rashaun Slater and guys who have

669
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: done it, Zion Johnson who who did it last year,

670
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: and Can and Jamar Sawyer, so two young guys.

671
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: So I would I.

672
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: Would say McFadden, we talk about all the skill position guys,

673
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: but you know, I think it's gonna be important and

674
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: you've preached this to continue to build the offensive line

675
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: as you as we get closer to this, justin Herbert extension.

676
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: It's great.

677
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: Probably would have been my first choice. I think you

678
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 4: hit it on the head, just because we saw Trey

679
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: go down, fought through some injuries. We know he can

680
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 4: play right tackle, left tackle. We know he's built a

681
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: little bit more like a guard. We've seen that athleticism

682
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 4: and those second level blocks from him. So I think

683
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: that's I think that's probably the right answer, just because

684
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 4: guys get hurt and to have someone that can play

685
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: each tack, you know, right left tackle, right left guard,

686
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: if everything works out, huge, huge to have that available

687
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: to you. And we saw it last year with Jamari

688
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: Sawyer and the fact that he's going to kick inside

689
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: to guard, and you.

690
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: Know what, don't be surprised. There's a little bit competition there.

691
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 4: You know, maybe maybe there is competition between McFadden and

692
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: it's all year for that right guard spot. He's a

693
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: big dude, and he's an athletic guy. And you saw

694
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 4: some of those second level blocks that he was that

695
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: he was doing when he was at Clemson, because you

696
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: know with DJ who under lay back there, you know,

697
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: in a running quarterback, you saw him at the whole

698
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: blocks for a little while get downfield when DJ talked

699
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 4: it clean out some second level guys.

700
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: Who was able to do that?

701
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,760

717
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: Nowgo Scott Matt Locke. Just to continue the conversation, the

718
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 4: defensive tackle sixth round. Watching him is a lot of

719
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 4: fun because his one he's violent. He's a big dude.

720
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 4: He's got heavy hands, He stacks and sheds, and he's

721
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 4: making plays in the run game, just kind of keeping

722
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: his eye on those gaps and figuring out which way

723
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: he's gonna jump. His motor's ridiculous. He's chasing quarterbacks down,

724
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, when they're reversing field, even though he's three

725
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: hundred and ten pounds and you've got Joey Boson Khalil

726
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 4: Mack on the outside, so you know you're gonna have

727
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: opportunities on the inside. We saw that with Morgan Fox

728
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: career high sacks. We saw that when Tito started to flash,

729
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 4: you know, so we know Fojoko had a great back

730
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 4: end of the year. So I think that's something that

731
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: that Tom Tellesco and coach Staley, you know, certainly thought

732
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 4: about that. You know, we do pretty good with these

733
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 4: defensive tackles, you know, whether it was Foster Merril that

734
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: we put in there, like all of these guys were

735
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: able to eat. Well, let's get the captain of the

736
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 4: Mountain West champs and the guy that was the straw

737
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 4: that stirred the drink on defense for the Broncos and

738
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: put him out here with all this talent around him

739
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: and see what we got.

740
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: So he's a lot of fun to watch.

741
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 4: And you know, was able to produce sacks, pressures, tip balls,

742
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: block kicks, a couple of touchdowns. You know, is a

743
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: tackle eligible so or I think he was playing tight

744
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 4: end in a couple of those games. So yeah, it's

745
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: a lot of fun to watch him. So that's one

746
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 4: that I think, maybe especially because of the injuries, right

747
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 4: Austin Johnson Tito a bone, He's someone who very well

748
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 4: could have a couple opportunities out there.

749
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: That's a great one. Great question, Dan, dude, I thought

750
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: we were buzzing through these questions.

751
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: We have so many.

752
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 3: I appreciate you guys.

753
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, I'll keep it shorter. I'll keep it shorter.

754
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: No, No, no, all right, this is this is like

755
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: an off the beaten path when I like this one,

756
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 3: this from Jake Cochran. In Austin rules football, we have

757
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: a father son role which gives clubs priority selection of

758
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: a player whose father played one hundred plus games for

759
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: the team. Could the NFL draft use a rule like

760
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: this to continue seeing family time? Eyes as Porter junior

761
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: with the Steelers.

762
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: Well in our age, at our age, Chris, it's gonna

763
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: start coming into play, right, We're gonna start seeing a

764
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 4: lot of these uh.

765
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: We're starting.

766
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: Rivers.

767
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 4: Is gonna be exactly well, you know, like Ladanian's nephew

768
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 4: got drafted the corner out of TCU in the seventh round,

769
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 4: So we're we're starting to get there where at our age,

770
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 4: we're starting to see a lot of these uh, young men,

771
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: these legacies pop back into the league. So it's interesting.

772
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 4: I kind of like it, but I think, you know,

773
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 4: the NFL would put the onus on the teams. Hey,

774
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: you want them, You're gonna probably have to draft them

775
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 4: around early and celebrate the heck out of them, you know.

776
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: Very cool moment in Dallas, arguably the best moment of

777
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: the draft to see Deuce Vaughan get drafted, you know,

778
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 4: and his dad call him say, how about you drive

779
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 4: me to work tomorrow? Very very cool moment.

780
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody, everybody was a little emotional in that war

781
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: room during that moment. Still, okay, hey, let's see no

782
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: running back drafted or signed through free agency? Is the

783
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 3: plan to run it back with the same three running backs?

784
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: Eckler still waiting for someone to step up. LT and

785
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: Turner had sprolled for a few seasons as a group,

786
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: they lacked dominance last year and couldn't close games out. Okay,

787
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 3: there was another one about Spiller. What do we know

788
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: about Spiller? I think we could just kind of combine

789
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: those questions because it looks like they're going to roll

790
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: with these guys and Austin. I think Tom said that

791
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 3: nobody called about Austin over the weekend. So you got

792
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: josh Ma Kelly, you got Isaiah Spiller, and you got

793
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 3: Austin Eckler. And we don't know much about Spiller, but

794
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 3: we know that he was really good in the SEC

795
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: and he didn't get a lot of run next year

796
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: or last year. So hopefully this year Kellen Moore can

797
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: work with these three guys. It seems like they're comfortable.

798
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

799
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 4: And as I'm going into the thing again, Isaiah Spiller

800
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 4: will turn twenty two on August ninth, so very young,

801
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 4: very young last year. Like we've talked about it before,

802
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: would have liked to have seen him get all the

803
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: carries in that Bronco game in week eighteen, just to

804
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: get an idea. But you could see it in his face,

805
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: you could see it in the in his body. He's

806
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: a big guy six one two fifteen, but not a

807
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: man's body, right, And we saw that transformation of Joshua

808
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: Kelly from year to year. And I guess I don't

809
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 4: know if you've seen him yet, Chris, I have not.

810
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 4: I haven't been out to the facility. But that's what

811
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm hoping to see, that physical transformation of dominant in

812
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: college to you know, an NFL body. And now you

813
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 4: know now that you're on an NFL program, NFL nutrition program,

814
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 4: NFL workout program, granted Texas A and him probably has

815
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: the most money of any program in the entire you know,

816
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 4: Division one college football world, and it's all available to him.

817
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 4: But you're talking about a guy that was, you know,

818
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 4: a kid, he was eighteen nineteen and then just turned

819
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 4: twenty years old, So I think that's something I'm looking

820
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: forward to because he was a really good back in

821
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 4: college and I think maybe they just felt like he

822
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 4: was not quite ready for the Riggers of the NFL

823
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 4: last season, and you know, Austin was having a good

824
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 4: year and Joshua Kelly was having a good year, so

825
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: they had what they felt like was a good running

826
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: back room. But my guess is that's their hope, you know,

827
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 4: and look, hope is great to have. It's got to

828
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: turn into production. But they're hoping that JT. Woods, their

829
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 4: third round pick, and Isaiah Spiller, their fourth round pick,

830
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 4: are ready to take that jump year in year.

831
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: Two, Isaiah was the youngest player drafted last yeareah right? Yes,

832
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: twenty two years old. Do you agree with draft anos

833
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: like Emery Hunt who say Quentin Johnson will fit well

834
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: as a slot guy with Canan and Mike money.

835
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: Is from William.

836
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: So Quentin in the slot, Yeah.

837
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: Quentin in the slot? I think he I mean, he's

838
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: played both.

839
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's the thing.

840
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: Right is a lot of people thought, because of his

841
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 4: size at five nine, that in Less Flowers is going

842
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: to be the next Steve Smith at that size to

843
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 4: have the sort of physicality to be able to play

844
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 4: you know, the the X or the Z. Then he's

845
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 4: just gonna be exclusively in the slot. And that's where

846
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 4: Keenan does most of his damage. So I think that's

847
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why Johnston maybe was the guy.

848
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 4: Is versatility. The fact that you can put him outside,

849
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: you can run him in the slot. You know those again,

850
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 4: those those over routes on the inside, those three by ones,

851
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 4: you know where he can just get that quick hitter

852
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 4: and the yak production was was such a TCU that

853
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 4: that gets people excited. So yeah, I think you're gonna

854
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 4: see him. You're gonna see him in the slot. You're

855
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 4: gonna see him outside because that you know, both of those,

856
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 4: both of those spots, you know, sort of fit with

857
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 4: his skill set. So to answer the question, he's not

858
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 4: an exclusive slot which some guys sort.

859
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: Of are, is not? He can We saw that, We've

860
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: seen him.

861
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 4: Guy's got a forty inch vertical and he's six foot three,

862
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: you know, so yeah, throw him outside and give him

863
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 4: some fifty to fifty balls and let him go and

864
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 4: get them.

865
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 3: Boris the bolt Do you feel comfortable with the death.

866
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: We currently have the offensive line. We kind of just

867
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: talked about that. I think it's getting better and better.

868
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 3: Our guy, j Paul, what are your thoughts on carrying

869
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 3: three quarterbacks? Is it possible Easton or Max could be

870
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 3: going by the final roster? Thanks for the always enjoyable content.

871
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

872
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: Would you would you be comfortable with a seventh round

873
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: pick as the backup quarterback or Easton or would you

874
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: want all three in that room?

875
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 4: That's a great question. I think you know, they've shown

876
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 4: they like carrying three. You know, the question is if you, well.

877
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 3: You know what, Joe, Joe maybe showed that he like

878
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: carrying three. Maybe maybe Kellen things different. I don't know,

879
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 3: but I do think having that extra position on a

880
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: game day or obviously two are going to be active,

881
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 3: but having that extra position on the fifty three I

882
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: think could be beneficial.

883
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.

884
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: It'll come down to whether or not they think Max

885
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 4: gets plucked off the actice squad if he's a developmental

886
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 4: guy and they want to save a million bucks, you know,

887
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 4: a million and a half dollars next year with with

888
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 4: Easton no longer being the backup, If Max can ingratiate

889
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 4: himself with with with Justin, and that's your quarterback room,

890
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 4: then that may be what they're looking at. You know,

891
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 4: you're always you're living on the margins. You know, it

892
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 4: may sound like a small number when you're talking about

893
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 4: two hundred million plus as your salary cap, but it

894
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: all helps. And if you can get rid of a

895
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 4: vet for a rookie contract for four years, that's what

896
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 4: you're always trying to do. Now that Easton has graduated

897
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 4: from his rookie deal to his veteran deal and took

898
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: about a million and a half dollar jump in order

899
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 4: to be the backup.

900
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: Oltville, what do we do with safety if we're not

901
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 3: able to get John Johnson? Who starts? Does Q start

902
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: over Palmer? And how's Money's throwing arm doing? Is he

903
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 3: going to quote Herbert and say his shoulder is about

904
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 3: seventy five percent? Healed? Fine?

905
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, It was fine the next day. It

906
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 4: was that morning, it was sore when I woke up.

907
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: It's fine now though, thankfully bounce back.

908
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 3: We answered, So I just wanted to get that last

909
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 3: one in.

910
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I think Gilman's Ultimately it's gonna be

911
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: Gilman and Durwin or you're starting safeties. You know, you'll

912
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 4: have Kendricks and Kenneth as your starting linebackers and you'll

913
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: run nickel and they'll you know, I got to figure

914
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 4: out who that third corner is. I think ultimately they probably,

915
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: if all things being equal, it'd be J C. Mikey

916
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 4: and then in you know, your your slot corner, your

917
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 4: I should say, your nickel corner is is a sante

918
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 4: is what I'm guessing.

919
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 3: You think Bryce Callahan will come back?

920
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, why not? Right?

921
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 4: I think the injury stuff was a little disconcerting, the

922
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 4: fact that you got banged up there throughout the course

923
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: of the year. But he's still out there, you know, Uh.

924
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of dudes out there. Marcus

925
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 4: Peters is out there, Rocky Scene is out there. Like,

926
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 4: there's still corners out there. So so whether or not

927
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 4: they're comfortable with that, but yeah, I think you go

928
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 4: into let me just kind of get a look here

929
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 4: at the I think ultimately that's what they would want, right,

930
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 4: JT and Mikey on the outside a sante at nickel

931
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: and you know your depth is just ser Dean Leonard

932
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 4: from your draft picks last year you know, Jasir can play.

933
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 4: Maybe they're hoping that Jasir takes another step and he

934
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 4: can play that nickel position with Asante on the outside

935
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 4: with Mikey and then JC comes back. So that's what

936
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 4: I'm guessing they're trying to do. But up top, yeah,

937
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 4: I mean Aloi is the is. I think slotted is

938
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 4: the high safety with Derwin is the box eaten.

939
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 3: Why not bring Callahan back? We just talked about that.

940
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 3: Let's see Brandon. A lot of Chargers draft media talked

941
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 3: about getting players in the draft with high floors and

942
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: low ceilings. Do you think the draft was balanced in that.

943
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 4: Aspect high floors, low, Well, I would disagree with that.

944
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 4: I think Quinton is a is a home run swing.

945
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 4: I think that's definitely. I think your high floor would

946
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 4: have been Zay or Jordan Addison. You know, I think

947
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 4: those are more of your high floors, not quite as

948
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 4: high as the ceiling Johnston. You're you're projecting, Hey, this

949
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 4: guy's pretty raw, but he can be something really special

950
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 4: and we'll take the risk.

951
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: I think Henley's like a high ceiling guy too. He's

952
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 3: played the position for two years.

953
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, one hundred percent. Same with Darius Davis. Right,

954
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 4: that's you're you're you're you're spending a fourth round pick

955
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: on a returner. I mean, that's that's a home run swing.

956
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, we're you know, fourths or those are starters.

957
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 4: Those are guys you're hoping can end up as starters.

958
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: So I think to to take a.

959
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 4: Kick returner punt returner in the fourth is is a

960
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 4: pretty big swing, so you know. But then at the

961
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 4: same time, Yeah, Matt Locke, McFadden, those are high floor guys.

962
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 4: You know that they probably are what they are and

963
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 4: you like the way they fit with what you do.

964
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm not so sure if it was if

965
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 4: I would call that high floor just because twey Polow

966
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 4: two's so young. So and I think, you know, like

967
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: you said, Henley's just transferred from Nevada and you know,

968
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 4: really kind of took off with Washington State, like you said,

969
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 4: just kind of getting settled in. So yeah, I would

970
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 4: think it's more I would think there were more bigger

971
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 4: swings than safe picks.

972
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 3: This is from John Bingham. How much influence do coordinators

973
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: have with determining a selection? I think the front office

974
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 3: has the final say, but I guarantee you. Kellen Moore

975
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: was asked his opinion of Quentin Johnson.

976
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: I know that.

977
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll tell you this, like if I were

978
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 4: to answer, if I were to give you an honest answer,

979
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 4: I would say very little. Just because you know, you've

980
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 4: got a scouting department. These guys are watching these players

981
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 4: for three hundred and sixty five days a year, you

982
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 4: know the cord coaching. They're coaching the guys they got

983
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 4: there watching film with their opponents for tendencies, like that's

984
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 4: their job. Their job is to coach the players that

985
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 4: they're given. Now it's possible before the draft that they

986
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 4: flip Kellen Moore, Hey, can you just kind of give

987
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 4: us your Here's the problem with asking guys to weigh

988
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 4: It's a very delicate balance. Right, you don't want them

989
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 4: to feel like they're not part of the process. But

990
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 4: if you involve them too much and say, hey, which

991
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: guy do you like and they give you someone that

992
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 4: you don't take, well, then they feel.

993
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: Like, well, what the hell do you ask me for?

994
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: So it's it's mostly scouts.

995
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 4: It's scouts, and it's you know, and it's Kevin, and

996
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: it's Jojo, and it's Tom and those are the guys

997
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 4: that are making that make up ninety percent, John Spanos,

998
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 4: they make up ninety percent of these decisions. The other

999
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: ten percent is Brandon Staley and his staff metaverse hero.

1000
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: This is I love this question because everyone's just looking

1001
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 3: ahead of twenty twenty four. Now, have you guys watched

1002
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: tape on brock Bauer? Is he the number one priority

1003
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 3: DAXT year for the Chargers? So we're we're talking, We're talking.

1004
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: I hope not.

1005
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 4: My god, They'll have to have one of the five,

1006
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,919
Speaker 4: probably five worst records in the league if they're gonna

1007
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 4: get their hands on them. I mean, brock Bowers on

1008
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 4: the top ten. So let's hope.

1009
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: No.

1010
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 4: I would hope they have absolutely zero chance of getting

1011
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 4: their hands on him. Yeah, And that's the funny thing,

1012
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 4: like about Darnette, Like, you know, speaking of Boers, you

1013
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 4: know about Washington and everyone like.

1014
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: Why is he sip? What is going on? Why are

1015
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers not taking Washington? Well, clearly there was medical.

1016
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 4: There's there was a medical So that's that's why you know,

1017
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 4: those things happen. But yeah, brock Bauer is is gonna

1018
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: be like a Kyle Pitts selection. He's gonna end up

1019
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 4: getting taken in in the top probably seven eight picks.

1020
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 3: Final one and we kind of covered this, but Jared robertson,

1021
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: do you feel like Josh Palmer is being undervalued by

1022
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 3: the fans in media? I keep hearing Alan Williams Johnson

1023
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 3: and it's bugging me. Palmer had a couple of huge

1024
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: games when he was our wide receiver one last year,

1025
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 3: go back specifically to that Atlanta game where he basically

1026
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 3: helped he won the game for the huge throughout the

1027
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: throughout the thing. I think it's just you're getting You're

1028
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 3: stacking Justin Herbert with weapons and he's going to find

1029
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 3: the open guy, right Like, That's pretty much why they

1030
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: got Quentin Johnson. Keep getting weapons for Justin Herbert.

1031
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I don't. I think it's a fair question,

1032
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 4: you know. I think it's just wide receivers. We've talked

1033
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 4: about it that they are all cut from a different cloth.

1034
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 4: So what is Josh Palmer compared to what is Quentin Johnston?

1035
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 4: They're different, you know. Josh does not have the same

1036
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 4: sort of speed or acceleration or athleticism that Quentin does.

1037
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 4: Josh is a much better route runner than Johnston. Josh

1038
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 4: has much better hands than Johnston, but he doesn't have

1039
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 4: that extra gear after the catch. He doesn't have that

1040
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 4: top end speed to take the top off a defense.

1041
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 4: So it's nothing against Josh. It's just they need those things,

1042
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 4: you know, they need the threat that this guy's going

1043
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 4: to catch the ball and take it to the house.

1044
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: You know, if your defense, if your defense is misaligned

1045
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 4: and he gets a quick slant, he's got the potential

1046
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 4: to go to the house. If you single cover him

1047
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 4: on the outside because you're shading safety help toward Mike,

1048
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 4: then he's got the potential to beat the corner, win

1049
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 4: a jump ball, and take it to the house. So

1050
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 4: that's nothing against Josh. It's just a different He's a

1051
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 4: different type of receiver. So I don't think it's a

1052
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 4: slide on Palmer at all.

1053
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 3: All right, Money, I think we got through most of

1054
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 3: the questions. You know, I feel like the last few

1055
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: months we've been living in this what if Austin Eckler

1056
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 3: is not a Charger. It's very possible, who knows, maybe

1057
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 3: he does get traded, but I'm going to assume he

1058
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 3: is a Charger right going into the twenty twenty three number,

1059
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 3: and I think we should just try to move forward

1060
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 3: as if Austin is going to be on this team,

1061
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 3: and we haven't really talked about his fit in Kellen

1062
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 3: Moore's system, and we have broken down all these wide

1063
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: receivers and the tight ends on this team. I'm wondering

1064
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: how Kellen is going to use Austin and how different

1065
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: it's going to be from how Joe Lombardi used Austin,

1066
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 3: and I kind of alluded to it with the amount

1067
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: of catches he had. I don't think he's gonna have

1068
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and six catches this year. But I'm wondering

1069
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 3: what positions Kellen Moore is going to put Austin in

1070
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 3: when he has all these other weapons on the outside.

1071
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be fascinating.

1072
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 4: Well, one thing we know about Austin is he's incredibly strong,

1073
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 4: you know he is, and has the ability to run

1074
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 4: between the tackles. He shed's first contact. He's got great vision.

1075
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 4: So again, I think whatever system Kellen wants to run,

1076
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 4: however he wants to use Eckler, we know how much

1077
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 4: he likes to run the ball, how balanced he wants

1078
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 4: to be, and I would suspect that you're going to

1079
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 4: see him use Austin like he used Zeke and like

1080
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 4: he used Tony Pollard. I think Austin's plenty strong enough,

1081
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 4: very good at absorbing contact, shaking it off, and getting

1082
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 4: yards after contact. You know, he's a smaller back, so

1083
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 4: you want to protect him. You know, you don't want

1084
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 4: him to take too many hits and wear down. I

1085
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 4: think if you were to ask Kellen like best case,

1086
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 4: it's yeah, I've got a rotation just like he had

1087
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 4: in Dallas, where he can split it fifty to fifty.

1088
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 4: Be it Josh, be it Isaiah Spiller, you know. And

1089
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 4: I think you'll see like you saw in Dallas, two

1090
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 4: guys too, you know, some twenty two, some twenty one,

1091
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: where you've got two backs out there, and Austin, you know,

1092
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 4: starts in the backfield, motions out into the slot, maybe

1093
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 4: goes why to the numbers, you know, forces a linebacker

1094
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 4: out in coverage where he's really got an advantage. So

1095
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see a lot of that.

1096
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 4: But I have full faith that Austin can do anything

1097
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 4: that Kellen Moore would ask of any of the backs

1098
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 4: he had in Dallas. There's I just cannot, for the

1099
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: life of me envision him being traded now, it would

1100
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 4: have had to have happened before the draft, you know,

1101
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 4: getting twenty twenty four draft capital for a guy that

1102
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: had the most touchdowns in the NFL the last two

1103
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 4: seasons by fourteen or twelve or whatever it was.

1104
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: That's not happening.

1105
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 4: He's going to be a charger, and you hope they

1106
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 4: can figure something out so he's not this gruntled and

1107
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 4: sits out all of training camp and isn't able to

1108
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 4: go and learn, you know, and get you know, adapted

1109
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 4: to this new offense because it's a new coordinator, new verbiage,

1110
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 4: new style of this wide zone, you know, a new

1111
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 4: style of running. Like they need him there so they

1112
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 4: got Hopefully they can both sides can figure something out

1113
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 4: to make this workable this season and maybe even another

1114
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 4: season or two beyond.

1115
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the business of football, and I get it,

1116
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: but I think for Austin it's rightly it's in Austin's

1117
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 3: best interest to get in and learn this system and

1118
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 3: have the best year he could possibly have so he

1119
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: can go into free agency next year, right and get

1120
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 3: what he feels he deserves. Right, He'll have another crack

1121
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 3: at it after this year, and with all these weapons

1122
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 3: that we talked about throughout the last sixty minutes. I mean,

1123
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: he's going to have some opportunities to do similar things

1124
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 3: and he may not have to have the stats that

1125
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 3: he had last year to be as effective. It's all

1126
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 3: about winning, too, right, Like they need to have a

1127
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: winning program here, and if they win a playoff game

1128
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: or two and Austin has a good year, I tell

1129
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: you what, that probably means more to teams than just stats.

1130
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 2: You know, stats are hope.

1131
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 4: So you know, it's unfortunately Austin I think, recognizes the

1132
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 4: state of the NFL and he recognizes you know, I

1133
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 4: need I need to get my money. You know, I've

1134
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 4: got to be able to get my money because the

1135
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 4: reality of me getting it after next year probably I've

1136
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 4: got to sign that deal before I turn thirty. You know,

1137
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: it's bad enough past the age of twenty eight when

1138
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 4: you're a running back. But you know when you're talking

1139
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 4: about when you're talking about Austin as a run back,

1140
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 4: he is. I just want to make sure I got

1141
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 4: it right.

1142
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 3: He is.

1143
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 4: So he'll be twenty eight. He's actually, Oh it's funny.

1144
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 4: He's on the same date as my wife. He'll be

1145
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 4: twenty eight in a week, So he wants to get

1146
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 4: that deal before he gets on the other side of

1147
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 4: twenty eight twenty nine.

1148
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: You know.

1149
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 4: That's why, like I said, I hope there's a way

1150
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 4: that they can figure this out, give him a year

1151
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 4: or something like that.

1152
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: But who knows.

1153
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, his first two years in the League two.

1154
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean just you look at the production, it's it's

1155
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 3: increasingly going right. But in terms of carries, it's not

1156
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 3: like he's he's never close to like two fifty three hundred.

1157
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 3: I mean his you know, he does so much in

1158
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 3: the past game too, but just looking at.

1159
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 4: It, he'll think that carries its touches. Yeah, it's the touches,

1160
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 4: you know, but the receptions. You're talking about what two

1161
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 4: hundred and four kres, So it's three hundred and eleven touches.

1162
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: It's a lot. Yeah, that's that's a lot.

1163
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 4: So I can understand guy wants his money three hundred

1164
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 4: eleven touches at twenty seven.

1165
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: Man, help me out here.

1166
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, dude. Well that was a fun little

1167
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 3: little recap of the draft. As always, guys, you guys

1168
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 3: make the show go. Appreciate the support and all the questions.

1169
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: We love doing that. I like doing doing that like

1170
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: once a month. Man, just sure, of course, great gains.

1171
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 3: And now I guess we'll continue to dive into the draft.

1172
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 3: But we got the schedule release coming up. We could

1173
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 3: dive into the games. The matchup's funny.

1174
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: I know it's from tomorrow, is schedule release.

1175
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, week from tomorrow.

1176
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 4: We'll probably do this, Probably have to do this, maybe

1177
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 4: a day later next week. Make sure we get that

1178
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: sweet Charger video. Whatever they're going to do this year.

1179
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 3: We'll react to that. It will circle. Yeah, let's see

1180
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: that Friday. I think Friday would be good for that.

1181
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: Or we'll double up whatever, We'll figure it out.

1182
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 3: We'll figure it out. We've got a lot to talk about.

1183
