1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: The late fifteen ten touchdown. Well, Happy game Day and

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: welcome into a week two edition of Chargers Weekly on

3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: the road in Kansas City, alongside Matt Money, Smith, Chris

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: Hayry and Money. I think this was your idea, do

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: it game day, get people excited. You know, we're doing

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: this really early Kansas City, so the pottle drop pretty early,

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: late time. People are jacked up. It's kind of just

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: a little pre game for the folks. You know, it's

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday. We could do the recap of the Raiders game,

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's better just to kind of obviously

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: we'll lean on that a little bit, but just kind

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: of get the people of primers. It's a primetime game tonight,

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: first to five. The Chargers have this season and getting

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: ready to roll. It's gonna be a it's gonna be

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: a great game. We were with the Amazon folks last night.

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, they've been here seemingly forever for like four

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: months getting ready for this thing. So why not why

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: not get a look at you know, since Justin herb

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: it's been the starting quarterback. You look at these four

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: matchups that they've played, and obviously you take the one

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: out on the Chiefs arrested all their starters. But those

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: are the three games have been as great of games

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: as we have seen in these two years that Justin's

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: been the starter. Yeah, two overtimes and then I think

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: the game winner with thirty two seconds left the fourth quarter, right,

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: exactly unbelievable. I was in my room last night. I

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: figured I would have put out a little tweet to

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the fans, and I got like thirty one questions. There

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: we go, so we made I get to all thirty one,

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: but some of them are around the same way. We'll

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: talk about this matchup in depth, but we could quickly

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: go over last Sunday. I thought it was a pretty

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: complete when obviously the offense stoled a little bit in

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: the second half, but what they did in the first half,

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: combined with special teams and just the defense's effort, was awesome. Yeah.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'll start with two things that

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: not a lot of people are talking about, and that's

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: one is Zion. You know, I wanted to go back

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: because it felt like when you're watching the game in

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the moment that he was having a really good game,

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and when you go back and watch it, uh, he

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: had a really good game. Uh, that's that's gonna be

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. The one issue that was kind

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: of interesting is they still really struggled to run the

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: ball to the right side. Um. It was that was

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: an issue, and running the ball was an issue. Um,

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, but they tried to stay balanced, you know,

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Coach Lamberdi tried to stay balanced. It was just it's

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: kind of an odd game from that standpoint. Felt like

50
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: there was a lot more work out there for for Austin.

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Then he got um, you know, there were a set

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: screen pass they ended up getting like eighteen yards on UM.

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: So I would expect to see more Austin Eckler in

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: this Chiefs game. Felt like there was some stuff left

55
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: out there for him. Um. But in terms of just

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: pass blocking, a thought Zion did a great job. And

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: then other side of the ball, you know, obviously six

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: sacks and Khalil with three including the you know strip

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: sack to end the game. But man in the middle

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: of that line really collapsed the pocket. Like Austin and

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Sebastian and Morgan Fox, they they had great push on

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: the interior that line, and that's what led Car I think,

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: to just kind of hold the ball and not get

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: it out quick enough. He couldn't find a comfortable pocket,

65
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: and that allowed I think Joey and Khalil to come

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: off the edges and really wreck shop. Stopping the run too.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think I saw in Staley's miked

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: up Sebasti just fit at the end of it's like

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: sixty four yards or whatever. They're just showing him, Hey,

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: we stopped the run. Raiders didn't really make too much

71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: of an effort to run the football. They couldn't and

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: they couldn't. Yeah, the entire first half, I think it

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: was seven carries for fourteen yards, and there were sixteen

74
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: yards something like that in the first half. So that

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that when you're talking about

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: one hand washing the other, like go back to last year,

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: what are the issues on third down? Well, they're third

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: and twos, they're third and ones, they're third and threes

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: because they're ripping off five yards per carry. You know,

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: this one against the Raiders, it's third and nine, third

81
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: and eleven, third and twelve. You know, all right, pen

82
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: your ears back, let's go get them. So that was

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: super effective, and now you know why they remade the

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: interior of that line so you could set up that

85
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: pass rush on these obvious passing situations on third and longs.

86
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I think the Charges still trying to figure out that

87
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: running game, and I expect a bigger performance at Austin Ekeler.

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I thought josh mcklly on that one specific drive randaball

89
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: really really hard. Him and Sony Michelle kind of split

90
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: that running back two duties. And we haven't seen Isaiah

91
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Spiller yet, so I think there's still much to be

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: written there. But I like the way Joshua ran on

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Yeah, he had one. He had the best

94
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: run of the afternoon evening. However you want to call

95
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: all it, Yeah, it's like a twelve yard run. I

96
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: think to the left side through the firemember us through

97
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the B gap there. But I almost wonder like if

98
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a hey, we've got

99
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: to establish this second back. It's got you know, let's

100
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: get Sony out there, let's get you know, let's get

101
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: rolling in. At some point, I think you just say, look,

102
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Austin is so freaking good and so hard to bring

103
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: down that you just make sure you take advantage of that.

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think we'll see a little bit more of

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: that tonight. The other thing is, you know, you look

106
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: at the three touchdowns and it's DeAndre Carter, Xander Horvath

107
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: and Gerald Everett, three new guys. Yeah, you know, and

108
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: you wonder about chemistry. Is there enough chemistry they're not

109
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: playing in the preseason. Yeah, there's there's chemistry when Justin

110
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Herbert's throwing you the Ballum, he had such a great game.

111
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Um that you know, it is Max Crosby's you know,

112
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: in the conversation, is the best pass rusher in the league.

113
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: He's so good and he he had a game, you know,

114
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter because Herbert was just I think

115
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: he was so ready for him that. Um, even though

116
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: he was in the backfield a lot, Herbert was able

117
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: to overcome and extend the play, extend plays, and like

118
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: there's one. It's so funny, you know, you look at

119
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and um, you know, and and splash plays and stuff,

120
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: and it goes back to kind of the conversation that

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Shane Day was having for that Ringer article and he's like, oh, yeah,

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: it's this this third and goal from the four against Cincinnati.

123
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: So there's one play in the Raider game when I

124
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: was going through all of the passes and it's just

125
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. I think it was on

126
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: the opening drive and um, everyone's covered. I mean, the

127
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: coverage is sticky, it's good. There's four guys out in

128
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the pattern and Herbert's flush from the pocket. He's rolling

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: to the right and it's almost just like he sees

130
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: the future. You know. It's the old anticipation throws, but

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: when you have anticipation plus the power that he has

132
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: in his arm, it's a throw to Everett and everyone's

133
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: covered and Everett has not even entered his break yet,

134
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: but Herbert sees it and he just pumps this throw

135
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: into a spot and in this split second, Everett makes

136
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: his cut and the ball is right there and it's

137
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: like a fifteen yard completion on a third down to

138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: extend the drive that led to the field goal. And

139
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: it was just it's plays like that that you're like, Man,

140
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: if I'm a defender, I'm like, what can we do?

141
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: You know, you collapse the pocket, he's flushed, the coverage

142
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: is sticky, and eighteen yards. That is That was the

143
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: most encouraging thing for me Sunday is that we're used

144
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: to seeing this high flying offense with Mike Williams featured

145
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Kena who was featured. Believe me, first half before you

146
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: get hurt in, Austin featured, and then you see an

147
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: offense that scored twenty one points with the Carters and

148
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: or Horvath and Gerald Everard. Yeah, that was that was

149
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: something that I think, Okay, Thursday tonight, we may see

150
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more Mike Williams. I think we're gonnaee

151
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more Austin Ekeler, and I think Josh M.

152
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Palmer who had three catches for five yards. Yeah, maybe

153
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: a little bit different tonight as well. Well, he'll be playing.

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, I think you'll see, you know,

155
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: you'll see Josh and Mike on the outside. Carter will

156
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: play that slot and he'll take over a lot of

157
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: those Keenan, a lot of those Keenan routes like he did.

158
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean he came in as soon as keen went out.

159
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Carter came in, bang bang bang. Three receptions, one touchdown,

160
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: one of the great touchdown catches that we'll probably see

161
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: all season. I mean that was a shoe string catch

162
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: as he's going backwards into the end zone, you know,

163
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: on a ball that was rifled in there. So that's

164
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: the other thing too to come out of that game

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: is just we saw it all training camp. We talked

166
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: about it all training camp, you know, just for whatever reason.

167
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: Not that shouldn't say for whatever reason, every single quarterback,

168
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: if it was Chase, if it was Easton, if it

169
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: was Herbert. They love throwing to DeAndre Carter, especially when

170
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the chips were down and the two minute drill and

171
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: red zone drill, that guy was getting so much action

172
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: and boom. You just saw it coming too practice, you know,

173
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say practice, what you saw it coming to

174
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: play in the game when it was needed. I mean

175
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: it was just like, yeah, that guy's out there. I

176
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: love the throwing to that guy. What a great dimension

177
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: he adds to the offense that we really haven't had

178
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: someone like that, yeah, in a Chargers uniform in a while.

179
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to remember, like, man, who who would

180
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: be comparable to that? You know, just kind of this

181
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: shifty quick But you know the thing about DeAndre is

182
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: he's so thick. You know, he's like one hundred and

183
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: eighty hundred ninety pounds. So like the reception he made

184
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: on the over route with Jonathan Abram on his back.

185
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean that just kind of shows you, Yeah, he's

186
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people might want to call

187
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: him like this jitterbug kind of receiver, but no, dude,

188
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: this guy's got legit strength to make that reception with

189
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: that kind of contact at the moment of truth. So

190
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: that was exciting to see as well. That acquisition gets

191
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: lost to the shuffle this offseason when we're talking about

192
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Klomack at jac Jackson and all the guys on defense,

193
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: not always there a kick return at a pud return.

194
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: He's probably a fourth receiver on this team right now.

195
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: And you said it during training camp. Guys love throwing

196
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: it to him. He had a great year of Washington

197
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: last year. I think he's great for the locker room

198
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I expect to see something out

199
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: of him against the Chiefs tonight. We have a ton

200
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: of us. But you know what, I do you just

201
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: because you said it, because I know Coach has made

202
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: a point out of hitting it a couple of times.

203
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I do want to say this because it's not exciting,

204
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: but we always bring it up. I think you saw

205
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: the difference in special teams too. Yeah, Dustin had a

206
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: misfield goal but every one of those. Yeah, I mean,

207
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: but everyone of Dustin's kicks went out of the back

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: of the end zone, so you don't have to worry

209
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: about covering kicks, you know. So that's number one. And

210
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: when you're talking about someone like McCole Hartman, whoever's going

211
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: to return for the Chiefs, I mean, that's legit speed

212
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: that they'll always put back there. So one. To have

213
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: Hopkins be able to boot every ball out of the

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: back of the end zone is a huge win to J. K. Scott.

215
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: And you know the fourth and one from midfield, when

216
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: did we ever think you know, Staley would not go

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: for that In that moment, He's like, I like the

218
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: way my defense is playing pend him at the two.

219
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: See we talked about, Yeah, when you when you have

220
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: a solid special teams in the defense that can get

221
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: after the quarterback and turn the ball over fourth down,

222
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: changes a little bit. Yeah, a lot changes a lot,

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: it felt like in that game. And so I think

224
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: that's a real weapon now for for Staley to have

225
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: at his disposal. Um, the fact that the guys hang

226
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: time was over five seconds, you know that you had

227
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: note what two returns for two yards and you know,

228
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: a net. I think when when you see gross forty nine,

229
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: NET forty eight, that makes you feel pretty darn good

230
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: about coverage, hang time, and just the operation as a whole.

231
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: And that's going to be important because again, you got

232
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: fast players on the Chiefs roster. You know that can

233
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: really wreck a game. I know Tyreek Hill's not here anymore,

234
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: but you still got McCole Harman back there, who is

235
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: freaking lightning quick. So I mean Juju sky more Kelsey.

236
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's so many sky return a couple

237
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: of kicks. So yeah, just to eliminate that option, you

238
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: know that that possibility there's a big win. I think

239
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: we answered this when this is from Richard under the

240
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: radar Chargers casey player that could potentially break open the game.

241
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, with Keenan out, Palmer's gonna get this start.

242
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: But I think DeAndre Carter is kind of that X

243
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: factor for the for the team. Yeah, maybe in special teams,

244
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: but also on offense. Yeah to me, let's see, um,

245
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: both sides, just Chargers are both sides, both sides, so

246
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: both sides. Karlofties looked really good. Um against the Cardinals.

247
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: They're rookie edge rusher out of Purdue. He looked about

248
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: him this week because they were teammates. He said they

249
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: made the little Jersey swap. But he said he knows

250
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: that that little Purdue wrinkle is new to the Chargers

251
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: choose rivalry too, but he he said, he knows his

252
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: teammate and uh, it's his school, a first round pick

253
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: versus the seventh round pickdown and he might be tasked

254
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: with trying to slow him down on a chip. But yeah,

255
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: so Carlottis looked good. Um, you know Chris Jones, that's

256
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Chris Jones isn't an X factor, But because Chris gets

257
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: such power pass rushing to collapse the pocket, to have

258
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: someone like Krlopti's coming off the edge, um, along with

259
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Frank Clark as a real addition at his team. So

260
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: that's something I would keep and I on for the Chargers.

261
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Drew Tranquill again. I think he's just

262
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: so important in the middle of the field. You know,

263
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: the what was overlooked and the Patrick Mahomes five touchdown

264
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: passes is I think Edwards a Lair rushed for five

265
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: and a half per carry, McKinnon six per carry. You know,

266
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: their their backs were running the football effectively, and that

267
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: of course loosens things up with play action and getting

268
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: people to bite. So I would look at those running backs, um,

269
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: because it seemed like that that was how they set

270
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: up a lot of those big plays. Was these guys

271
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: are ripping off five six yards per carry. So you know,

272
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: that's that's something that I'd be paying attention to. It's

273
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: a good point, it's good segue. More important to a

274
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: victory tonight. Established the run or shut down the Chiefs

275
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: running game. Yes, that's my answer to that. Yes, let's

276
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: go establish the run. You keep their offense off the field.

277
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: You know, you want those long clock churning drives slow.

278
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: You know, the thing is just there that they don't

279
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: need a run game, you know. I mean Patrick just

280
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: looking at the game against the Cardinals, that he's throwing

281
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: the ball, it's out so fast, And a lot of

282
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: that was in part because I don't know what the

283
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: hell the Cardinals were doing. You know, they were blitzing

284
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: a lot, and the second he saw that fifth rusher,

285
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: he just went to his hot read and there was

286
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: no you know that there's no there's free releases all

287
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: over the place, and those passes were out inside like

288
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: a second and a half or seven eight yards and

289
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: they were content to just take whatever the defense was

290
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: given him and easily made their way down field. So

291
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as important for the Chiefs to

292
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: establish the run. I think it is important for the

293
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Chargers to try to keep that offense off the field. Yeah,

294
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I agree with you get those seven eight minute drives

295
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: maybe with with Eckler and whoever. That Running Back two

296
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: is going to be watched DJ's film room this week too,

297
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: because he illustrates exactly what you're talking about with with

298
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the free releases and then the ridiculous throws

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: that Herbert bade on Sunday Player who have the most

300
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: impact and Keenan's absence. I think we answered that. I

301
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: think DeAndre Carter and Josh Palmer, I think both those

302
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 1: guys those no doubt. I don't I'd be surprised. I

303
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: suppose they'll probably call up Jason Moore, that'd be my guess,

304
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: just to get another big body out there. You know

305
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: Keenan size that that's sort of you know, wingspan, but um,

306
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think that's what you'll see. You'll see

307
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Josh, DeAndre Mike and those three receiver sets.

308
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Bolt of Josh First, how was your trip? It's good,

309
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Been a good trip, good barbecue. How

310
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: soon can we see Spiller? That's something I don't know yet. Yeah,

311
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: I think that we will see Spiller for sure, at

312
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: some point during this season, hopefully earlier than later. But

313
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: I think as long as Sony, Michelle and Josh Kelly

314
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: can handle these running back two duties, I don't know

315
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: if there's a big rush to get him in there. Yeah,

316
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I guess he's still you know, the running back. I

317
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: think there's so much trust placed in them for pass protection,

318
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, more than running the ball now, you know, Look,

319
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Sony struggled to run the ball, but then when it

320
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: was nutcut in time and they needed to have it,

321
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, they needed what three and he ripped off

322
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: six to basically ice the game and take the So

323
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: that's a huge win for Sony and for trusting him

324
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: moving forward. And again, the pass protection was pretty good

325
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: from the back, So I think as long as that continues,

326
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's the number one requirement of a

327
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: back behind Austin, I think is pass pro. When Herbert's

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: dropping back, make sure. They are a competent blocker and protector,

329
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: and I think both Sony and Josh show they're they're

330
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: very good at that. This is a good one from Daniel.

331
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: What do the coverage schemes and matchups look like with

332
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: and without Jac? I feel like jac and Davante Adams

333
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: would have been the matchup we saw week one. It's

334
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: a little bit different with Kansas City because they throw

335
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: the ball all over the yard a bunch of different guys. Yeah,

336
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: they do, and there's just so much motion, you know,

337
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: so I would I'd be he's not going to travel

338
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: with anyone, you know. The one coverage scheme I think

339
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: you will see, and we saw this in the Raider

340
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: game is you know, Durwin goes to where the problem is.

341
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, we saw a lot of Darren Waller, and

342
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of Darren Waller until the second

343
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: half when Derwin wasn't covered anymore, and then they're like,

344
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: all right, get back on Darren Wallers. So I think

345
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: you'll see a lot of Derwin on Travis Kelsey. Yeah,

346
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: just because you know, even though you know, as I'm

347
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: looking at the box right in front of me here,

348
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: I think it was six players with at least three receptions. Yeah,

349
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: so Kelsey. But but then you look up and it's like, yeah,

350
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: Kelsey still had eight receptions on ten targets. So it's

351
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: like that's still where he wants to go. So if

352
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: you can take that away and say, fine, you can

353
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: spread it out to Skymore and Marquez, Velde, Scantling and

354
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Juju do all of that, you're not going to have

355
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: the Travis Kelsey. So that's that's the one coverage thing

356
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: i'd point out. Yeah, I think you're gonna see a

357
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of Derwin on on Travis. And I love this

358
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: because the next question is the most effective way to

359
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: deploy Durwood Tavar to slow down Mahomes as much as possible.

360
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. Yeah. So to see Darwin in

361
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter rush on the same side as Mac

362
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: get the sack, and then the less defensive player of

363
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: the game to say I want the vante Adam. Yeah,

364
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: it goes one on one with Adams. It just shows

365
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: you his value. Man, he can do anything you want

366
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: him to do on the field. But I think check

367
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: in eighty seven get his hands on him early and

368
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: throughout the entire game. That's probably where he's best suited.

369
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: He played high, he played box, he played slot corner,

370
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: he played outside corner, he played edge rusher. Um, I

371
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: mean it's there's no one like him. There's just there's

372
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: nobody in the NFL like Drwin that can do what

373
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: he can do. And look, you don't blitz Mahomes, you

374
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: just don't. So I don't think we're gonna see a

375
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: lot of that from him, and I look, they'll die

376
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: one up. I'm sure there's gonna be one time where

377
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: they feel like, Okay, we see it. But if I

378
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: had to guess, Drwin's role is going to be take

379
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: take take eighty seven away. Now what number Travis is

380
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: eighty seven? Yep. Next couple of questions about Darwin and Kelsey.

381
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: How do they neutralize Kelsey in the fourth quarter? No,

382
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: t Durwin. I think late late in the year. Durwin

383
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: was hurt during that game and you couldn't go and

384
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: you saw the result. Well, yeah, I just they completely

385
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: wrecked him in the fourth quarter in overtime. You know

386
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: when Drwin had well, the entire secondary it got destroyed

387
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: in that game. Remember, So it was as soon as

388
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: I can't remember who went down, but Tavan went in

389
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: and it was just pick on number twenty over and

390
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: over and over again. And that's something Patrick's gonna do.

391
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna find the mismatch and exploit it until you

392
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: figure out how to plug that hole. Yeah, and I

393
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: think even if jac doesn't go tonight, the way Asante played,

394
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: the way Bryce Callahan played in Michael Davis, the secondary

395
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: is much deeper than it was in twenty twenty one.

396
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: This is a good question, and I thought about this

397
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: when we got the news that Harrison Bucker would be

398
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: out today. How likely is it that the Chiefs go

399
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down a little bit more than usual?

400
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: That's another little wrinkle in this game. Look, we have

401
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: we have played, we have we have watched games the

402
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Chargers have played the Chiefs and enough to know how

403
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: big of a factor Bucker has been. You think about

404
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Herbert's first ever start and connect, Yeah, fifty eight. I

405
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: think it was, yeah, back to back, fifty eighth, one

406
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: to send it to overtime, one to win it in overtime.

407
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's huge. You know, Amondola's there's a reason

408
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: why he's not on a roster, and you know is

409
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: act and as a filing, he doesn't have near the

410
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: leg that Butcher does. He's got one of the biggest

411
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: in the league. So you're talking about kickoffs that are

412
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: now returnable. I think I looked at Amndola's stats. He's

413
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: zero for three on kicks over fifty yards. So you're

414
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: taking one of the most effective weapons that they have

415
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: in a tight game, and every one of these games

416
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: have been so tight and it's gone. So I think

417
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: that that looms large for sure. Let's see here, Good

418
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: early morning, Chris, Welcome to town. Well we see Austin

419
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: e more this week on third down? Or do we

420
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: think Sony will continue that change of pace back that

421
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: was a bit of a surprise to be last week? Yeah,

422
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I agree, I think we already talked about it. I

423
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: expect to see a lot more Austin. Yeah, without Keenan,

424
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Who do you feel we'll take the next step forward?

425
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: That isn't talked about much, Yandre Everett, Palmer Guiton Carter, Sony,

426
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: all the above. I mean, I think whoever, whoever Justin

427
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: feels comfortable throwing the ball too. Let's see here in

428
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: terms of snaps though, I think it just goes back

429
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: to what we talked about. You know, Josh, Josh and

430
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: Michael play on the outside, and I think you'll see

431
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Carter that slot. And I mean coach Lombardi does a

432
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: great job of mixing that up too. I mean he'll

433
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: put every guy in the slot and put every guy

434
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: in the outside and be totally you know, guys are

435
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: flexible and it's so important in a wide receiver room.

436
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: What does Money's go to barbecue protein in Kansas City?

437
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: What side does he order with it? This is a

438
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: serious quest. Protein. I mean I guess protein, Like I

439
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: guess beef. You know that's that's the protein. Like, what's

440
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: I guess? That's true? Yeah, So last night we had

441
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: I had some burnt ends, I had some brisket, I

442
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: had some baby backs. You know, we kind of got

443
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the whole platter thing go and it was just picking

444
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: at it. Um woke up at one am with meat sweats.

445
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: It's not cool. It happens every time I come here.

446
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: I say I'm not going to eat as much, and

447
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: I do. I overdo it. Um side, Um boy, that's

448
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: tough because I'm such a side guy. You know, I

449
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: love them all. I like greens. At the same time,

450
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: you know, if you're eating barbecue, you probably want like

451
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: jack stack. They do that. They do the cornbread, they

452
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: do the Hollopennial cornbread, and man, it is just it's

453
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: it should be illegal. It's so good cast iron pan. Um,

454
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: but you know, I love corn on the cob. I'm

455
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: a big fan of that. UM had the baked potato

456
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: last night, which was way too much. Now I'm about

457
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: to fall asleep talking about it. I needed a nap.

458
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: I got the judges plate at Q thirty nine. Oh yeah,

459
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I was what was a verdict? Guilty? It was guilty.

460
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: I got. I think I got. I got three meats

461
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: and I crushed them all. And of course you didn't

462
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: feeling the effects today. Yeah. A theater has a question

463
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: for Matt money Smith. Will coach Staley be very aggressive

464
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: tonight with Herbert or rely on his defense. I am

465
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: optimistic about our defense, but let me hear you please. Um.

466
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: That's a great question. And I think you know, when

467
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: you go back to the Thursday night game last year

468
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: and going forward on all those fourth downs, I think

469
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: there's a belief that you cannot win games against the

470
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs by scoring field goals, that they're just gonna trade

471
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns for field goals, and before you know it, you're

472
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: down fourteen to six and you're scrambling. So I think

473
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you will continue to see that type of aggression that

474
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: you have to score touchdowns to beat this team. Three

475
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: points is not gonna do it. Yep. See what else

476
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: we got here. M J C. Jackson plays will be

477
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: he'd be matched up on Juju or MVS. Yes, yeah, yeah,

478
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: who knows? Yeah, all of them. That Andy Reid moves

479
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: guys around way too much for you to travel with someone.

480
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: If you travel, they up catching you. Then a guy

481
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: springs wide open. So Alexis let them know why they

482
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: keep bringing up quote defense must get to Mahomes and

483
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: all that. Yes, it's true, but Chiefs aren't playing any

484
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: random either. They gotta worry about Justin Herbert. So this

485
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: isn't Mahomes only. Chiefs got to worry about Herbert too.

486
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that that's obvious. Yeah. I think the idea

487
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: behind that though, is you know, it goes back to

488
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: the blitz conversation. You can't blitz him. That's why it's

489
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: so important to get home with four. And I think

490
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: what we saw last year in Kansas City by putting

491
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: the top on the keeping the top on the defense

492
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: is force him to make multiple throws work his way

493
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: down the field, and that's how you get two forced fumbles,

494
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: two interceptions. You know, like in that Cardinals game, you

495
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: know there were two interception worthy throws that he made.

496
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: One in the end zone that was just flat out dropped.

497
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember who the defensive back was, but you know,

498
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes will put it out there. You know he will

499
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: put And that's kind of where that conversation with jac

500
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: comes in. A guy that's led the league in interception

501
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: since he came into the league, and you know our

502
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: conversation about nas. You know last year it was a

503
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: lowe that got that pick, you know, from that safety,

504
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: from that high safety spot. So you know that's what

505
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: you want to do. Just force him to make more

506
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: throws down the field than those splash plays that just

507
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: freaking crush your soul. Yeah, I think Alexis is basically saying, Okay,

508
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: we saw Mahomes with three hundred sixty yards five to

509
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: Jouns and it's all about him. But Justin can do

510
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: his thing. He's done it narrowhead too a couple you know,

511
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent and That's why I was saying, you

512
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: know at the start, when you were asking about you know,

513
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: X factors, I brought up Carlotti's because you know that

514
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: that's why they went out and got him. They know

515
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: they need more edge pressure for Justine. You know, Chris

516
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: Jones does a great job of getting push in the pocket,

517
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: but when Justin's rolling out to the edges and there's

518
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: no one there waiting for him, you know, now you've

519
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: got Clark on one side and actually a lot of

520
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Mike Dana in that game against the Cardinals, but Carlotti

521
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge addition. I talked to Kyle

522
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: van Noy for CBS last night as he was getting

523
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: off the plane, and we talked to him about the

524
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: fact that Mahomes short week, how do you prepare? And

525
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: he's like, you know what, it's more about what we do.

526
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: He's like, Mahomes Hall of Fame player, great player, but like,

527
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: if we do what we're supposed to do, I think

528
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay. And just a calming presence like that,

529
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: and a guy who's been in games like Kyle Vannoy

530
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: has been in a ton of huge games. He's seven

531
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: and two on Thursday night. He had a I think

532
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: ten tackles in two sacks the AC Championship game here

533
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: a few years ago. So I think having that veteran

534
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: leadership that frankly I think was lacking last year on

535
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: this defense, I think it's a big thing for this

536
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: Chargers d. Yeah, I can't hurt, that's for sure. You know,

537
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: calm when the storm is raging, you know, have someone

538
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: to kind of steady study the ship. And they have

539
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: so many of those guys this year compared to I mean,

540
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: you should look at the acquisitions, right jac Jackson. You

541
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: know who did it with Bill Belichick for all those

542
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: years you know in Super Bowls. H Kyle Vennoy who

543
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: was won Super Bowls with Bill Belichick. Khalil Mack has

544
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: been a defensive Player of the Year and an anchor

545
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: of defenses, you know. So yeah, you know, not to

546
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: mention having Darwin healthy, who's the ultimate leader on that

547
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: side of the ball. There's a lot of guys you

548
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: can lean on, you know, when you know what we

549
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: expect and a one score game and there's two minutes

550
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 1: left and either you're protecting a four point leader, you've

551
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: got to get the ball back to the offense because

552
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: you're trailing by two. Like, that's just what I expect

553
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: to see out there. I have more of those players

554
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: that have been in those situations. Uh is you know,

555
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: cannot hurt Hey, Pinto, come in here to close this out,

556
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: all right, buddy, we're doing this in the lobby. We

557
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: saw Ry Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman walked by a few

558
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: minutes ago. But Francisco Peto, which worries you know, um Andrew,

559
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: you know the title for the Worth with Worth. It's

560
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: hard to I'm sorry at this time. I mean you

561
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: realized right away, who's a morning person here? And that

562
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: guy over there, he's way to awake. Oh yeah for me,

563
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: he's like that's it man, you know, he's like golden.

564
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a difference. When you guys were still

565
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: in the bar, I was like no, no, no, no no, no.

566
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: It was like it was like eleven o'clock and I

567
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: wasn't bed less night. I think it's just the amount

568
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: of barbecue I had last night. I mean I'm just feeling,

569
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, slow. So yeah, but that's that's some morning

570
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: guy right there. Must be the way. Yeah, you know,

571
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: I tried, I tried to find some There was a

572
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: river next to the highway, but there wasn't enough to

573
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: create a way. I got some sort of bacteria and

574
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: we know, whatever, you gotta chase it wherever you can.

575
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: What half of the Chargers, the Spanish language team joiner Us,

576
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: Francisco Pinto and Pinto, We answered a bunch of questions

577
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: about this game. What are you most excited for tonight? Oh,

578
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: it's so great. Every time my homes and Herbert go

579
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, against against, it starts starts in the air,

580
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: and I keep we were talking last night, you know,

581
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: about the challenges of this offense, and you think, well,

582
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: we just went against Adams and Remfro and you know,

583
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: obviously Waller, but we didn't go against fifteen. You know

584
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: number fifteen, and he changes everything. You know, he's different

585
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: from car obviously. You know, he's so elusive and he

586
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: extends you know, he extends play like nobody else can

587
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL, really at that level. I keep thinking

588
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: they're when James to me, that's so important for this

589
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: game because he's one of the few guys who can

590
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: actually stay with Travis Kelsey and Kelsey I'm sure you

591
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: guys mentioned it already. I mean, he's like the security

592
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: blanket for my homes and if you take that guy away,

593
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: then thinks started getting a little bit more complicated for them.

594
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem that they're not going to find a

595
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: way to solve it because my homes is so special.

596
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: But Kelsey is really important in this offense, and I

597
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: think that the job, the word that they're win James

598
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: has been able to do against him in the past.

599
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: It's a good He's a good sign for the Chargers.

600
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad Francisco you brought that up because it is

601
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: something that we missed and shame on me for not

602
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: bringing it up. When we talked about that Raider game,

603
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: you brought up Renfro and the fact that you know

604
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Callahan was brought in here, Bryce Callahan, we didn't bring

605
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: him up. Just what a great job he did on

606
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Renfro two catches twelve yards including a pick when he

607
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: jumped the route because Derek Carr was under pressure so

608
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: and targeted in the first half. No, not a single time,

609
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: and I mean that was essentially Callahan was on him

610
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: the entire time. So you know, again, shame on me

611
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: for not bringing that up because we know Renfro has

612
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: torched the Chargers and years past, so to have him

613
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: and that's probably gonna be that sky Moore, you know spot.

614
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: You know they've been putting you know, they've started out

615
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: it's one game and the guys at rookie, but he's

616
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: been playing a lot of that slot. He's that elusive,

617
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: super quick out of breaks players, So you know that's

618
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: going to probably be a task that's dropped to Callahan.

619
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: And man, he played great in his Charger debut. He did.

620
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: And you know, we were just talking about Durwin, like

621
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: Durwin's success against Kelsey though in the past. Yeah, it's

622
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: been high and you can put him all over the field,

623
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: but he's best suited Number eighty self so unique, such

624
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: a special, special player, so smart and fledache. I mean,

625
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the few really at that level

626
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: in that position in the NFL. The other thing that

627
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward is, you know, the Raiders had obviously

628
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: Jones and Crossby on the edges. The pressure for Kansas

629
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: City comes in a different way. You know, they have

630
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Chris Jones there, who's a really really good uh tackle.

631
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, he's scary and and uh um, the offensive

632
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: lines are pretty good on the left side for both teams.

633
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys they have around the brown and

634
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: who's who's the guy that came from from the two agents, Yeah, Tuning,

635
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: who's great. You know those as we have Slater and

636
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: you know on Filer and and Corey Leansley. Um. I

637
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: think that that's that's an important part of the game

638
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: as well. And whatever happens with with with that defensive

639
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: pressure that the Chargers were able to put in the

640
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: middle with the obviously with Austin Johnson and Sebastian Joseph

641
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: Day against the Raiders is going to be really critical.

642
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: Against the Against the Chiefs, they run for almost a

643
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: hundred thirty yards you know, against the Arizona Cardinals, I

644
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen against against the Chargers.

645
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: I think that they are Brandon Staley said to me

646
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: this week, the pocket looks different this year when those

647
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: two guys collapse. You know, the numbers might not be there,

648
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: but the pocket looks different. You know, the first push

649
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: is completely different with Austin Johnson and with the Sebastian

650
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: Joseph Day. You know, it's powerful, is it just it

651
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: makes the whole pocket feel different and that's why they

652
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: were able to bring pressure from other sides. So there's

653
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: so many aspects of this game, you know that makes

654
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: makes it really exciting. Arrowhead is obviously one of them.

655
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: That's that's I've told many people before. You know, I've

656
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: been fortunate to cover the different sport sporting events in

657
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: the world, World Cups and things where things get really loud.

658
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: That place is different. Arrowhead is different when everybody is

659
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: there and they go nuts. It's it's a unique place.

660
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: But Herbert has played there before, and the Chargers have

661
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: played there and one and they have they have won,

662
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: so it's nothing like it's nothing they haven't seen before.

663
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: When the draft, I think it was I think it

664
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: was round one when this game was announced in April. Yes,

665
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: we were waiting for this one since April. What do

666
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you expect in tonight money great game? Yeah, you know,

667
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: just to put it simply, you know, win lose. I

668
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: expect it's going to be a great game, because they

669
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: always are. I'd be very surprised if one team really

670
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: got ahead and took advantage of the other. I just

671
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: don't see it. I think the two teams are way

672
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: too good, way too deep quarterbacks are too good at

673
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: coming back from deep deficits. So I anticipated to be

674
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: another one of those, and you know, and hopefully we're

675
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: going to get it for another ten years, you know,

676
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: twice a year with these two, you know, fighting for

677
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: the division crown. You know, if one team can get

678
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: the better or the other in both games, especially if

679
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: you get that one on the road like the Chargers

680
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: did last year, and you think about how last year

681
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: played out. You know, they have that opportunity to sweep

682
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: on that Thursday night at SOFI late in the season,

683
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: and had they done that, they would have been in

684
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: first place. They would have been essentially too clear of

685
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because of the tiebreaker. And then you see

686
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs rally, get the split and go on to

687
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: win the division, you know, and make it to the

688
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Games. So hopefully this will be similar.

689
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is what I think about though, Like

690
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: it was a little bit different last year in how

691
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: the year started. It was like two straight NFC East

692
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: deploments with so much hype around this division. If you

693
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: can go two and on the AFC West with a

694
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: bunch of new guys still figuring it out, and get

695
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: away against the Raiders and then on the road against

696
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you look at the schedule, it looks

697
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: pretty favorable over these next five to six weeks. I mean,

698
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: it's it's weak. I don't want to those are the

699
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: ones that scare me, though it will now it gets easier.

700
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to make a week two game bigger

701
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: than it is. But if I know what you mean,

702
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: if you go to the West, if they lose and

703
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: it's a split, you're like, great, you know what one

704
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: and one and now you've you know, what you believe

705
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: is a soft spot in the schedule with Houston and

706
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Jacksonville, And you know, I totally understand what

707
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: you're saying, Like a win is huge to go two

708
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: O two and zero against you know, two people that

709
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: are two teams that we think are really good and

710
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: are going to be buying for the for the division crown,

711
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: and then to have the ability to carry that into

712
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: that momentum of the sawt spot in your schedule and

713
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: you feel like, wow, this team could be five and

714
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: oh six and oh and like that's when things really

715
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: start snowballing and you feel great about rolling downhill and

716
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: just crushing everything in your path. But a word, I'm

717
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: with money. It's going to be a great game. And

718
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: that's why I can't wait. I Mean, these teams are

719
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: so close, you know, and they know. I mean, Herbert

720
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: can play with mine, he can play with my homes.

721
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, he can throw with my homes. I mean

722
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: we all know that. I mean, this offense is you know,

723
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: we've heard them in the past, and they know that.

724
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, you know, old school, one of the great

725
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: coaches this this league has has had ever. You know,

726
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: he's only going to give props to anybody before he

727
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: that's not his style. You know. You see Andy Reid talking. Yeah,

728
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: he's good, it's getting better. You know, it's it's natural,

729
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: the progression and the experience. He knows, he knows Number ten.

730
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: They know him very well. Be enemy, does you know

731
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: they Spagnola, they all do the team, you know, they

732
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: all do know the team that he's going to be

733
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: playing against them tonight, you know. And that's basically where

734
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: the Chargers are today. The Chargers are in the They

735
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: are in the picture for real. You know, everybody knows,

736
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, what the what these teams can do, and

737
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: that that's exciting, you know, that's that's what we're here

738
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: for him. And I can't I can't wait. I can't

739
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: wait for this game. That's good thing past. Let's get
