19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Papa's trying to get that advertisement, one of those like

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Instagram deals. That's what I'm trying to do. Hey, so

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: just let's react Brandon Staley. The first presser was ninety

22
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: six minutes. This one was about forty five or so,

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: so we we cut it in half. But uh, man,

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: he is a great Listen, a lot of insightful stuff.

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Pap will start with you. Yeah, I mean, I feel

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna learn so much from him as we

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: talked to him three times a week. Um, you know,

28
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: he's just you can tell why the Chargers, Uh, you know,

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: we're so interested in hiring him. And the first thing

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: they mentioned his communication skills and that thing that part

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: of him comes comes across, you know, during his press conferences. Um,

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously this staff has been announced. A lot

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: of these guys were sort of you know, reported on,

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the last few weeks, so we had

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: a general idea of where they were headed. But my

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway is that they have literally taken coaches from

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: all the best offensive staffs in football, the best offensive

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: s teams in football. And Brandon admitted as much today, Like, listen,

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: we wanted to target these guys because they worked for

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: these great coaches that are running schemes similar to what

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: we want to run with. Justin we talked about Shane

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Day working under Kyle Shanahan as his quarterbacks coach in

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco. That is probably the best offensive system in football,

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: just in terms of the schematics and how successful they

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: are with what they do out there in that offense.

46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Kroeger, the tight ends coach, am I pronouncing that correctly.

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: He worked for Matt Lafloor with the Packers that was

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the most efficient offenses in football this year. Obviously,

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: we've talked about the coordinators bringing Joe Lombardi, a guy

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: who worked for Sean Payton for fifteen years in New Orleans,

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: and then Brandon Staley obviously working very close with Sean McVay,

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: another highly respected offensive mind. So talking about pulling ideas

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: from all of these great offensive systems, and there is

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of overlap between these systems too. They're all

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: cut from, you know, the painting systems different, but between

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the Floor in Green Bay and Shanahan in San Francisco

57
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and mcveay with the Rams, they're all cut from the

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan offense, which is a lot of what the

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: Chargers were running last year. Anthony Lynn, of course played

60
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: for Mike Shanahan with the Broncos and wanted to implement

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: some of that stuff with a QB movement, the bootleg,

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: the wide zone, the play action, all of that kind

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: of stuff that's central to the Shanahan system. Now they're

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: going to carry over some of that stuff that they

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: did last year. Then they're going to pull from these

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: other systems that are all cut from that Mike Shanahan's cloth.

67
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: All three of those guys McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan and that

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: with Floor coach together under Mike Shanahan and Washball. So

69
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you can sort of see all these dots connecting in

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: terms of what this offense is going to look like.

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: But they are committed to pulling these different concepts and

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: pieces from all the best offensive football and football and

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: putting together something that is very unique and to use

74
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's words, on the cutting edge, which is what

75
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: you have to do to win football games in twenty

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty one. Yeah, Gil, before you go, just a quick

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: footnote to what you were mentioning in Washington that twenty

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: twelve year when they drafted RG three and kirk Cousins

79
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: the same year. What they did offensively took the league

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: completely off guard with just the RPOs and the zone

81
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: reads and everything that they had RG three do. And

82
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: then when kirk Cousins came in, they adapted. And to

83
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: your earlier point about picking from different offenses, this is

84
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: something where you pick and choose in an effort to

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: find not only the strengths of Justin but the strengths

86
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: of those around them. So it is exciting to see

87
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: different influences coming in and Brandon Stilly being open to

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: these different ideas. Gil, what about you, Yeah, because I

89
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: think that's probably, I guess the most exciting part. You know,

90
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a little bit of unknown. You

91
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: don't know how it's really gonna look, but there's a

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: lot of ingredients and blends from around the league. Again,

93
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, you hear the copycat league kind of thing,

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: but you know, usually it doesn't go go well when

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: you try to copy something to mimic it and force

96
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: it in there. So I think, you know, when training

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: cameras around or preseason, if the rpcson games, it's gonna

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: be kind of excited to see how you kind of

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: blend this together because, like you mentioned that the scheme

100
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: in Washington, you want something new, fresh that maybe in

101
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: ten years someone's gonna take over and use your scheme

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: and trying to kind of tinker with it. So I think,

103
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, with with Justin herb b n the foundation

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: and kind of having this diverse background, it's gonna be

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: very excited to account how do you kind of utilize

106
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: a guy who has every type of skill that you

107
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: are in a quarterback and how do you kind of

108
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: elevate him to the next level. So for me, I'm

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: very eager to see that, but it's still a little

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: bit of unknown, a lot of waiting to see. I know,

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to ask a couple of questions about where

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: players fit and this and that. But you know, once

113
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: you know the summer rose around, you're gonna see that

114
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: that whole blending together. And who knows, it could be

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: a little too much, it could be kind of complicated.

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: We don't know yet, but it sounds like he has

117
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: a approach but with the guys that Popper meant him

118
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: from different backups from New Orleans to Green Bay to

119
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: San Francisco. So I'm very eager to see how that

120
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: kind of turns out in summer. Yeah, and I'm eager

121
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: to see what the roster is gonna look like, because

122
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: it's one thing to talk about all these things, but

123
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: when we mentioned free agency and the fact that they

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: have nine picks in the draft, the roster is just

125
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna look different, point blank than it was in twenty twenty.

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to Jeff Duncan from

127
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: The Athletic last week about Joe Lombardi and just got

128
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: so fascinating. So first of all, I'm gonna plug. I'm

129
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna plug the look out, get the book out. I'm

130
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: gonna I am You know why I'm gonna get the

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: book out because I talked to Jeff before Week five

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: and this book had just come out and obviously just

133
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: had four touchdowns Monday Night football, But there was a

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: chapter in here dedicated to Joe Lombardi and kind of

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the system that they ran and just the complexities of

136
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: it and how Drew Brees intellectually was just able to

137
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: retain all that information, and it just it reminds me

138
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: of Justin and his smarts and his ability to retain

139
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff. A couple of the things

140
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: that really stood out that that Jeff mentioned that I

141
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: asked Brandon about today was just how he was able

142
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: to win in different ways. So when Breese was out,

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill's a completely different quarterback. He mentioned. Duncan mentioned

144
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: that Teddy and Breezes have some similar traits. M jameis

145
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Winston a guy that by all indications, the Saints are

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: pretty high on and bringing back all the development that

147
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: he made with jamis behind the scenes, so pop right,

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I think when you talked about Joe Lombardi, this is

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: a guy who learned under Sean Payton, worked alongside Drew Brees,

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: has seen a lot of different things. It may not

151
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: have worked out the way you wanted to in Detroit, Um,

152
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: but it sounds as if Joe's gonna be bringing some

153
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: of those Saints influences to LA. Yeah. Absolutely, I think

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the key with Joe Lombardi and this is the question

155
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: that really has to be asked in terms of whether

156
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: he's going to have success here. Did he learn from

157
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: his stint in Detroit, Because from everyone you talked to,

158
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, he was obviously coming from all of this

159
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: success in New Orleans. They have an immensely complex system

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: there because they can, because Drew Brees is capable of

161
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: running that kind of offense. Joelobardi wanted to take what

162
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: they did in New Orleans and bring it to Detroit,

163
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: and he wanted to run it with Matt Stafford. But

164
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: your players are different. You know, Matt Stafford is not

165
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. And I'm not saying that. You know that

166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the different levels of capacity, but I mean, Drew Brees

167
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: is a supercomputer. Like's not. He's not a normal human

168
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: being in terms of his ability to process information. So

169
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Joelobardi went there and tried to put this very complex

170
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: system and force it upon the players there and the

171
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff there, and it didn't work out. Now, he

172
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: has talked about since then, including when we talk to him,

173
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: that he has learned to be more flexible. And you

174
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: have seen offensive coordinators in in the past. Brian Dabel

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: is a perfect example a guy who wanted to take

176
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: this New England Josh McDonald's system and he wanted to

177
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: force it wherever he was going. And we're gonna do

178
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: this complex system. We're gonna have all these different different

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: calls and verbiages that we're gonna memorize all of this

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: stuff because Tom Brady was able to do it, so

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: you guys should be able to do it now. After

182
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: multiple stops, Brian Dable determined that, Okay, maybe this is

183
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: not the best route and instead, let's try and do

184
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: it our Let's try and more form it around our

185
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: players and what they do best, and let's be collaborative

186
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: and our Robert May's at The Athletic reported a great

187
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: feature about Brian Dable and one thing that he has

188
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: talked about in reporting out that feature is that Brian

189
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Dabele went to I'm forgetting his name the slow receiver

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo totally space in colbas and Aske and Coleby

191
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Easley said, listen, I used to run this stuff at

192
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: SMU that we called it the Mustang package. And there's

193
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: a specific set of plays that Brian Dable had never

194
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: been seen before. But he implements that group of plays

195
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: into the Bills system because he's more collaborative now. So

196
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: can we see the same development from Joe Lombardi. Can

197
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: he follow in that same path and learn from an

198
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: experience where maybe he wasn't as flexible and now he

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: can become more flexible. And I think that that brand

200
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Salley is creating an environment where that can happen. He's

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: not asking Joe Lombardi to recreate the same offense. He

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want that. He wants something new and unique, and

203
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: he's bringing in all these different coaches from different systems

204
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: to try and create something that's sort of this quilt

205
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: of various different, uh, you know, offensive systems. And so

206
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: that's really the question. Has he learned and will he

207
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: be more flexible? And I think he will. And going

208
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: back to what you said, you know he can implement

209
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: a complex system here, justin Herbert is capable of mastering

210
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: a complex system because he has that level of intelligence. Gil.

211
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about Joe, but Popper mentioned it

212
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: at the top. You bring in all these different influences

213
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: and Brandon Stanley spend a year with Sean McVay. So

214
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: brand Is Staley is going to want to be flexible

215
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: and I think all these coaches it seems like it's

216
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: going to be a collaborative effort and effort just be

217
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: really open minded, put the players on the field in

218
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the best position to be successful. Yeah, the same thing.

219
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know a current team that you hear

220
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: from all the coaches and Brandon Staley is that they

221
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: want to go to players strength, what do you do

222
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: well and how can we help you kind of you know,

223
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: expand them what you do well? Uh In For Lombardi,

224
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: you know he spent many years with the Saints and

225
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. You know he wasn't kind of you know,

226
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: earlier in his career he was kind of pushed it

227
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: down the field kind of thing. But he's more of

228
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: a short passes, get the ball up real quick, give

229
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: it to Alvin Kamara, gave it to Michael Thomas. But

230
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: with Herbert, you know he does have players like that,

231
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Austin, Austin Eckler, but Ken Joel Lombardi

232
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: and Brandon stated kind of, you know, expand the field

233
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: because that guy's a rocket armed we all see in

234
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the fifty yard passes from the back foot against pressure

235
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert. So I think we want maybe that

236
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: could be with Sean McBey as well. I don't know

237
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: how much you know, did it with with um Jerry Golf.

238
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: There was a lot of bootlegs and play action stuff.

239
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: I thot you might see him as well. But how

240
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: do you express the field? How do you do Patrick Mahomes,

241
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with Justin Herbert, how do you kind of

242
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: attack and keep devins under tow So I think you

243
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: will see a blend of maybe Sean McBay h and

244
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: what Champagne did with the Saints. But you gotta figure

245
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: out a way how to score fast, strike fast, Maybe

246
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: that Bruce Aaron's contact, but thing because you know her

247
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: was so good at that. But you don't want to

248
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: take away Keenan Addy. You don't want to take away

249
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: maybe Hunter Henry and Austin Eckler. But you gotta figure

250
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: out how do you get more Tyrant Johnson involved, more

251
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: jail and guy, how do you starts to feel with

252
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: Michaelham stuff like that. So again I'm very curious to

253
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: see how do you kind of put it together. But

254
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: like Papa was saying in you as well, Chris, you know,

255
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: it seemed like Joel Lombard does not want to force it.

256
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: He does not want him to be Drew Brees. He

257
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: can be on the mental side, but how do you

258
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of now, you know, work to the strength of

259
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: that rocket arm and how do you stretch the field?

260
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Maybe with Joel Lombardy working with a guy like Jamis

261
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Winston who likes to stress the field and take chances,

262
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: but you know, keep the balls security at the same

263
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: time for Justin, Herbert and Aybe, I could kind of

264
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: pan out for that kind of transition for Justin, Herbert

265
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: and Papa if it ain't broke, right. I mean, Justin

266
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: clearly got in a groove with what he was doing

267
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: last year too, So I don't think you're gonna deviate

268
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: too far off of what Justin was comfortable with. It

269
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: really thrived in last year, right, And there's a lot

270
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: of overlap, which is what Brandon Tilley was like alluding

271
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: to today. They were running a lot of the same stuff,

272
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: like like all of these Shanahan inspired systems, like they

273
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: are all based on the same set of principles, Like

274
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot of wide zone, it's bootlegs, it's play action,

275
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: and then you build it from that skeleton. So if

276
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: the skeletons are the same, then you can carry over

277
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the concepts. They might call them different things,

278
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: which is what Britain was getting into today, Like you know,

279
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: we call it this, they call it that. Here's what

280
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: we're going to call it. But it's all the same thing.

281
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: It's synonyms for the same concept, and so you're gonna

282
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: see a lot of the same stuff there's I mean,

283
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: and it's like what you said before, if it ain't broke,

284
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: don't fix it. But the question is can you get

285
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: it to another level? Right? Like all this stuff worked,

286
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: but were they calling it enough? Were they calling it?

287
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: And keep spots right like on third and one where

288
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: they putting the ball in justin Herbert's hands, like all

289
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. So it's not just what the

290
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: plays are, it's when you call them, and it's how

291
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: you use your different players over the course of a game.

292
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: And so that's why you know Joe Lombardi is going

293
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: to have such an impact here because it's going to

294
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: be calling these players. But philisophically, you know that the

295
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: philosophical approach has such an impact on the scheme. You know,

296
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: how are you calling plays and how are you going

297
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: about it? But absolutely there's going to be similarities to

298
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: what they did last year, but I think the philosophy

299
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit different. They're gonna trust

300
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: join Herbert a little bit more to make plays in

301
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: key situations. Gil I go back to last year winning

302
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: four straight to end twenty twenty, but doing it in

303
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: the division something they did they just did not do.

304
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: I think they were O nine before winning those last

305
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: three games. It's gonna be so important to build this

306
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: roster with those draft picks, with those free agents that

307
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: do come in here to win against the Chiefs, the

308
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Raiders in the Broncos. And the fact that you have

309
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of guys from Denver, but Denver ties, whether

310
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: it be stale A, Ronaldo Hill, having that familiarity, is

311
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: that Frank Smith who's coming in from from Las Vegas.

312
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I think having guys who are familiar inside the division

313
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: can only help this team kind of get over the

314
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: home there. Yeah, that's that's a good point, Chris. And

315
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: it feels like a long time ago that when they

316
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: were all and nine in the division. So that kind

317
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: of shows you when you win that you kind of

318
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: forget about it. You move real quick, and that's kinda

319
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I didn't forget. I did not forget that. I know

320
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: you're the record popper. It was a brutal stretch, but

321
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: like you've mentioned, Chris, they do have some influence from

322
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: the ABC West and when you're facing Patrick Mahomes, twice

323
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: a year in that Chief offense. I know they didn't

324
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: do too well in the Super Bowl, but they're gonna

325
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: be the same, you know, headache nightmare in twenty twenty one.

326
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: So you got to figure them out in that type

327
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: of way. So I think that's why Brandon stated was

328
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: a higher and why he brought he was brought into

329
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: coach to charge because you do have a lot of

330
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: pieces on the defense to kind of keep up with

331
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And we'll see how the Raiders do. They

332
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: were kind of a good offensive year ago, and the

333
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Broncos are always kind of pesky as well. But how

334
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: can Brandon state they kind of take this roster the

335
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: guys he has now, I think it's gonna be a

336
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of good pieces they're gonna come back from next

337
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: year and kind of elevate them. But also kind of

338
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: looking forward ahead, Chris to the draft, how do you

339
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of make this core group a little better, especially

340
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: on defense to kind of keep up or do and

341
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: also on offense, if you're gonna score points with the Chiefs,

342
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: you gotta protect justin Herbert and I know as we're

343
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: gonna go transition into but you gotta fix offensive line

344
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: you gotta really focus on that because you have a

345
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: lot of pieces on defense and you might want to

346
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: help build on secondary. Get some cornerbacks there, get a

347
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: little younger. But I know we're gonna go heavy on

348
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line, So we could go and talk about

349
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: it and let me add one more thing. Go ahead, good,

350
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: let me add one more thing before we get to

351
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line, because I know Gil is very passionate

352
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: about this topic. Me not so much. But Brandon Staley

353
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: is incredibly familiar with Vic Fangio's defensive scheme, right, Like

354
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: knows it inside and out. So now that's I mean, frankly,

355
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: that's been their biggest defensive, like their offense verus another defense,

356
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: like that's the toughest d they face in the division

357
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: every year is Broncos, just because Vic Fangio schemes at

358
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: such a high level and he does these different things

359
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: with the two high safeties and all that kind of

360
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: stuff in the quarters, and it's just different than what

361
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: you typically see. Right, But now you have a guy

362
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: that knows that defense probably as well as Vic Fangio, Right,

363
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a that's gonna be a massive advantage

364
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: in terms of game planning offensively for those Broncos games

365
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: every year. It's a great point, and it's it's something

366
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: that we mentioned it Staley's initial press or just the

367
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: relationship he's gonna have with just an independent of the

368
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: guys on the offensive side of the ball. It's a

369
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: free agency popper. You have an article out of the

370
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: kind of the top free agents available. What's unique about

371
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: that is that number is probably only going to grow

372
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: based on the cap and there's gonna be some surprise

373
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: names that we don't even know about it as we

374
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: tape this. So before free agency or I guess before

375
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: the draft is free agency. And then you talk about

376
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: the nine picks that this team has at number thirteen overall,

377
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: you have to see what they do in free agency.

378
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: But who are we talking about? This is okay? What

379
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: is this February February eleventh's number two? Early to talk

380
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: about the draft at number thirteen overall? Give me a

381
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: couple of names that you have your eye on. Gil

382
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: will start with you. If you're at thirteen and think

383
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: it's the Reshonse latter from Northwest there, Yeah, the Wildcat.

384
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: You gotta take them. Uh And I think I also

385
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: saw Popperhouse a little draft Mark too. I think the

386
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: guy from USC I'm blanking on the name Elijah, Yeah,

387
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: got it. So maybe those two guys are there. I

388
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: think you probably have to take those guys. You might

389
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: get a chance because it's a it's a I don't

390
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: know if it's a draft quarterback heavy draft, but it's

391
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: a it's a quarterback needy draft. And maybe four guys

392
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: might go on the top ten, maybe maybe five, So

393
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: you might get the picking of those two guys offensive lineman,

394
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: but those guys are not available, Dan, It's gonna be

395
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: interesting what do you do after offensive line? But but

396
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna harp on this, but you you

397
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: gotta gotta get offensive lineman. You don't want to reach,

398
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: but if those two guys are there, you gotta take

399
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: them and pull the trigger. Christian Derrissault too, the kid

400
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: from Virginia te Yeah, that's another one. So you're right.

401
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: I think if if quarterbacks go on the top ten,

402
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: even some wide receivers pushes some of that talent to

403
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: the Charges at thirteen poper might My counterpoint would be, Okay,

404
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: let's say the Chargers rest offensive line of free agency.

405
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: We know they have to develop guys in the draft,

406
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: no question. But if you see a guy like Caleb

407
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Farley or Patrick Surtan there at thirteen, and you know

408
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Darwin's coming back, and you know the cornerback could be

409
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: another position they need to identify in the draft or

410
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: free agency. Is that something that you're tempted by personally personally?

411
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: And then just yeah, personally, not tempted personally. Thirteen has

412
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: to be an offensive lineman. And I don't think I

413
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: don't care how many offensive linemen you sign a free

414
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: agency either, Like you got to start building this thing

415
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: from the ground up. You have to draft an offensive

416
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: lineman at thirteen, and you have to hit on him,

417
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: like it has been so long since they have draft

418
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman it's actually developed into a legitimate player.

419
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: So like that's got to happen personally personally. Now, in

420
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: terms of organizational philosophy, it is absolutely possible that for

421
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: Shan Slater and Penasul are off the board. They're not

422
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: super high in Alijah Vera Tucker, Caleb Caleb Farley's there

423
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: or certain or Kyle Pitts or a player like that,

424
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: and and the organization says, listen, we're gonna go for

425
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: the much more talented players opposed to addressing need that

426
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: is absolutely possible. I mean, even if they like one

427
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: of these edge rushers, I'm not even gonna try to

428
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: pronounce the names. But Georgia. I said this on a

429
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: podcast last week. I'm like, I don't get the pronunciations

430
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: down until March twentieth. Before then, I say the kid

431
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: from insert school here. If it's too hard to say

432
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: the kid from Georgia, and then quick, I'm gonna try

433
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: the Michigan guy quitty Pie. I think it's I don't

434
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: know if that's how you pronounced it. I'm sorry to

435
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: him for not knowing you have to pronounce his name.

436
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: But I'll get it by March twentieth, I promise. But

437
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: say say they feel like they need help an outside linebacker.

438
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: We just I mean, we just talked to Tom brandcilely

439
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: about where Joey Bose is gonna fit. He basically just

440
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: said that he's going to be a playmaker and then

441
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be an edge player. I think that

442
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: means that he's gonna be defensive end when they're in

443
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: four to three, when they're in nickel, which is going

444
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: to be most of the time and then you know,

445
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: he would come in into like a three technique defensive

446
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: end if they're in base, which they're never really going

447
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: to be in, so it doesn't really matter. Let's say

448
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: they feel like they need another pass rusher. You know,

449
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: they got Joey Bosa, they got Chennan Nuosu. You know,

450
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: are they going to resign Ingram. We'll see, but maybe

451
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: they feel like they can bring in a young pass

452
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: rusher to replace Ingram, to beef up that part of

453
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: the defense, a guy that fits the mold of exactly

454
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: what Brandon still is working for. I think that's absolutely

455
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: a possibility. And personally, I think it has to be

456
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. And you say, like, look, address the

457
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: offensive line and free agency, like they have. They have

458
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: to get so much more talent at the offensive line

459
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: that they can't just address it through the draft or

460
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: address it through free agency. It has to be both. YEA,

461
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: they have to be signed. They have to sign multiple

462
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and free agency, and they have to draft

463
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: multiple offensive linemen to get this group to a point

464
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: where they're talented enough to not just play play well

465
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: with the starters, but be able to weather these injuries.

466
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a year after year where they suffer

467
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: these injuries and everyone's like, oh, the Charges are bad

468
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: because they have offensive line injuries. Everyone has offensive line injuries.

469
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: It's about you have the depth to replace those starters

470
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: and continue to play at a high level and make

471
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl in the in the case

472
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, who you know, weathered the loss of

473
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell Schwartz, you know, it's it's about having enough depth.

474
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: So personally, is my personal opinion is a lot different

475
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: than what I think the Chargers could end up doing,

476
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 1: which should not be a surprise. Gil nine picks I

477
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. I want to get you

478
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: guys's opinion, and this is the best year to have

479
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: nine selections because there's some guys, with the way this

480
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: offseason is going to be just how it's unconventional. There's

481
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: no combine. Pro days are going to be weird. I mean,

482
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl was a great opportunity for a lot of

483
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: these teams to get in front of some of these

484
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: guys in person and spend some time with them. But

485
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: but to have nine picks. Let's say in the second

486
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: round there could be an offensive tackle with first round

487
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: talent that you can get um. You know, I think

488
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: it's a combination of Okay, it could be a crapshoot

489
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: because you don't have a full body work over the

490
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: last twelve months, But at the same time, it's a

491
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: great opportunity to maybe have some talent fall down to you,

492
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: especially if you have extra picks. Yeah, and especially on

493
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: offensive line when we keep talking about it. But you're

494
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of free agent on the offensive line,

495
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: from Sam Tevid the forests, not the Dan Feening to

496
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: even Mike Pouncy being gone, So you're gonna need a

497
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of those picks and maybe free agents that kind

498
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: of rebuild that. But yeah, you're right. It seems like

499
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: it happens every year. Is you go back and you

500
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: kind of look at these uh these these uh drafts

501
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: from yours pass and you see the second round, third round,

502
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: like how did this guy? How did this guy fall?

503
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: And that in the lap of a certain team. So

504
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: there will be some players they're gonna they're gonna fall.

505
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: But this is finally the year the Charges don't neglect

506
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: offensive line because they that chance is a draft officsive

507
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: line in the second round, third round, and they kind

508
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: of just always overlook it. The last time they did

509
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen. With that, with the crop of

510
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: guys I just mentioned, you know a lot of mixtroisodes there.

511
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: But when nine picks and with Tom tell Us, who

512
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: likes to build through the draft, you know, doesn't you

513
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: know it doesn't spend too much. I mean he does

514
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: occasionally on the free agency side, but also it's it's

515
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: a big I feel like it's a bigger risk and

516
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: free agent and see you sign these veterans, you know

517
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't pan out the coin on the decline. You

518
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: want you want to lay that foundation with this young guys.

519
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a young league. You're always always it's allowed turnover.

520
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: So with nine picks, you could you could hit on

521
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: some of these guys and may not. May it could

522
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: be you know, you know you you also you want

523
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: to you want to get greedy. You want to build

524
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert Man. You can find him a tight end,

525
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and know they he has plenty of

526
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: those right now. But the league changes so much. You

527
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta have like a minor league. You have

528
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: guys ready, like you guys mentioned when injuries happened, you

529
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: gotta have guys ready to develop and to be a playmaker.

530
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: And on defense as well, you know you need some

531
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: help on the defensive line. You have Joey Bosa, but

532
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: maybe Milan Ingram is not back. You're kind of old

533
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: on cornerback. You don't know what's gonna happen with Casey

534
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Hayward and Chris Harris Junior. Uh so those picks are

535
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: gonna go. I think I'd be spread out for throughout

536
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: the whole roster. And rookie rickie deals are cheaper too, Like,

537
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: it's not just it's not just that you want these

538
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: guys developing. It's at the costs lest against your cap,

539
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: you know. And Tom has alluded to this, and he

540
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: said all important rookie deals are gonna be this year

541
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: with the cap dropping. The cap is dropping, but then

542
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: also you have to factor in, Okay, the cap isn't

543
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: going to be where we expected it to down the

544
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: line either, because if it's say it's at you know,

545
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: it's projected now one eighty one million, right for this year.

546
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: It's not all of a sudden just gonna jump back

547
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: up to like to twenty where everyone expected it to

548
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: be in twenty twenty two, Like it's now down and

549
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: it's going to incrementally increase from there. So having rookie

550
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: deals is essential. Like you want these young players because

551
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: they can develop, but they also cost a lot less

552
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: and that's crucial. Like everything revolves around the cap in

553
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that's the thing too. Development of the

554
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: guys who are currently on rookie deals, you know, guys

555
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: like Nazaderlie and Jerry Tillery and Trey Pipkins. When we

556
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line, maybe this staff see something

557
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: that they're like, Okay, this guy is young enough, we

558
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: can develop him into the player we think he can be.

559
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: And that's what I think it is interesting about this

560
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: staff is that you know they're gonna look at this

561
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: roster with fresh eyes, and it's something that we're gonna

562
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: probably see it unfold throughout the course of the off season,

563
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: going into the preseason and obviously September um. But that's

564
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: what another thing I think we should all look out

565
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: for is, Okay, maybe there are some things that they

566
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: see in certain players that maybe haven't played out on

567
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: the field to this point. Yeah, they also could be

568
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: the opposite too, but they can also they can look

569
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: at some of these guys and be like this guy's

570
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: this guy's not an NFL player and cut him Like

571
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: that could happen to the question, yeah, our boys is

572
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: coming around, would it? Gil? Especially free agency always kind

573
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: of the connection with oh, this RAM player or this

574
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: Bronco player or this Bear player is going to come

575
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: in and take a job with somebody currently on the charge.

576
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: So I'm curiously how that kind of pans out in

577
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: the offseason. And that's the thing too, is like some

578
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys have great familiarity with what Staley

579
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: does defensively or we're offensively too. I mean, you talk

580
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: about some of these coaches who who worked closely with

581
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: maybe some guys who are going to be interested to

582
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: free agents. So um, that's something that bears watching. Final

583
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: thoughts from today. Like I said, Staley, he gives you

584
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: rat infoman forty five minutes talking about this new coaching staff. Gil,

585
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: We'll start with you. I just I just think it's

586
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, just fresh idea, something new, and it seems

587
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: like it's very toy and toy on football and not

588
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: just copying. Like like I've mentioned it, it's being ahead

589
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: of the curve. And you always get that sense like,

590
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: like Popper I mention, we're always kind of learning something

591
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: when we talked to me. I know, it's it's a

592
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: long period of time. You're supposed to learn something when

593
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: you're talking that much. But yeah, it seems like he

594
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: has good people's skills, a good leader. But again, to

595
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: you get to the football field, we don't know what's

596
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: going to happen. But so far, these first two interviews,

597
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley and the coaching he's made, I am impressed.

598
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: I do like this staff. It's very diverse. He hired

599
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: a good amount of minority coaches as well. Yes, overall

600
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: for me, he checks a lot of boxes. Pop yeah, yeah,

601
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean just piggyback off what Gil said. The one

602
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: word that he to phrase that he kept that Brandon

603
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: Staley kept using over and over again was cutting edge. Right.

604
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: We want to be at the cutting edge in pro football.

605
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: We want to be on the cutting edge of a

606
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of things. How we teach, how we lead, These

607
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: are things that he said, Like, that is what it takes.

608
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 1: You have to be thinking three four steps ahead of

609
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: where previous of those previous Chargers coaching staff was thinking. Like,

610
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: you have to want to be innovative, you want to

611
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: come up with brand new ideas. You don't want to

612
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: do what has worked in the past because that's not

613
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: going to work in the future. And I think that

614
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: philosophy is crucial. Now, how is that going to manifest itself?

615
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: Is That's what I'm most fascinated with, Like what is

616
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: it going to look like on the field? What is

617
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: it gonna look like for game management decisions? Right? They

618
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: talked a lot about how they brought Darius Swinton in

619
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: to be, you know, a guy on the sideline who's

620
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: helping with game management stuff. How is that mechanism actually

621
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: going to work? Now? Darius Swinton specifically isn't an analytics guy.

622
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: He's more of like a football savvy game management type guy.

623
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: But how much are they going to put, you know,

624
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: factor in analytics to their decisions? Brand Stilly mentioned it

625
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: today that they're going to use it, But how much

626
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, Like the Ravens, for example, have a twenty

627
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: five year old I guess it's twenty six. Now, you

628
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: know Yale economics major who sits in the booth and

629
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: days in hardball's here, right, right? Are they gonna have

630
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: a guy like that? Are they gonna lean into it

631
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: that much, because that would be cutting edge, Like, if

632
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: you really want to be cutting edge, you can lean

633
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: fully into analytics and make your decisions strictly off win

634
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: probability models like that that could happen. Now, are they

635
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: willing to go that far? That's what I'm sort of

636
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: fascinated to see. But I think in terms of schematics,

637
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: in terms of what they're gonna do with their players,

638
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: that is absolutely going to be on the cutting edge.

639
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: And I'm really really interested to see sort of how

640
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: all the pieces fit together and what it specifically means schematically,

641
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively moving forward. I don't think, guys,

642
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: what are you writing? What are you writing this week?

643
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: Go hey? You know, I like you mentioned chriss a

644
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: long pressers. I gotta transcribe a lot, and I usually

645
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: ask when I get kind of my little nuggets there.

646
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: But I think maybe more where players fit. I know

647
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: we asked about Joey Bosa kenn of Murray and maybe

648
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: just in Herbert and how everything's gonna look. We're gonna

649
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: pa write about this with a whole the entire obtund

650
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: and how's this scheme on deeferm than novels gonna look,

651
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to figure it out. If we're gonna guess,

652
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: me and Papa are gonna gonna compete who got it right,

653
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: who got it wrong? Oh, competition, and you'll talk about

654
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I know it. But yeah, obviously for today, I'm just

655
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna go more of you know, the coaching staff and

656
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: the hires and what to look forward with these new

657
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: guys in charge paper All right, will you right? This week?

658
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: So I got I have a ton of content out

659
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: there I had earlier this week, I published UM forty

660
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: one perspective free agents that they could target. Twenty seven

661
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: of them are offensive linemen. It is literally I think

662
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 1: every every single free agent they could potentially target, Like

663
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm banking on all of their signings being on that list,

664
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: and if they're not, I'm going to be very dissabill

665
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: like we said, Like we said, that list is going

666
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: to be growing probably once once the cap casualties start

667
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: rolling in. But that's like the guys that are going

668
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: to be understood to free agents, they're all in there.

669
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: And I wrote about the fit with the team and everything,

670
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: so you go check that out. UM. Just now, I

671
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: published a three potential trade scenarios for Orlando Brown Junior.

672
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Put that together with our Ravens beat writer, and that

673
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: has you know why a certain trade package might work

674
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, why it might not, why it would

675
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: work for the Ravens, why what might not? And that

676
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: will give you an idea of sort of where the

677
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: market is there. I know fans are really interested in that.

678
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: I have a column up today, little analysis piece on

679
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: our mock draft that ran Dane Brugler's mock draft. They

680
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: took Elijah Vera Tucker. I talked about his fit with

681
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: the team and sort of the overall philosophy of offensive lineman.

682
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have analysis on this staff up later this

683
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: week and then what a next week We're doing a

684
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: mail bag and oh and I'm also going to dive

685
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: into the film next week and look at, you know,

686
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: where the Rams film from last year to see sort

687
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: of where all of the Chargers pieces might fit with

688
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: this new scheme, sort of where Joey Bosa might fit,

689
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: what maybe where he could relate to what player on

690
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: the Rams das last year, Kenneth Mary, Derwin, James, all

691
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: those guys. So the off season is the season machine.
