1 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: What's up, guys? Chris Harry with you on a week 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: fifteen edition of Chargers Weekly Thursday Night Football from Las Vegas. 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: Volts taken on the Raiders in a short week. Coming up, 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from the Chargers nominee for the Walter 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Peyton Man of the Year Award, defensive end Isaac Rachelle, 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: will join me, but first it's time to see what's 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: on the menu, powered by Subway with the voice of 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers, Matt Money Smith Money Fun to get a 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: win at SOFI Stadium against the Falcon's last Sunday twenty seventeen, 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: and you know, the special teams showed up, Michael Badgie 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: with eight points and Nas with that seventy six yard 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: kick return. It was good to see, it was, you know. 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: And we talked to Tom Talasco on the radio show 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: with Petros, you know, and I thought he brought up 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: a good point because I said, hey, it's it's gotta 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: be nice for Justin to get that first you know, 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: game winning drive under his belt, right, And you know, 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I thought he put it perfectly. He's like that ain't 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: on him, man, You know that guy, that guy had 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: a game winning drive. In New Orleans. That guy had 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: a game winning drive in Denver. He's had a bunch 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: of game winning drives. We've just let him down. You know. 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: He's like, so I would assume for it's more like 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: it's good for us to get him a game winning 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: drive because because he certainly deserved it. So it was 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: nice to see Badgeley, you know, pump that forty three 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: yard or straight down, straight down the pike and finally 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: walk off with a win instead of disappointment after after 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, your rookie quarterback did everything right. And you 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: know what, DJ said it on the broadcast, and it's 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: pretty crazy when you think about it. You know, I'm 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: thinking about sixty three yards in the air to Guiden, 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, sixty eight yards in the air to Tyrn Johnson, 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: that freaking touchdown that he threw to Keenan and the 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: Jets game, and and DJ said, I think that throw 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: to Tyrn Johnson to set up the field goals the 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: best throw he's made this year. Just have to be 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: on the move under pressure, no time. You got to 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: hit him in strides so we can get out of 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: bounds to stop the clock. Just and it was on 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: a rope you know right, it could not have been 42 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: a better throw. So, yeah, it was a lot of 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: fun to see. You know, look, you got four wins 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: on the season, I get it, but it's good to 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: see that all come together and complimentary football, special teams 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: helping out the offense to put them in a position 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, at the moment, I think that makes 48 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: that that throw that much more special because you know 49 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: what the moment is. You have to convert there to 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: win that game, and justin certainly did it. Defensively, six 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: turnovers and the last three games, I believe I think 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: they had nine turnovers in the first ten games. So again, 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: you're starting to see the complimentary football, all three phases 54 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of clicking at the same time. We haven't really 55 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: seen that this year, money, I think Sunday was kind 56 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: of a sneak peek of that. The special teams played 57 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: pretty well, the offense played well, went I had to, 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: and the defense came up with some timely interceptions. Yeah, 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna drop the really out of that statement. 60 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: We haven't seen it this year. We have not seen 61 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: a complete game from this team in all three phases 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: this entire season. You know, it took until the thirteenth 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: game to get it, and it's exciting when it happens 64 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: because you see the talent, you know, the pressures as 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: Joey was getting doubled that whole game, and you got 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: Justin Jones getting the first sack of his career, Jerry 67 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: Tillery making an impact, Nick Vigil, you know, flying through 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: from the second level to make big plays, and the corners, 69 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, not just getting their hands on balls, but 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: getting interceptions and finishing those plays so they're not past 71 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: breakups but their picks. So it absolutely was great to see, 72 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: especially to pick up and you know, I think you 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: go back and look at the film, you never want 74 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: to know it's it's always you know, an amalgamation of things. 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: But you kind of look at that interception for Herbert 76 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: and obviously Keenan was hurting and it just wasn't kind 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: of your typical Keenan play on that one. And I 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: think it was great to see, you know, redemption for 79 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Herbert following that interception after his defense got him the 80 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: football so he could he could make that play. It 81 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: really was. It was a fun game, and I think 82 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: it's a fun plot. You know, it's a plot line 83 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: that I think is fun to follow and that contest 84 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: and how it all got put together considering what had 85 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: happened the week before. If you take out one play 86 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, you know, unfortunately 87 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: you can't do that, and that's still going to be 88 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: talked about. How that you know, how something like that 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: can happen. Well, Thursday, I go back to what the 90 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Chargers did against the Falcons, held them to seventy yards rushing, 91 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the fewest since last year when they held the Packers 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: to forty five yards of rushing. That's going to have 93 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: to carry you because you only that first matchup. DeVante 94 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: Booker and Josh Jacobs every six point two yards to carry. 95 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: If they can stop the run and get the running 96 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: game going. You saw what Indianapolis was able to do 97 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: on Sunday with John Taylor and company. I think that's 98 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: where the game could be decided. Money, what do you think? Well, 99 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: and Josh Jacob's beat up, right, So a you've got 100 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: Jacobs is beat up, Rugs is out. So that certainly 101 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: alters a lot on that defense in terms of that 102 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: speed and having to commit resources just in case he 103 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: gets behind. Now that Derek Carr Show he's willing to 104 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: throw a show him that he's willing to throw that ball. 105 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: So Ruggs not being in there certainly helps, even though 106 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: he had very little impact and receive, you know, as 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: far as catching the ball in the first meeting, didn't 108 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: catch the ball as a matter of fact, he had 109 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: a single rush. But he's kind of emerged a little 110 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: bit as of late. So not having him in there, 111 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: I think is going to help. A beat up Josh 112 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: Jacobs is certainly going to help because man, he's one 113 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: of the best in the business when he gets it going. 114 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I think committing resources to that, 115 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: you're going to be able to commit maybe some more 116 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: resources to it because you know, we've said it before. 117 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: We probably said it in this exact same space prior 118 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: to the Raider game. Beat beat us over the top. 119 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, that would be my mantra if I were Gus. 120 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: You know what, Derek Carr, you want to you want 121 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: to change your stripes, you want to take your shots 122 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: down field, and you know what, get after it. You 123 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: know what he's did you get in that third quarter? Yeah? 124 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: You know, and like I said, he did it in 125 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: the third quarter. And guess what they still probably should 126 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: have won the game. The Charger should have won the game, 127 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: So that I think is the better approach. Commit, commit 128 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: defensive resources to the line of scrimmage, stop that rush 129 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: attack and forced Derek Carr to do what it appears 130 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do, because they didn't want to 131 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: do it last week, you know, with seven minutes left 132 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: and those checkdowns ended up, you know, putting the game 133 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: on a reach with that pick sixth late. That's what 134 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: they did in the first match. They set up the past. 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: There's big places in the second half with the run 136 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: with DeVante Booker, Josh Jacobs. That's what they're gonna have 137 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: to slow. You know. I look at the Chargers Thursday night. 138 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: You remember very well two years ago last time they 139 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: want to give him a Thursday Night it was against 140 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: a divisional opponent, Week fifteen on the road. I think 141 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: it was my favorite Matt money Smith call, the two 142 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: point coversion. Mike Williams been you gotta remember that like 143 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: it was yesterday. I do clear obviously, you know, considering 144 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: what we've been through. My favorite call as well, because 145 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: it's a game winner essentially, it's a walk off, and 146 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: it's the coaching staff being bold and going for two 147 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: when an extra point would have tied the game, and 148 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: it was a battle for the division, and you know, 149 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: you left Kansas City, you were on that flight feeling like, 150 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I think the march to the super Bowl is going 151 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: to go through LA and it's going to go through 152 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers. And it was a pretty darn good feeling. 153 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Just a brilliant play call to to free up Mike 154 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Williams a blown coverage, and yeah, it was. It was 155 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: definitely my favorite call. It was, you know, you don't 156 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm not someone who scripts those things. I just kind 157 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: of let it come to me. Maybe I should, you know, 158 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: at times, but yeah, it was. And it was prior 159 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: to to our to our leader's gaff regarding the position 160 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: in the state of Kansas City, Missouri, And yeah, I 161 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: don't know, it just came out, I think because I've 162 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: called games in Kansas City before, you know, before I 163 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: got the Charger game, and I was doing national games, 164 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: and I've called you know, Kansas games and Lawrence in 165 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: Kansas State games in Manhattan. It's just for whatever reason, 166 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: it's been in Missouri games and you know, in Missouri 167 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: in Columbia. So I don't know, it just popped into 168 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: my head. You know, the closest defender was in Kansas City, Kansas. 169 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: So how can you how can you script that money? 170 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean a two point conversion to end the game. 171 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: It sound like you're you're prepared scenarios that the game 172 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: right for a blown coverage. Yeah, so it, Uh, it 173 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: worked out. It was a lot of fun. That was 174 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: a fun flight home too, So you know, hopefully we'll 175 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: get back to that. You know, I cannot wait to 176 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: get back on those planes and hang out with you. 177 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I've had some great conversations with Philip 178 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: in the game in the gallery there and Coach and 179 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Tom tullesco would always kind of make us way back 180 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: or you know, even even you know, doctor Ting and 181 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Yim and Gazannago, those guys I hang out with a lot. 182 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: It's just you missed that camaraderie and uh, and it'll 183 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: be fun to get it back. And I just you know, 184 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: when you mentioned that play and it being the two 185 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: year anniversary a couple of days ago, I can remember 186 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: how much fun it was being on that plane flying 187 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: home and just having a darn good time. It was amazing, 188 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: And you know it starts with winning in the division, 189 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: and I think that's what's just really important for this teams. 190 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get back to winning in the 191 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: AFC West, and you have three opportunities to do. We 192 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: know the playoffs are not gonna happen this year, but 193 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I still think there's something to be said about winning 194 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: these games against divisional opponents and getting a little bit 195 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: of MOE going into twenty twenty one. I know it 196 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily carry over, but I just think it's so 197 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: important money for this team to start beating the Raiders 198 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: and Broncos and Chiefs again. Well yeah, you Diamond. Look, 199 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: you cannot get swept two years in a row in 200 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: the division. You got to win these games, and especially 201 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: especially against the Raiders. It's Raider Week, it's a short week. 202 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: It's not ideal. Canan's beat up, Austin Eckler's beat up, 203 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people are beat up. But you got 204 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: a chance to end the Raiders season. You know, you 205 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: win this game Boil on Thursday and their season is over. 206 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: And we already know. You know they're on tilt because 207 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Fire and Paul Gunt, they're on a short week. Yeah, 208 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: they're on tilt. So it's sure would be fun to 209 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: watch old Gruden, you know, point the finger at other 210 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: people and fire s. I mean, it's not fun to 211 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: see him fire somebody else, but just to just to 212 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: watch him get all twisted and get all freaked out, 213 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: it certainly would be a heck of a lot of fun. 214 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: And have Derek Carr with his stupid motivation speeches to 215 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: the media during the week. You know. It's look, I 216 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: guess I've kind of become a little bit emotionally invested 217 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to this is the only game that 218 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: does it to me. And maybe it's because you know, 219 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: our producer Tim Kates was part of the pre having 220 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: post for their radio broadcast, But you know, this is 221 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: this is the one game of year that I really 222 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: really want the team to win. I mean, it really is, 223 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: so I'm I'm hopeful. I'm looking forward to it. I 224 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: think about how well they played the last time around 225 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: and essentially have that thing one if Palm can control 226 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: that thing to the ground. I did an event last 227 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: night with Ladanya Thomlinson and I asked him, I said, 228 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: do you know what your record was against the Raiders? 229 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: And he knew it was good He's like, I don't 230 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: know exactly what it was. Fourteen of four, Like, we 231 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: got to get back to the fourteen of four era 232 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: where Eltie was just running rampant over the Raiders and 233 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: get back to consistently beating these teams in the division. 234 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: And I think you're right. I mean, this is a 235 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for the Charge to play spoiler 236 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: against a hated rival in the division and then maybe 237 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: bounce back and get a little revenge on the Broncos. 238 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: And then obviously Week seventeen it could mean maybe nothing 239 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, but I think these next two especially 240 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: get to get a little revenge, no doubt. It kind 241 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: of goes back. I know we said it prior to 242 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: the Patriots game, and that didn't that didn't happen, but 243 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: we said, you have a chance really to kind of 244 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: ruin everybody's season to play spoilers, spoiler for the Patriots 245 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs. Now the Rams did that um 246 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: to to you know, end their run and then spoiler, 247 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, for the Raiders to bounce them from the playoffs. 248 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: You have a chance to really throw if you can, 249 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: if you can play a great game against Drew lock 250 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: to to really kind of throw you know, their off 251 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: season upside down as they try to figure out whether 252 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: or not they have their long term solution at quarterback 253 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: or if they got to commit a salary cap resources 254 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: or be draft capital toward fix in that position. If 255 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: you can do it again like you did in the 256 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: first half against Drew Locke and and then you have 257 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: a chance to ruin the chief season, there's only one 258 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: by you know, and if you can knock them off 259 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: in week seventeen, who knows, perhaps you know, perhaps they 260 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: get got you know here in these next couple or 261 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: or I don't know what the status would be if 262 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: if they both end up with two losses, if they 263 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: end up as the as the one or the two. 264 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: I think they would end up as the one still, 265 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: but whatever, you know, go three and three in division, 266 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: carry these three consecutive wins into next year and and 267 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: challenge for the crown in the AFC West. Yeah, it'd 268 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: be big. Division games are huge, And again I say, 269 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: I go to the playoffs this year, but it doesn't matter. 270 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: You got to win in the division to carry that 271 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: over and let teams know in the in the West 272 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: that this Chargers team's coming in twenty twenty one. Money 273 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: always love doing it, man, I will see it so 274 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: fine a couple of weeks and I guess you guys 275 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: will be calling the game remotely. Uh you know, I 276 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: know Vegas is a is a quick trip, but uh, 277 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: I guess twenty twenty one will be the first time 278 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: we see Allegia Stadium. Yeah, he will be. We'll be 279 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: doing it from our regular broadcast spot. So it's a 280 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: bummer again. I'm looking forward to getting out there and 281 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: seeing that stadium. I know, for people that don't know, 282 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: you know, that stadium was going to be the Raiders 283 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: Charger stadium. That those were the plans had the NFL 284 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: approved the Carson plan instead of the Englewood plan of 285 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: Stan Crockey. So it'll be kind of interesting to see, Oh, 286 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: this is what it would have looked like had it 287 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: been Raiders Chargers in LA. That thing would have been 288 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: plopped right there in Carson. So definitely looking forward to 289 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: getting in there next year.

And I go back 316 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: to the beginning of the pandemic. I had done an 317 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: interview with you when Local Human was just getting going, 318 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: and this was an idea that was thrust into action. 319 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: Do you remember the moment when you launched Local Human 320 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: and when you flash forward, are you amazed by what 321 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: you guys have accomplished.

It sounds like such a 336 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: simple question, but you have made it a prior already, 337 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: and I think you've talked about it. How you just 338 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: you feel that responsibility as an athlete to give back 339 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: to those who are less fortunate or just people in 340 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: your community in general. Yeah, you know, I'm super fortunate 341 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: to be in a position that I'm in. You know 342 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: what makes me different than any other person that's not 343 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's just simply that I'm massive, right, 344 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: and then I'm super athletic. So it truly is a blessing. 345 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: And I see it that way, And when you look 346 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: at it that way, you start to recognize, well, if 347 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm here and I have this platform, you know, why 348 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: not help people out. I don't really have a reason 349 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: not to. And I usually take it a step further 350 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: and say, you know, I think we have an obligation. 351 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Another thing that I always point out is you know, 352 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: this is a short window of time that all of 353 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: us are going to be in the NFL. The average 354 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: career length is less than three years. And when I 355 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: think about it that way, it's like, I need to 356 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: maximize this as much as I can, and making an 357 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: impact off the field is a aspect of maximizing the 358 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: NFL experience. You gave way one hundred and fifty Christmas 359 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: trees last week in this area on behalf of local 360 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: Human and you do these things as you gave away 361 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: turkeys and Thanksgiving, you're giving people free Starbucks. I mean, 362 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: how have you guys been able to kind of plan 363 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: all these different events based on what's going on in 364 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: our world? What's going on, you know, whether it's a season, 365 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: you guys seem to have a plan for everything. And 366 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: it's just it's so impressive. Yeah, you know, we're always scheming. 367 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: And like I said, I gave Trevor Beck a shout out, 368 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: but he's a huge He's a huge part of making 369 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff happen. Another thing that's happened is, 370 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: and again we talked about when we first talked about this, 371 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: how much is how much things have changed? You know, 372 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: we've brought people on. We're way more organized than we 373 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: used to be, and it makes it easy to kind 374 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: of go with the flow. And when I say flow, 375 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: kind of like what's going on with the year. But 376 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: it's fun, you know, it's fun to be able to 377 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: be doing stuff what feels like now every week, and 378 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: especially things like giving trees away. I mean that's not 379 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: a traditional, uh, giving back to the community type thing. 380 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: But you know, just because you might have less money 381 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you shouldn't get a tree. I mean, that's 382 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: a that's a luxury right in the holidays. But it 383 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what your socioeconomic level is, you should be 384 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: able to have a tree. When I say that you're 385 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: associated with the name Walter Peyton, what does that mean 386 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: to you? I mean it means a lot. And you know, 387 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: he in a lot of ways maximize the NFL experience 388 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: and that's it's something I referenced earlier. UM And to 389 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: be to be uh you know, associated with him and 390 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: the award is unbelievable, and like I said, you know, 391 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: it's it's a huge accomplishment and something that I'm super 392 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: proud of. Uh. And something else to note is just 393 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: the other people that have gotten this award or that 394 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: have been up for the award. I mean, you look 395 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: at the group of people, there's thirty two of us 396 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: um that I'm associated with. I mean, it's an absolute honor. 397 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: These are guys that have done tons of tons of 398 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: things for the community, given tons of money to the community, 399 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: and here i am, you know, in this group of people, 400 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: and I'm super proud of it. It's cool because it's 401 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, I look at last year and you're chanting 402 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: to Woasu, another young guy who's doing so much in 403 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: the community. What kind of conversations have you had with 404 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: him about both of you being the charges dominee in 405 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: each of the last two years. I always just joke around. 406 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, we're keeping this thing in the d 407 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: line room, whatever we have to do. But you know, 408 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: we're I think we both just take pride. And it's funny. 409 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: You know, the more that I've done in the community, 410 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: the more his names come up. I've had I've had 411 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: interactions with people in LA and you know, his name 412 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: constantly comes up. So it's it's a testament to the 413 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: work that he's done. It's a testament to the work 414 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: that I'm doing, and it's really cool. I mean honestly 415 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: that it's been in the d line room two years 416 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: in a row. And what I love about a two 417 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: Isaaca is you're just getting started. I mean, this is 418 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: just the beginning for what you have in store for 419 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: not only your NFL career, but for life after football. 420 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: What do the next couple of months look like for 421 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: local human and just you in general? As you inch 422 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: closer towards the Walter Payton Man of the Year announcement, Yeah, 423 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: so we're just gonna keep building this thing out. I 424 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: think up to this point, we've done a lot of 425 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: really cool things. But I think what we need to 426 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: do is bring some more structure to what we're doing. 427 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: And like I said, we've brought people on. I mean, 428 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: we have people working for us doing really cool things 429 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: to help us get where we want to go. But 430 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: like I said, we need to get a little bit 431 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: more focused. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna 432 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: talk about two different things. Want to see you on Sunday, 433 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 1: which which you know about, which is basically a an 434 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: invitation to start thinking about social media health. We're gonna 435 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: do it by organizing events on Saturdays and on those days, 436 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: we'll ask people to either take a day off or 437 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: at least take a day off social media, or at 438 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: least recognize their social media use on that day. And 439 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: the other side, and the other thing that we're gonna 440 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: do is talk about financial literacy and the correlation between 441 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: that and mental health. So those are the two programs 442 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: that we're really going to develop and shoot to launch 443 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: next year. But I think, you know, with rolling those out, 444 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna be more focused, We're gonna be more organized. 445 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: And then and then obviously I hope we just continue 446 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: to sell shirts. That's a huge driving force behind all 447 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: of this. But we're just gonna keep growing. I think 448 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: about mental health during a time like this too, when 449 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: people it feels like all they do is they have 450 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: access to their phone and you couple see you on 451 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: Sunday with just overall mental health. How big of an issue, 452 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: I know, how big of an issue you thought it 453 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: was even before the pandemic. How big of an issue 454 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: do you think it is as we take this right now. Yeah, No, 455 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: it's a good question. I think it's huge. It's a 456 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: huge issue. I mean, if you look at rates of depression, suicide, 457 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: mental health issues in general since like twenty thirteen. I mean, 458 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: the trajectory has been has been not in a good direction. 459 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the rates have been doubling almost every year, 460 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: and then, like you said, you couple that with the 461 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: pandemic hitting people can't leave their houses, they can't interact 462 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: with other people. Like you said, they're they're doubling their 463 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: screen time. It's kind of just this perfect storm for 464 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: people to be in a really mentally unhealthy place. So 465 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna attack it full speed. We want to talk 466 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: about it. We want to make social media health a 467 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: term that people say, just like sleep health and just 468 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: like you know, food health and all those things, because 469 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: it's really important, and like you said, there's no better time. 470 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't think for you, Isaac. I know Chargers fans. 471 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: They see what you're doing, and they probably think, how 472 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: can I get involved? How can I help? How can 473 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: I be a part of the solution for a lot 474 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: of these issues. How do they do it? How do 475 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: they get involved with local human You already know what 476 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: the answer is. They can go by a shirt. That's 477 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: the simplest thing. I mean. We like to see ourselves 478 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: as facilitators, and we're facilitating giving UM and people can 479 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: just simply buy a shirt and we're donating all the 480 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: proceeds UM. And with those proceeds, we're doing cool things 481 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: like these tree giveaways and Thanksgiving food giveaways. But we're 482 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: also attacking mental health, financial literacy, a lot of really 483 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: cool things that need to be addressed. UH. And and 484 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: always tell people you can go to local human dot 485 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: com dot com. Uh, local human dot com.
