1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: The late fifteen ten touchdowns. What's up, guys, Welcome into

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: a week fifteen edition of Chargers Weekly, as always, joined

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: by Matt money Smith. Chargers beat the Dolphins on Sunday

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Night Football and coincidentally, Money just swimming with the Dolphins.

5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: You were just telling about that. How about that hunt? Yeah,

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: this morning not at a Bolsa Cheek. Ended up getting

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of like a lot of probably like

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: twenty of them, man bunch of pups just flipping around

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: in the waves, and ended up having them just swoop

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: below me kind of getting the wave with me. It

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: was freaking awesome. So they I think acknowledged the Charger's

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: dominance on Sunday and they were like, all right, you win, Well,

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: we'll give you your reward. Here we are. We're going

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: to swim around with you for a little bit. And

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: now I just gotta lean in after you. Somebody posted

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: it what a mess my hair was and what I said.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: That was funny. Who did that, I don't know. It

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: was just somebody who listens, We appreciate you, but yes,

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't have time. Saltwater might come dripping out of

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: my nose during these things. It's it's it's a disaster,

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: so money talking to Dolphins, talking to Dolphins a sporting

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: one name, two one name waddle right exactly and well,

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: actually know because these Dolphins actually were able to move

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: around and gain some ground. So I don't know which.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: I guess they were, like j Len and Christian would

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: be their names based on how things went on Sunday.

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Chargers win on Sunday night. They beat a playoff caliber

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: football team. They get to seven and six. That was

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: the jolt they needed. You know, we had talked about

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: it for so long, beating a team that you would

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: actually see in January. They do it. They improved to

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: seven and six. The defense played awesome. Two hundred nineteen

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: total yards of offense by the Dolphins, not including that

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: crazy fumble that Tyreek picked up right place, right time,

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: justin was incredible, three hundred and sixty seven yards. And

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: I think the theme of the offense was Keenan and

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Mike on the field together. It looked like shades of

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one right when they were putting up thirty

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: five forty one points in a game. Man, I think

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: something you brought up, Chris Corey Linsley, you know, you

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: get those three guys back, and you're talking about three

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: of the most important pieces on the field, you know,

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: for Justin and I think also it cannot be minimized

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: just the health. It's clear that he was affected and

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: was a lot more injured than the Chargers, and Justin

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: led on because he just looks like a different guy,

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: the way he's moving, his willingness to run. You know,

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: even with Corey back. Look, there was still a lot

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: of pressure right Christian Watson was in the backfield. It

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: seemed like every single time the ball was snapped, you know,

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips had a ton of pressures. I think the

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: pressure total, if I remember right, was in the forties again.

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: But this time he's just able to whatever. I'll just

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: I'll scoot up here and move to my left set throw.

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I'll bool up, you know, bail out boot to the

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: right set throw. And Mike is just so good. Mike

57
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: Williams was so freaking good at and you're talking about

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: what six targets, six receptions, one hundred plus yards touchdown.

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: We say it all the time. Those aren't fifty fifty balls.

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Those are ninety ten balls. When you throw him to Mic.

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: The first Catchy made was stupid, you know, just that

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: adjustment and basically, you know, the old bowl of Dritos

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: is Marty Schottenheimer liked to call it off the head

64
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: of Xavier Howard. So you know, we were joking with

65
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Mike Golik, who joined as he was on the call

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: for Sunday an Football with Westwood One. We well, we

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: weren't joking, you know. I asked him, I said, hey,

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: what do you make of all of the you know,

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty redraft and the talk about where would Herbert go?

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: And Herbert versus two? And you know, I don't want

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: to speak for him, but he was just like, come on, man,

72
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: He's like, what are we doing? Like, come on, like

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing ever. You know. The the

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: idea that somehow Herbert has regressed and that you would

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: take three or four guys and maybe in the NFL

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: over him is the conversation. And I think he reminded everybody.

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: And you know what I think it we think of

78
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Justin is kind of a robot, right. He never gets

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: too high, he never gets too low. It's just I

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: don't know what the Herbert jeans are, but you know,

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: i'd probably submit there's maybe got to be some German

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: in there. There's just such a steadiness to him and

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: such a process, and this is what I'm here to do.

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: I will complete my task and I will move on.

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: You know. But I think you saw, and I think

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: the team fed off it on Sunday that he was like, hey,

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: enough of this crap. You know, I am here with

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: the eyes of the nation upon me to remind everybody.

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: With my guy Mike and my guy Keenan and Corey

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: out here, I am here to remind everyone who I am,

91
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: what I do, and you better pay attention. Yeah, And

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: it's it's less about two. It's more about these guys

93
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: getting their groove back and trying to get into the playoffs.

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Justin was fantastic. Thirty nine to fifty one, three to

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: sixty seven and a touchdown. You mentioned Mike six for one, sixteen,

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Keenan twelve catches for ninety two yards. There was a

97
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: drive in the fourth quarter of money that I kind

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: of coined that the Keenan Allen drive. They were going

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: to him and he was moving the chains. And when

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: you see Mike and Keenan on the field from start

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: to finish, this was the first time we saw it.

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: You see what this offense is capable of? Go ahead?

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: DJ said it in the on the broadcast, and I

104
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: think he's right. You know, we even asked coach Staley

105
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: after the game, and I think it was too close

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: for him to kind of really wrap his head around it,

107
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: but we said it might not. You know, it's it's

108
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the drive of the year and it just netted a

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: field goal, but because it made it a two score game,

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: and to heck with four minute offense, it was eight

111
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: minute offense. And like that's the thing is you can

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: look at the totals and say, hey, three sixty seven touchdown,

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: no interceptions, but like you look at that drive converted

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: a third and five with the throw of the year,

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: and it was it was just a nine yard throw.

116
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: But it's a third and five and there is ten

117
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: minutes five seconds left on the clock and you're up

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: by six and man Keenan runs that out to the

119
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: left sideline. He is covered, there might be one inch

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: of separation and Herbert just freaking threads that laser. You know,

121
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: it went for nine yards on the stat sheet, that

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: ball probably traveled thirty yards on a freaking rope and

123
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're so far removed now that the

124
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: people that watch film and breakdown games, they've posted it

125
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: so you can find it out there. But like Keenan

126
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: called that ball, he gets out of bounds, he turns

127
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: around and he looks at Herbert and he's just like,

128
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: boy who you know, it's just exactly like there's there

129
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: are many guys and I don't know if there are

130
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: any guys in the league that can make that throw.

131
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's the third and five. Now he's got

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: a third and three with eight forty four to go.

133
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: Very next, you know, the very next set of plays,

134
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: there were a third down bang, as you said, Keenan,

135
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Allen Drive throws to Keenan for five and a first down.

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Right now he's got another third and eight. There's still

137
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: five minutes, eighteen seconds. You know, this is on the

138
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Miami thirty. It's in dicker range. But five minutes left

139
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: in this game, so still plenty of time to get

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: a quick score. We now explosive to my emmy offense

141
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: is and what does he do freaking that scramble? And

142
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it repeatedly, Chris on this show.

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: I want to see him use those legs. He is

144
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: such an exceptional athlete and more often than not, at

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: least at some point in the game, that green is

146
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: there for him. And I think that's where the whole

147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: comment I made about the injury and not letting on.

148
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I think now that these games mean what they mean,

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: you better went out to get into the playoffs. Like

150
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: now you're seeing it now, it's like, Okay, now I'm

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna put myself in harm's way. I'm gonna get that scramble.

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: And that's when you saw that emotion come out, you know,

153
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: when he did the whole mic drop first down signal.

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: It's just something we haven't really seen from him. So

155
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: I think as much as he might, you know, tell

156
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you he wasn't paying attention and doesn't pay attention, and

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: I could believe that too. I think there's a little

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: something extra going into this one. Yeah, he also knows

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: what's at stake here, you know, to get to seven

160
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: and six. Based on everything that happened on Sunday, a

161
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: lot of things went the Charger's way, right except for Monday,

162
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: where the Patriots beat the Cardinals. But you know, the

163
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Jets losing, the teams that were behind the Chargers that

164
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: we thought could make a little bit of a run

165
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Raiders. They lost. I think since he

166
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: has really kind of cemented themselves into the postseason, they

167
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: they win the division now. But but now the team

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: is seven and six, and let's get to the defense

169
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: to a ten of twenty eight. He was off target

170
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: all evening. But we talked about the fact that, okay,

171
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: this this may be a game you get to score

172
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: thirty to win, and I'm so glad we were wrong.

173
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that this this defense allowed just two

174
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards of offense to the Dolphins. No

175
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Derwin James, no Bryce Callahan, no Sebastian Joseph Day, the

176
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: way that they played in the secondary, and really money,

177
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Let's just start with the first play. They take a

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: deep shot to Tyreek Hill. Look at a Loehi Gilman

179
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: kipping the ball away saying, no, it's not gonna be

180
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: like that tonight. It was Brandon Staley's best game. I

181
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't. I don't think there's any question about that.

182
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, look, he had a great he had a

183
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: couple great games last year against the Chiefs. I thought

184
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: his game plan was as good as any we'd seen

185
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: trying to crack the code that was Mahomes. Of course,

186
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the one in Kansas City would have been I think

187
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: it would have probably registered as that had those two

188
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: interceptions not gotten taken away from the Chargers, that should

189
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: have stayed interceptions. But to me, look, with the Chips

190
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: being down, got to win this game own the tiebreaker

191
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: between the team that looks like it very well could

192
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: end up with the same record as you at the

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: end of the season. And again with a rookie sixth

194
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: round pick playing the slot instead of one of the

195
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: best slot corners in the league, Bryce Callahan and Alloie Gilman,

196
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: who's been solid every time he's been called upon, and

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but

198
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: in place of the best safety in the league in

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Derwin James, and I bring those two up because now

200
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: you've you've got to slow down this passing attack. That's

201
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the number one passing attack in the NFL, and many

202
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: just had a superior approach and scheme and plan for

203
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: this offense. And the way he took out their go

204
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: to play, you know, the motion Tyreek waddle two man

205
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: game one goes outside on the curl. The other one

206
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: goes inside on the curl. It's a layered concept and

207
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: they just wouldn't let him get inside, and they pressed.

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Instead of playing scared, they played strong and it changed

209
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: and DJ said it. You know, he said it from

210
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: the go. You know, he's like, oh, I like this.

211
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: He goes there. Their linebackers are getting depth there, their

212
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: clog in the middle. They are making sure. You know,

213
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: Kenneth almost had that interception, you know, and Drew knocked

214
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: that ball down. That would have been a big completion.

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: And I think that was a bit of a warning

216
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: sign to two, like no, no, no no, no, you're gonna

217
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: have to operate outside the numbers. You don't like doing it,

218
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: but it's all we're giving you, and it's clear that

219
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: he was not comfortable doing that. You mentioned the ten completions.

220
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Remember four of those were on the drive when the

221
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Charge are playing soft coverage, just trying to get that

222
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: thing under the two minute warning, knowing as long as

223
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: they don't score before the two minute warning, they've got

224
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: to recover an outside kick to win this game. So

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: it was three of seventeen at halftime. Yeah, I five

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: in completions. There's something in the in the third quarter

227
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: of middle of the third quarter or something like that. Yeah,

228
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a masterful plan and

229
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: it was an aggressive plan. And I love that. You know,

230
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go down, go down on your shield.

231
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, pardon the pun with it being the NFL,

232
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: but you know, don't go down, run and scared and

233
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: try and to keep these guys in front of you,

234
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: because that's just we've seen what this team has done,

235
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, to the tune of two hundred and ninety

236
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: passing yards per game and a guy that had one

237
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: hundred more receiving yards than the next closest receiver in

238
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: the league in Tyreek Hill. I mean, he broke the

239
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins single season record, you know, in their thirteenth game.

240
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Like it's so I love what coach did. And I

241
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: also just you know, I think because you're down as

242
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: much as you are on that line, like to see

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: more and Fox, who's been he's been so good all year. Um,

244
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: just kind of breakthrough with that huge sack. And to

245
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: see Van Noy, I mean he had a Van Noy drive.

246
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: It was the three and out tackle for loss on

247
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: first down, sack on third down for his first sack

248
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: of the season, So kudos to coach, to Josser, who

249
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: played fantastic in the slot. I mean he pretty much

250
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: was looking at Waddle the whole game. You know, Wadle

251
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: had nothing. Wadle had I think he had his first

252
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: catch in the fourth quarter. Yeah, so you know, you

253
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: credit all those guys. It's a great plan executed perfectly,

254
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: and I do think it's got the potential to have

255
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: um a carryover effect and it's not just a single

256
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: loss for the Dolphins and not just a single win

257
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. But I think you know, now all

258
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: the talking heads all week long, there is an immense

259
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: amount of pressure on Mike McDaniel and TUA to not

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: lose their third straight, to not you know, show that

261
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: the book is out and now we know what to do.

262
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Staley gave a blueprint to the rest

263
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: of the league of how you slow this team down,

264
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: and now they've got to overcome that. And I think

265
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: on the flip side, it's Herbert saying, hey, guess what

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: I got. I got Gerald Everett, I got Mike Williams,

267
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I got Keenan Allen, I got Corey Linsley out here.

268
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Watch how explosive. This is now enough with your six

269
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: and a half yards per attempt and all I'm doing

270
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: is taking checkdowns. Let's go get it. Yeah, we'll get

271
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: into that offense against the Titans on Sunday real quick.

272
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: On this defensive performance again the money. I look at

273
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, seventeen points, seven points come off that ridiculous

274
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: fumble picked up by Tyreek right place, right time, nothing

275
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: but green grass in front of him, and it's sixty

276
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: of one hundred and forty five passing yards from TWA

277
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: come off a play where Mike Davis falls down and

278
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Tyreek scores. And you know you're not gonna hold Tyreek

279
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: down for four quarters. I don't care who you are. Yeah,

280
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,239
Speaker 1: that's just that's just who he is. He's that ridiculous.

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned Brandon Staley having like two of his best

282
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: games last year against Kansas City. He knows all about

283
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill and what Tyreek Hill can do for an offense.

284
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: I thought they played masterfully get given up or not

285
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: allowing that the middle of the field to be utilized

286
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: by TWA. So now a completely different brand of football

287
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: comes to SOFI Stadium on Sunday. The reeling Tennessee Titans.

288
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: They've lost three straight the first time since Mike Vrabel

289
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: took over in twenty eighteen. They desperately need a win.

290
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: So they're coming into SOFI knowing that the Jags are

291
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: kind of nippet at their heels. The Jags have Dallas

292
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They don't want to lose this game and

293
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: then have some sort of tiebreaker situation a week eighteen

294
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: where the Jags somehow get in. So this is a

295
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: really big game for the Titans, and it's a huge

296
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: game for the Chargers when you consider what's going on

297
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: right now. Right now, they're in eighth place outside looking in.

298
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: The Patriots, who played the Raiders on Sunday, have the

299
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: tiebreaker over them. The Jets have the Lions, and you

300
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: mentioned those Dolphins Saturday night in Buffalo, snowy Buffalo, single degrease, single,

301
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: single degrease. I look at all those teams, right. I

302
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: guess if you're a Charger fam money, you're rooting for

303
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the Bills on Saturday Night. You got a root for

304
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders the Sun and then you got a root

305
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions against the Jets. And I look

306
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: at that Dolphins team This could be tricky for them.

307
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: They could kind of fall out of favor here because

308
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: of that tiebreaker that the Chargers have over them. Now.

309
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the good thing is, even though they're sitting

310
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: in number eight right now, the Chargers are still in control,

311
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: like they It doesn't seem like it because they're not

312
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: in the seven, but they do. Because the Dolphins and

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots play each other, So either the Patriots will

314
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: end up with one more loss than the Chargers, or

315
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins will end up with the same record as

316
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and they only had to had tiebreakers, so

317
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: it's all still there. They don't have to cheer for

318
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: anyone unless they're planning on losing a game. Look the Titans,

319
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: they are dealing with serious injuries, you know, and if

320
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: you go through look, not all losses and not all

321
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: wins are equal and aren't the same. So I think

322
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: if you look at the way they've lost these last

323
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: two weeks, how beat up their secondary is. You know,

324
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley out, j Moore is out, Elijah Molden is out.

325
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: They've lost their best defender this year. David Long has

326
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: been exceptional as that interior linebacker man. He has been

327
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: everywhere and he's out on ir one of their best

328
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: pass rushers, Errold Landry, is out, Like really, they are

329
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: decimated on that side of the ball. Chris, and you

330
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: mentioned a different style of play and what they want

331
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: to do. You know, they want to get a lead

332
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: and then they want to lean on you, lean on

333
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: you with Derrick Henry and keep your offense off the

334
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: field and play that great sound defense. And what happened

335
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: these last two weeks, you know, look the Dolf the

336
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Bengals game was kind of more of that Titan style

337
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: of game. Twenty to thirteen. I think they lost. Grind

338
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: it out. Can you get that last possession, you know,

339
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: and get out to win? You know? So, but the

340
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: two after that, man, that's that's what this has to

341
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: look like. Yeah, you know, it's it's play to your strengths.

342
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: It's Mike Williams downfield, It's Keenan Allen middle of the field.

343
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: It's Gerald Everett without David Long out there middle of

344
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the field. It's like, you know, I want to see

345
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: that nine yards you know, per attempt style offense, attack

346
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: the secondary, get up because I'll tell you I went

347
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: through there. I was going through and just kind of

348
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: watching plays. And as I was watching all the plays

349
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: back to back to back, I was like, you know,

350
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 1: let me kind of just go back and look at

351
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: the play. Let me look at the play by play

352
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: for each of these and man, I'll tell you when

353
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: you they just don't know what to do when they

354
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: get down, it's a disaster. Like when they get down

355
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: by two scores, you start looking okay, So now they're

356
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: down twenty six fourteen, three plays negative twenty yards, punt,

357
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: three plays zero yards, punt, one play negative six yards, fumble,

358
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Like that's what it starts to look like because they

359
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: just can't do what they want. And that was the

360
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game last week. Now, granted, they really I don't

361
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: expect them to turn the ball over in the first

362
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: half three times and at least to seventeen points. I

363
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: mean that, you know, they really did themselves in in

364
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: that game. But if you go to Philly, like that

365
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: game is kind of tight through the first quarter and

366
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: a half, you know, two quarters, you know, and then

367
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Philly gets that late touchdown right

368
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: before the half. And now I go to the third

369
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: quarter and three plays negative seven yards, punt, four plays,

370
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: nine yards punt, four place negative ten yards punt, four plays,

371
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: ten yards punt. That's what I'm getting at, and so

372
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: that's that's the key, and that's what I have in

373
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Mike Back and Keenan Back. And we know what Austin's

374
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: able to do. If you commit too many resources on

375
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: the back end, Well, now here comes your check down

376
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: on your screens and Austin's going, you know, crazy on

377
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: those sort of plays. So the fact that that they've

378
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: got all these guys back now on that side of

379
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: the ball, I think changes the calculus dramatically for Joe Lombardi.

380
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: And you can get back to what this thing looked

381
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: like last year. And all the people complain about stick

382
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: and dig and curl and checkdowns and not going through

383
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: your progressions, Okay, enough, you got to see what it

384
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: looked like last week. And I think they're gonna see

385
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: a double down effect this week, and you're going to

386
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: see a lot of explosive plays out there on the field.

387
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: If Trevor Lawrence and the Jags can do it, if

388
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and their Eagles can do it, I have

389
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: no reason to not believe Justin Herbert and the Chargers

390
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: can do it. Yeah, it's quite simple. Don't play their

391
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: style right, fight right, you want to play your style

392
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: of fight. And I think the Titans a few weeks

393
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: ago went to Arrowhead, played their style of football. Darnier

394
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: won it in overtime. Right. You look at the last

395
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: two weeks, Jalen Hurts three hundred eighty yards a J.

396
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Brown going off. Hurts was the NFC Offensive Player of

397
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: the week. The following week, Trevor Lawrence three hundred and

398
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. Evan Ingram went crazy and Trevor Lawrence

399
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: was the AFC Offensive Player of the week. And you

400
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: notice what happened. It's it's completely just echoing what you said.

401
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: But Derrick Henry had ninety six of his one hund

402
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: any one rushing yards in the first quarter, so twenty

403
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: five yards. When they get down and they don't have

404
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: a plan, b it gets ugly. It gets ugly for

405
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: the Titans. So I say, it's it's really easy that

406
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: the key is to stop in Derrick Henry and to

407
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: get up early on this team. And what I was

408
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of confused by last week, Bunny, was why Mike

409
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: McDaniel and company didn't try to run the ball a

410
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: little bit more, especially early in that game, to kind

411
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: of set the tone. They kept throwing the ball and

412
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: kept missing, and then you know, you get to a

413
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: point where you know, it doesn't really make sense to

414
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: run the ball in the second half, Jeff Wilson gets hurt.

415
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: But I was a little confused why Miami didn't try

416
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the Chargers run defense last week.

417
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it out. I was just about

418
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: to say it. I'm glad you did, because that's the

419
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: key is Miami could have run the ball. They were

420
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: running the ball effectively, and for whatever reason, they abandoned it.

421
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: So there's you know, I give you the positive. Now,

422
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: the flip side of that is, you know, you have

423
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to slow down Derrick Henry,

424
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, because he can run and he can you know,

425
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: with how this Chargers run defense has behaved all season long,

426
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, just crazy to think that this isn't

427
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: going to be an incredible challenge for them. It is,

428
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: and it is curious. I don't I'm sure going back

429
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: that Mike McDaniel's going to be sick looking at the

430
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: tape because he could have run. You know, Jeff Wilson

431
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: was running hard. Raheem Moster was running hard. They're gonna

432
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: five six yards per carry, you know, and they just

433
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: got rid of it. And now they're off schedule, you know,

434
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: because maybe they got three on first down incomplete second down,

435
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: now it's third and seven and here we come and

436
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: two is not comfortable, so you know, and that just

437
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: tended to be you know, sort of. And then they

438
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: were throwing on first down, and now they're behind the

439
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: sticks on second down, and it just seemed like they

440
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: were constantly playing catch up. That's not going to be

441
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: the Titans. They are going to give the ball to

442
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry on first or second down every single drive,

443
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to try to keep them off schedule,

444
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be easy. The one thing I

445
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: will say, especially if Durwin's not out there, you know,

446
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully he will be, you know, yesterday, we're doing

447
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: this on Thursday. Yes was scheduled day arrest. So we'll

448
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: see whether or not Derwin can get out there with

449
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: that quad. But you know, it's gonna be another Lowe Gilman,

450
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: Drew Trank, Will Kenneth Murray, you know type game. Make

451
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: sure those run fits are right, and get after it,

452
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, and it will not be easy. I can

453
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. So the idea that they've

454
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: kind of figured something out, no, that was independent for

455
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: the Miami game, you know, And I don't. I'm not

456
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: saying I'm doubting that Brandon's Daily can come up with

457
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: something equally as effective. I'm sure he can. It's just

458
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: the idea that it's going to be easy is crazy.

459
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: Because Derrick Henry's too good, Mike Rabel's too good. It's

460
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: a it's an okay offensive line. And that's why I

461
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: said you've got to get up by two scores. They're

462
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: much better at run blocking as they should be if

463
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: you're going to build that team. Of course you're going

464
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: to build it with let's get big, physical malers on

465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line and run the ball. They have not

466
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: been good in pass pro at all. Like I'll just

467
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: through let's see. Let me pull it up here. I

468
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: go through their line and you got Brewer twenty seven pressures,

469
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: three sacks, Ben Jones the center, you never get you

470
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: know much from there. But Nate Davis thirteen pressures, three sacks,

471
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: Petite Friar thirty four pressures five sacks ratings. He's been

472
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: solid six pressures and then Dennis Daley forty one pressures

473
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: eleven sacks. So that's what I'm saying. You've got to

474
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: get up, get up two scores, force them to pass

475
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: and get after. It is the way to do this,

476
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: and that's not going to be easy, all right, guys,

Speaker 1: to going back to Week five, money the Chargers rushing defense.

490
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: This was the Cleveland game. Two hundred and thirteen yards

491
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: allowed Denver. It was that nineteen sixteen game, ninety eight

492
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: yards allowed, and then here we go Seattle two thirteen,

493
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta two h one, San Francisco one fifty seven, KC

494
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: one sixty three, Arizona one eight one, Vegas one fifty four,

495
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: and then Miami they were nineteen for ninety two. So

496
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: because the way they won, I think we forget that. Hey,

497
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: the run defense is still an issue, and you have

498
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in football coming to

499
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: town on Sunday, so it's going to be paramount for

500
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: them to stop Derrick Henry. You know one thing I'd

501
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: like to see, I'd like to get your take on

502
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: this too many Well, one thing i'd like to see

503
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: starting Sunday, and as we kind of closed this year

504
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: going into the hopefully the playoffs with the Chargers, I

505
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: like to see Joshua Kelly getting more more carries. Four

506
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: for twenty nine. He had that twenty two yard rush.

507
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: He looks fresh, he looks like he's kind of getting backed.

508
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a lot of tread on him this year.

509
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: And I just feel like, especially in a game like this,

510
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: if you do get up and you do want to

511
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: control the clock a little bit like that could be

512
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the guy in the second half that can kind of

513
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: keep the clock in your favor. I think the one

514
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: reason why we didn't see it is just how effective

515
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: they were passing the ball, you know what I mean, Like,

516
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: to me, it was just it was working, and it's like,

517
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, you got you got ten, let's just keep

518
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands and let's keep attacking because

519
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: they got no answers, you know. So I think that

520
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: to me, like that was the one difference from this

521
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: when they averaged five and a half yards per play.

522
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: They had seventy eight plays to the Dolphins forty nine.

523
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: So it's like even though they only ran it, you know,

524
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: they didn't run it nearly as much. You know, they

525
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: had eighty two yards rushing three hundred and fifty passing.

526
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: When you include the sack numbers, you know they were

527
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: running it for three point six per rush. They rushed

528
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: twenty three times. That's a pretty good number. I know

529
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: it's not when you can put it in context of

530
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: fifty one passes, But to me, I think it was

531
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: more of an offense where, hey, they can't stop us,

532
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna see some of that. I

533
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a lot of that from the

534
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Titans as well, because I'll tell you like that was

535
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: the other thing that stuck out to me is when

536
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: I went through that schedule, and I'll just pull it

537
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: up real quick again, neither team ran the ball effectively.

538
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: If you look like Jacksonville ran the ball for sixty

539
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: yards two point four per rush. I want to say

540
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who are, obviously, you know, especially with Jalen Hurts,

541
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: one of the best rushing teams in the league. I

542
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: go to team stats. Here we go rushing eighty seven yards.

543
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry, sixty seven yards two point eight

544
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: per rush. That's why those are so good, because they

545
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: can they can switch their style week to week. You know,

546
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: they said this is gonna be a Devinte Smith ag

547
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: Brown game today. So that's what I mean. Like when

548
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: it comes to the Titans, you know, they're they're a

549
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: stout run d I mean, you got you know, you

550
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: look at the interior that defensive line with Simmons and

551
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Tart and Walker, and you got Autry on the edge,

552
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, and Bud Dupree flying off the edge as

553
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: a pass rusher like and again, it's changed a lot

554
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: without David longum. But I think that you can get them,

555
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: you can get them through the air. And I think

556
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen those last two games. They're blowouts,

557
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: and yet you look down and you see the team

558
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: couldn't run for but two and a half yards per carry.

559
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's possible. It's very similar to what

560
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: we saw against Miami. You know, I don't think I

561
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: don't think coach Staley wants Justin to be throwing the

562
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: ball fifty times every single game. But these are playoff

563
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: games essentially, and whatever, you know, whatever's working, I think

564
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: is what you're gonna see. And for all we know,

565
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: look that that could end up if they're lightboxes and

566
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: and they're just dropping you know, seven guys, eight guys

567
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: in Russian three or And that was the interesting thing

568
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: about Miami is man Christian Wilkins got home every single snap,

569
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: like why are you running five guys? Why are you

570
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: running six guys that the line of scrimmage instead of

571
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, committing that extra body on the back end

572
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: to try to slow that pass attack down. It was

573
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: very it was they had a very poor It was

574
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: a poorly coached game by the Dolphins all around. I

575
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: don't know why they they they blitzed as much as

576
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: they did, because you know, we've seen with those two tackles,

577
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Serell and Sawyer it's been a bit of a struggle.

578
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: And it just seemed like, you know, between Phillips and

579
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: and Wilkins, like they were just they were back there.

580
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: It felt like, you know, and I know that wasn't

581
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: the case. It just felt like they were back there

582
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: every single snap. Well, Mney, even Chargers fans will tell

583
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: you that that Jalen Phillips roughing the passer was well,

584
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: we said it in the moment where that's a terrible call.

585
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: It's all you'll take it. But it was a terrible call,

586
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: and like it happens, you know that, especially with that

587
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: particular call. I mean, I'm assuming there's probably through thirteen

588
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: games now, twenty to thirty of them out there. You're like,

589
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: what are we doing? And you know, so go ahead, no, no,

590
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna say, it's good to

591
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: see them beat a team like this, but you gotta

592
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: see it again, you gotta see it on Sunday, and

593
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: I just go back to the two games in early November.

594
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Money just how completely different the offense is Now this

595
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Chargers Falcons game where Joshua Palmer had to be the

596
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: number one guy and made some plays down the stretch,

597
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: and that forty nine Ers game where like DeAndre Carter

598
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: was catching balls in the first half and they had

599
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: a they had a lead against the Niners. Now, just

600
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: offense looks so much easier for the Chargers with Mike

601
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: and Keenan out there, Like it actually looks like the

602
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: team from twenty twenty one that that if you have

603
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: those guys on the field from start to finish, you're

604
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: capable of scoring thirty plus points a game. So I

605
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: think they yeah, and that's that's the encouraging thing. Now

606
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, it's it was all. It was the

607
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: same play caller, it was the same quarterback, it was

608
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: mostly the same weapons last year. We're justin through for

609
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: over five thousand yards. Okay, And and now they're starting

610
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: to get those guys back. You mentioned Corey Linsley. He

611
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: is just so big for this uh, for this Chargers offense. Um.

612
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: One thing that they have struggled with that the Titans

613
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: have struggled with as well, is this this crazy third

614
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: quarter thing where they can't score in the third quarter.

615
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: The Titans in the second half of games. They're averaging

616
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: five two points per second half this season, so they

617
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: can't score at all in the second half. So I

618
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: think it goes to the fast start getting on top

619
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: of these guys. And I'd like to see a third

620
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: quarter touchdown at some point. Money, I think Sunday would

621
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: be a good start. That's crazy, Tuck, Yeah, right, I

622
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: think it would be a good start. I'll tell you

623
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: like it's funny too, because you know, remember there was

624
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: also the issue with first quarters, and you know, for

625
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: a chunk of the year. So if you told me

626
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: I can only get one, give me the first quarter,

627
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, get get this team up ten nothing, get

628
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: this team up fourteen nothing, fourteen three, something like that.

629
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the key. But you know, if if,

630
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: if you want to pick nits, and we might as well,

631
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: because you know, they won the game. And look, these

632
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: are not going to be easy games down the stretch.

633
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: It's not because you're going on the road. You know,

634
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: the game in Denver's Bad at Denver's Bin, that's not

635
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna be an easy game. In Week eighteen, the Monday

636
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: Night football in Indianapolis, the day after Christmas that's gonna

637
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: be a packed house, it's gonna be a hostile atmosphere.

638
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: That's not going to be an easy game. Jonathan Taylor

639
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: running the football like that will not be an easy game.

640
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's worth kind of into I'm telling

641
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: you the Rams game exactly, ramsall just till the end.

642
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: McVeigh has no incentive to lose. They're not they're not

643
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: taking exactly you know, exactly, um so kind of what

644
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: what they need to do because the big problem, I mean,

645
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: two for six in the red zone, Like you cannot

646
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: have that against one of the worst red zone defenses

647
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: in the league. Same thing against the Raiders. You go

648
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: back that Raider game and they were terrible in the

649
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: red zone, Like, you have got to be better than that.

650
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's where some of the issues with

651
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: the play calling. Nobody liked the fourth down call, the

652
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: DeAndre carter I mean that that thing was absolutely ravaged

653
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: across the country. And it's just it's nothing against carter Um.

654
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: But I fully subscribe to players, not plays. I do

655
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: not give me Mike Williams, give me Keenan Allen, give

656
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: me Austin Ekeler. When when it's nutcut in time, and

657
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: you gotta have it. I better see the ball in

658
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: one of their hands. That's just that's all there is

659
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: to it, you know. And you saw it on that drive,

660
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: that eight minute drive was what it was all Keenan,

661
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was Eckler like it that that's like

662
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: somehow that just I get it. You've been sitting on

663
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: this play all year. We're gonna catch him that. No,

664
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: plays don't win. More often than not, players win. Plays

665
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: don't win. You know. I loved I loved the mesh.

666
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: The fact that they had Austin run a freaking mesh,

667
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: not even a wildcat snap direct run, but the fact

668
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: that he freaking ran a mesh with Josh Kelly, read

669
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: the end and freaking when it ran with Kelly decided

670
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: to keep it and tuck it inside for for eight yards.

671
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: It was awesome. That's great. But when it's fourth and goal,

672
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Keenan, Allen, Gerald, Everett, Austin, that's what I want,

673
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, And really it's one Mike Williams, Keenan, Allen

674
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: or Austin Ekeler. That's that's what you gotta have. That

675
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: drive in the fourth quarter that they held the ball

676
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: for as long as they did and got that field

677
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: goal to go up to pause sessions. Didn't that drive

678
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: remind you of Week one in Washington a little bit? Yeah?

679
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: Years ago. Yeah, they held onto the ball and they

680
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: won the game at the end, like you don't even

681
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: give your opponent an opportunity or enough time to get Now,

682
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: I will say this that on the side, kick out

683
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: a little Harry and thank god for Nick Neeman special

684
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: team space man. Yeah, come on, Josh, you're a wide receiver,

685
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: freaking ball Ricochet's office knee. They can't make it easy, Chris.

686
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: We can't have nice things, you know. They just saw that.

687
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what about the botched snap

688
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: on first in goal and the failure. You're already in

689
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: field goal range. All you have to do is take

690
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: three knees kick it, you know, Rynd the clock all

691
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: the way down and now we got a freaking botched

692
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: exchange and you gotta fall on it. You're thinking about

693
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: turning the ball over instead of kicking a field goal

694
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: to go up nine. They could. They don't make it easy.

695
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: M Yeah, that's that's when you got to figure out, like, hey, dude,

696
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be out there. I don't know if

697
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: you're going back out there. We may send somebody else

698
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: out there, you know, may send Bandy out there moving

699
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: forward or something as opposed to getting you out there

700
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: after watching a ball slip through your hands and ricochet

701
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: off your knee. That he again, they don't they don't

702
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: make it easy. That's never so, so what are we

703
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: thinking for for Sunday? I think we kind of laid

704
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: it out quick start. You gotta stop Derrick Henry, and

705
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: I think you got to take advantage of this Titan

706
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: secondary with with I think this is another Mike Williams

707
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: game money. I think this is where you take advantage.

708
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: You know what a j Brown was able to do.

709
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram was the was the guy for the Jags

710
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: to get one hundred and sixty plus receiving yards. So

711
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: and that's Gerald Everett, you know, middle of the field, attack,

712
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: middle of the field. With David Long out um their

713
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: secondary again decimated. You know. The It's funny just how

714
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: different I feel now about the offense. And it sounds

715
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: like we're gonna have Tray back, So that's gonna be

716
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: another boost for this offensive. That's another thing. Man like

717
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: he and he makes a decisive difference on the right.

718
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Huge difference, I mean gigantic difference. Um, because now you

719
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: know you feel good about one full side of the

720
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: offensive line. It's like, okay, well now we can run away,

721
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: you know if Jamari is a little leaky. Now the

722
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: one issue for this game is going to be the

723
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: same as last game. And that's why I'm not as concerned.

724
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: But look, Jeffrey Simmons, like Christian Wilkins, like Chris Jones, Um,

725
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: these guys are really good interior pass rushing, defensive lineman's

726
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. So the thing that gives me hope is

727
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: just watching how deftly Justin navigated all the pressure. It

728
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: did not matter where it was coming from, and he

729
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: was able to escape over and over. And that's like,

730
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: that's where just all the you know, pardon that the language,

731
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: just the dumb ass conversations that people were having about

732
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: two of versus Herbert. Yeah, and it's like people talking about,

733
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you redrafted twenty and I know it's

734
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: for clicks, and it's because nobody watches your stupid show speak.

735
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: So you've got to figure out a way to get

736
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: some traction and have him tune in fine, but like

737
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: to say that if you redrafted twenty twenty, it go.

738
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: Burrow hurts to Herbert. It's just stupid. It's because all

739
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: you need is a pair of eyes. And I didn't

740
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: freaking play I didn't play defense in the NFL and

741
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: have thirty career tackles, you know, and I can see it.

742
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: So if I can see it, then you know it's

743
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: nothing more than manufactured clickbait. The way that he is

744
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: able to move and throw on the move that there

745
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: are and look, I want to make sure that I

746
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: delineate these two. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in

747
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: the league at making something out of nothing or extending

748
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: plays and doing something incredible to just rip your heart out.

749
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: There's no one better. The difference between what Patrick Mahomes

750
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: does and what Justin Herbert does. Herbert will put the

751
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: ball exactly where it has to be, no matter the

752
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: level of duress. It's that that's what gets people to

753
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: freak out and post clips on social media because no

754
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: one else can do it. And that's why you see

755
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: all those clips of Justin Herbert cause it's like this

756
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. The guy is on a full sprint

757
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: to his right, sets his feet within a third of

758
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: a second, and that ball is uncorked for sixty yards

759
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: in the air on a dot, I mean, on the

760
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: freaking money. And that's the difference. Like that's and like

761
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I mentioned that that third down throw on that first

762
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: third down to that eight minute drive that ended the game.

763
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: Essentially man was at a throw and he's under pressure.

764
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: And if it's climbing two yards this way and then

765
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: cutting two yards to his left and throwing back to

766
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: his right, his throws to five physics. Like so that's

767
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: that's where you know, I think now seeing Justin Herbert

768
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: being recognizable to the Justin Herbert were used to these

769
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: last few weeks, it's like, Okay, now I feel a lot.

770
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about how things are going

771
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: because he's got his weapons, he's got his health, he's

772
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: got Corey Linsley back, and this is what it's supposed

773
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: to look like and this is what I'm used to seeing,

774
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's a and you're going to see a lot

775
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: more social media of Justin Herbert of throws like that

776
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: when he made to Keenan, like the whin he hit

777
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: mic on that traveled like sixty yards in the year

778
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: and it's all happening at the right time with four

779
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: games in front of them, and I don't think that's

780
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: a coincidence, Chris, like that's a thing Like to me,

781
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: I think it's okay, Look, let's just treadwater, treadwater, treadwater,

782
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: and you know they're in like each of those games,

783
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: there was you know, one big drive the Arizona game,

784
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: huge drive punt return. Here comes Herbert. You know, bang

785
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: bang bang had to have it, and you get those

786
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: half to have it plays. So I do think there's

787
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: something too. That's where the injury thing comes in. I think,

788
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, is it's like, Okay, we've done it. We've

789
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: been able to overcome all of this and tread water

790
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: long enough to punch a ticket to the tournament. Now

791
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: we just got to go do it. And I think

792
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: you're seeing much more aggression, willingness to take hits, extending plays,

793
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: knowing you're going to take a shot because it's there,

794
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: it's there for the taking, and he's gonna go get it. Yeah,

795
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows of a season. You know, you know,

796
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: if the Charges end up making the playoffs, you're gonna

797
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: look back at that Atlanta game and be like, wow,

798
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: they did that with guys that normally aren't starters, or

799
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: the Arizona game executing that two point conversion to beat

800
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Like it's gonna be games like that that

801
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: will eventually hopefully get this team in the playoffs. I

802
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: want to close this by kind of getting your thoughts on.

803
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I think it's fun now. Obviously the Charges all they

804
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta do is take care of their own business and

805
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: the postseason, but it is fun to see all the

806
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: key matchups around the AFC and playoff positioning because if

807
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: the Chargers get in, they likely won't be the fifth

808
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: seed player in Tennessee or Jacksonville. They'll be the sixth

809
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: of the seventh seed because I think Cincinnati and baltiwar

810
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: they have a pretty comfortable I don't know about Baltimore,

811
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: Like Baltimore should not have won these last two games,

812
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: Like that's the That's the one thing is you know

813
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing let's third string quarterback this week. Um,

814
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: you know Huntley is not gonna play this week, and

815
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the health of Lamar is, so

816
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: you know that's like it's what's so frush, Like you

817
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: know you you had mentioned the h you had mentioned

818
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: like how everything had broken. The first thing that popped

819
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: in my head was like, except Baltimore, because the Broncos

820
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: should have beat them. I mean, freaking ten to nine,

821
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: ten to nine because of a backup quarterback. You can't

822
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: win that game, Denver. And then the Steelers freaking Mitch

823
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: Trubisky with three picks in the red zone, although Kenny

824
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: Kenny would have won the game. Yeah, but I'll say this,

825
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: I think I'm happy the Steelers are out. I just

826
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: I had and I was like, I could totally see

827
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: them when they were they were trending. Yeah, so I

828
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: was almost kind of hat but I think, you know,

829
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: they get the Steelers again, they get the Bengals again.

830
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: You know, right now they're sick nine and four, so

831
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: they'd have to lose, you know, if they lose. Let's

832
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: start with games same Let's start with the Browns game

833
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: Saturday night. They play the Browns, and Browns are favored.

834
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has looked not good, but terrible. But uh,

835
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: it's it's in Cleveland, and like you said, you're really

836
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: shorthanded at the most important position on the field. So

837
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: you're you know, now that I think of it money,

838
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: Like if you go to me, that's the one. Like

839
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: I look at them at the Ravens and I say, okay,

840
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: at Brown's third string quarterback, Falcon's fine, I'll give you

841
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: the win. You know, a Desmond Ritter and a team

842
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: that's been terrible knows defense, who knows but Desmond Ritter,

843
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: he may be good. Yeah. I mean the one thing

844
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: that Baltimore has going for it is they're now healthy

845
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: on in the running back room. And you saw how

846
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: much different that looked against the Steelers, you know when

847
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: when they were healthy. I mean JK. Dobbins one hundred

848
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: and twenty and uh in a tug. I'm just looking

849
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: at the numbers over the rushing yards there. Yeah, they

850
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: rush for two fifteen. So like that's the one thing

851
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: is that that you know they can overcome, is they

852
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: can just get those get that running game going, lean

853
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: on you and get to win. But I mean the

854
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: Steelers were the better team. Mitch Drubisky was just Mitch

855
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: Drubisky and through three picks in the red zone and

856
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: a game that they lost by and I think they

857
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: had a missfield goal too in a game that they

858
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: lost by two. So that's the one at Look, if

859
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: you can somehow win out and get to the five.

860
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, though, Nashville or are you going to Jacksonville?

861
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. So Like the one thing though,

862
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: is there's like Bengals don't scare me, Ravens don't scare me,

863
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Titans don't scare me. Chiefs. We know they can trade

864
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: punches without a question. They should have won the first game.

865
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: They were up by four with one hundred seconds left

866
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: in the second game. They are quick matchup I'd like

867
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: to see. And I'm just saying, like they've beat you

868
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: twice this year, You've been close with them. You know

869
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: how to play there. We know Mike Williams how he

870
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: likes to play there. Like I wouldn't mind being the

871
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: seventh seed and at least given another shot, you know,

872
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: as long as the actions are right. That's my only

873
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: issue with that one is I want Bosa back. I

874
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: want Slater back. Yow that we're talking about Slater looks

875
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: like he might be ready for the regular season. Like,

876
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: if that's the case, and you tell me they're all

877
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: ready for Week one of the postseason, if they're able

878
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: to punch their ticket then totally fine. Yeah, let's go.

879
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: Let's freaking And the other thing about like the other

880
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: thing about getting the five is, like I said, I

881
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: think that's a It's not universal, but I think it's

882
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: a very popular position. I wouldn't be surprised to see

883
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: wild card teams win. So now, if all of a sudden,

884
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: you're the number one wild card team, you know, you

885
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: don't have to go to Buffalo. If you win that

886
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: first round, you know, you very well could end up

887
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: hosting because I'm going to the standings now, like if

888
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: you were, if you were to tell me right now,

889
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: let's say the Chargers get in, you know, and let's

890
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: say the Bengals or the let's say the Ravens or

891
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals somehow, let's say the Ravens slide out like

892
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: we thought. You know, now you got the Ravens playing

893
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: the Bengals, you know, in the first in the first round,

894
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: two teams that know each other really well. Lamar Jackson's healthy, Like,

895
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: you could totally see that upset. If Miami, you know,

896
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: somehow is able to freaking get on a roll and

897
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: and take twa and I mean those guys could win,

898
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like that's like that. That's

899
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: why I think this could really break well if if

900
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: they can win out, if they can if they they

901
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: win out, win these last five games after knocking off Miami,

902
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: I do think they have a shot at eleven and

903
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: six at the five seat. I think that is a

904
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: very real possibility. So let's go to Let's go to Miami.

905
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: Because between Miami, New England and the Jets, they're gonna

906
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: beat each other up. Is not going to make the

907
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: playoffs in the in the doll two of them are

908
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: probably not going to make the playoffs. It's it's that's

909
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: very possible. It's possible. You look, you look at them.

910
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: They lose to the nine Ers thirty three seventeen, they

911
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: lose the Chargers, they have the Bills on Saturday night.

912
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be freezing. Bills are a touchdown favorite. Then

913
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: you have the Packers and Aaron Rodgers at home. I mean,

914
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: that's not a gift. Should win that game, they should

915
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: win it. But then you gotta go to Foxborough and

916
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be warm, and it can be warm there,

917
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: and then you close with the Jets, and that could

918
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: who knows if that's for the seventh seed. I think

919
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna end up being a winning in you know,

920
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: if the Chargers business game, I think that'll like to me.

921
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: That's why if the Chargers have found something here offensively,

922
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: win out, get to eleven and six, you know, don't

923
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: be that seven seed and have to go to Kansas

924
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: City week one or Buffalo and then go to Kansas

925
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: City or Buffalo week two. Like that's the one thing

926
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them avoid is can you avoid

927
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: having to play those two teams and back to back weeks?

928
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: You know, if it's the Bills you end up playing,

929
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: that's a very physical defense that beats the crap audio

930
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: and now you got to respond and go try to

931
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: take on Patrick Mahomes and trade blows with him, you know,

932
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: and not to mention you know what Josh Allen and

933
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: those guys can do to a defense. Um, you know.

934
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: So that's that's the one thing. Like, if they can

935
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: at least get up to the six and avoid having to,

936
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, take on those two teams and back to

937
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: back weeks, I think is ideal. But they gotta win. Look,

938
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: they still gotta win. This team has been very inconsistent.

939
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: You think about those games, against the Seahawks and the Jags,

940
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, how does that happen? Like, how does

941
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: this team get blown out by those two teams? You know,

942
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks who just lost at home to the Panthers.

943
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: You know the Jags who were lost for five weeks straight,

944
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, and yet both of those teams just laid

945
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: the lumber to the Chargers. So I think there's still

946
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: reason to exercise caution. Don't don't start, you know, looking

947
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: at Southwest dot or Delta dot com, who are part

948
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: of American Airlines dot com, whatever however it works. I

949
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: think it's AA dot com. Have a private dinner with

950
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: Drwin Ye, don't start looking yet. Let's you know, if

951
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: they if they're able to do to Tennessee what they

952
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: did on Sunday, and I'm gonna start feeling pretty good

953
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: about this. But you know what it also like when

954
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned like the blowout losses to Seattle in Jacksonville,

955
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: it's just a reminder of though a seventeen game season

956
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: is so freaking long. Man. Like the Rams when they

957
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: traded for Odell and Vaughan, they lost like three in

958
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: a row, and everyone's like, oh my god, that's the

959
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: worst trade ever, What did you do? You mortgage your future?

960
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: They got on a run and they won the Super Bowl.

961
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: The Bengals nobody, I don't even know if people were

962
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: really talking about them before December, you know, like, no,

963
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: did you know at the right time? Honestly, the Chargers.

964
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: The Chargers were up twenty four nothing on the Bengals

965
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: right last year, twenty I think or something like that. Yeah,

966
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's about getting right hot at

967
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: the right time. I want to go through this schedule,

968
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: the Pats and the Jets, just to do it, Pats

969
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: Raiders and then so that's in Vegas and then let's

970
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: go Raiders. The Patriots have to play the Bengals and

971
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins at home and both are not going to be easy.

972
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: And then the Bills to close it out, and I

973
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: think the Bills are going to have to win that

974
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: to get the one seed. Yeah, so now that that's

975
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: that's that's why I said two of these teams may

976
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: not make it, you know, And I think, and look,

977
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: that's what's going to have to happen for the Chargers

978
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: to get in, right as two of them are gonna

979
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, one can get in. But again, who's it

980
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, is it the Dolphins that

981
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: have to go to cold weather climates and historically never

982
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: play well. Teams from Miami do not play well in January.

983
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: It's always been an issue with them in this particular

984
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: division where you have the Patriots, Bills, and Jets all

985
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: playing in cold weather cities and the Dolphins end up

986
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: having to go there. That the schedule makers always hose

987
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: them by giving them two of the three at the

988
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: end of the year because they just like doing it

989
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: um and so they've got to overcome that, you know,

990
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: and and not slip to you know, not slip to

991
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: seven losses or even maybe eight losses if things go

992
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: really bad, you know, and all of a sudden, you know,

993
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: they lose to Buffalo, they've dropped three in a row.

994
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: And then you're staring at the Patriots and Jets to

995
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: close the season. We know how good that Jets defense is,

996
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: and what Robert sala is able to do. You don't

997
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be able to dial up something to

998
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, to force Mike McDaniel to shift and tow

999
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: it a deal, you know, like Brandon Staley did, to

1000
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: do something that they're not comfortable doing so. Yeah, um,

1001
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: like that's why I wanted to. I set the tone

1002
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: at the start of the pod, like the good thing is,

1003
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: and you can go through the Jets schedule if you want.

1004
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you started. I mean they got

1005
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: they got one of the hottest teams of football Sunday.

1006
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the Lions are playing really well. They have

1007
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: an explosive offense. I'm actually gonna be a fun matchup

1008
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: to see that that Lion's offense against this Jets defense

1009
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: beat up Mike White. And then then you got the Jags,

1010
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: who may be playing for something on Thursday Night Football

1011
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: a week from today. Uh. Then Jets Seahawks, Seahawks are

1012
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: still in the mix for a playoff spot. And then

1013
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: like you said, the Dolphins, which could be the flex

1014
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: game that could be a win and in game yeah

1015
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: they yeah, they have they have a pretty favorable run.

1016
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Lions are great offensively, defensively, they started

1017
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: to come on. Aidan Hutchinson has definitely raised his hand

1018
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: as you know, Oh yeah, this is why that guy

1019
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: was in the conversation as the number one pick and

1020
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: he maybe should have been the number one pick as

1021
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: good as Trayvon Walker has been with those splash plays.

1022
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: Hutchinson's been exceptional and he's really come on. But that'll

1023
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: be it'll be interesting if the Lions offense isn't able

1024
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: to just you know, throw the ball all over the

1025
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: yard like they have been. Because this Jets defense has

1026
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: been so good. You know, we'll see whether or not

1027
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: they can win a tight game, a grinded out game

1028
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: the Jags. Again, I don't think they. I think the

1029
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: Jets defense is probably going to be able to slow

1030
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: that thing down and take advantage of it. Seahawks back

1031
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: down to Earth a little bit, yeah, definitely. I mean,

1032
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 1: what's Gino got? I think seven turnovers in his last

1033
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: four games after like five total in his first nine,

1034
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: So that's been a bit of an issue. And then,

1035
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: like I said, I think that Dolphins game could come

1036
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: down to that, you know, because they got to go

1037
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: three and one to punch their ticket in everybody does

1038
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's gonna have to go at least three

1039
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: and one. So there you go. We just want to

1040
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: give you a little red zone viewing this weekend before

1041
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers play the Titans one twenty five Pacific on Sunday.

1042
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: So I think that's it. Money, that's it. You gotta

1043
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: take care of business on Sunday gets the Titans get

1044
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 1: to eight and six, and then you got three winnable

1045
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: games that you have to show up four and take

1046
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: care of business man. Yeah, and uh you know when
