00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: I was.

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 2: I'm in Charleston, South Carolina right now and I'm waiting

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: for my flight and there's somebody at my terminal that says,

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: what's up. He's a big Charges Weekly fan. He listens

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: to your Instagram postgame live. His name is I had

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: to get his name, Paul Menace. He lives in Charleston,

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: South Carolina. He was a Navy nuke via Temecula and

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: big Charges Weekly fan. So I told Paul we would

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: shout him out at the beginning of the show today.

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Awesome. Appreciate you, Paul, appreciate your service, especially on this

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: our nation's two hundred and forty ninth birthday. And certainly

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you listening to the show. That means a lot.

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: We love doing it. We love interacting with all of yous,

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: and that goes for if you ever see us walking

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: around when we're at the games, not that I expect

41
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: to anybody into anybody that knows who I am around

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: town or Charleston for that matter, but at the games,

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: especially Chris, we love chatting with the folks. And I

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: have a special place in my heart for Charleston, South

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Carolina because it was my salvation. When we were in

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: Charlotte for the week, I very quietly rented a car

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: and snuck out after the Panther game on Sunday night

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: and spent three days down there at Folly Beach in Charleston,

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: and was just texting with the bosses over there.

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: Like, Hey, what are you doing tonight.

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: I was like, probably just gonna stay in, you know,

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: just kind of just mellowed out. I got the radio

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: show and you know, the busy work work, you know,

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: just work calls as it was, to get some waves

55
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: in with my friend Kyle from down there, who's sponsored

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: by free Fly, and we certainly I certainly appreciate that.

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: So Paul, thank you for mentioning that, and Chris for

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: going to Charleston to conjure up those great memories I

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: had of our trip last year.

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: Dude, I love Charleston so much.

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: My parents have been down here since I think eight

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: so my brothers were down here, so I figured I'd

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: spent a few days do some grilling, chilling out with

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: the fan before we get rolling. But we still have

65
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: a ton of questions that we wanted to get answered.

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: So if you're grilling, if you're at the beach this weekend,

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: pop on charges Weekly and we'll answer some of these

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: questions before we do so. Though a couple of things

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: I guess relevant to last week's mail bag.

70
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey's not coming to the Chargers. He's not going

71
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: to the Rams either.

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: He's a Pittsburgh Steeler traded for Mika Fitzpatrick. The Steelers

73
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: also get John Smith in the deal. Kind a kind

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: of a surprising almost one for one. Yet you add

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: Smith to the mix. But I didn't think that Mega

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick was on the trade block at all.

77
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: So how about that. That's a big move.

78
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish an interesting I'm going to the depth

79
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: chart because I just want to make sure I get

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: the name's right. It kind of goes to what we

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: were talking about right when it comes to the because

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: they just signed Darius Slay. They also have Joey Porter Junior.

83
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: You know, it was essentially a first round pick, very

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: top of the second round. So those are their outside corners.

85
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: So where are they gonna play Jalen. He's gonna be

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: the big nickel he's gonna be Durwin. So that's why

87
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: for all the Charger fans that were like, Hey, you

88
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: got all this money in this cap space is still there,

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: go get Jalen Ramsey and it's I think what the

90
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Steelers are doing is kind of what's going to benefit him.

91
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: And they just signed one Thornhill as a free agent,

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: so now he'll be your high safety, which is where

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Minca was playing, and Deshaun Elliott's your box safety. So

94
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: they just kind of were like, Okay, if instead of

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: playing Minca at free can we put Thornhill there? Feel

96
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: good about it? And now we get that big nickel

97
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: in Jalen, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking

98
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: at it as we want this guy to be Derwin.

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: We want him to do. You know, they're built very similarly,

100
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: they're super athletic, and I think that was kind of

101
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: the idea. Now, look, Minca is a hell of a safety.

102
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: I mean, he is an incredible safety. So is it

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: a net neutral, is it a net positive? Is it

104
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: a net negative? I don't know, but it's probably pretty

105
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: close because of how good Minca is. It's wild to

106
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: me that they gave and I assume that's money, you know,

107
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: because Mink is making sixteen seventeen mil. Jalen's making twenty

108
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: six mil. I think they gave him an extra one

109
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: point five on top of what he was already making.

110
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: So I think they had to make the money work

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and that's probably why they did it. But two teams

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: were gonna face. So you're gonna see the Dolphins with Minka,

113
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: who's a heck of a player, and you're gonna see

114
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers now with that back end of Slagh Porter,

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Elliott Thornhill and now Jalen Ramsey not to mention

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: what they have up front, and Keanu Benton who never

117
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: gets mentioned enough. TJ. Watt Patrick queen like oh Hi Smith.

118
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: That is a hell of a defense they have over there.

119
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: It is. And the TJ.

120
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Watt thing is something to monitor at this point because

121
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: he does.

122
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: Not have a new deal yet.

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: I would assume that the Pittsburgh Steelers do not want TJ.

124
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: Watt to leave the city of Pittsburgh, so you would

125
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: you would think that would get done. But the Mega

126
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick thing is interesting. Remember he was he was drafted

127
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: before Derwin in twenty eighteen and then when you had

128
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: John news Smith. We've heard for the last couple of

129
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: weeks how much Arthur Smith wants John new Smith back

130
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: in his offense. He was I think he was with

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: m in Tennessee in Atlanta, if I'm not mistaken. So

132
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: then you get Aaron Rodgers another weapon, I guess in

133
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: the passing game.

134
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: So fast thinking about those.

135
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Three tight end sets, Chris, you know, we think we

136
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: talked to Chargers and yeah, with Friarmouth and with Washington

137
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: cut out of Georgia. Yeah, Washington, who's basically an offensive

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: line's three hundred pounds, so they're going to be running

139
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of that three tight end you know, similar

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: to what the Chargers are going to be running. And man,

141
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be ah is the old folks like

142
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: to say a slobber knocker. Those two teams tangle whatever

143
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: week that is Week ten week because week gate is

144
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the Vikings. We heard about the Rodney Harrison news, so

145
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: I remember that the Gates. I think it's I think

146
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: it's right around there.

147
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: It's a run there.

148
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: And then week six in Miami against Mika Fitzpatrick and company,

149
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: that was that was.

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: The other news.

151
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: Rodney Harrison going to the Chargers Hall of Fame that

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: that cool phone call between Harball and Harrison. That's going

153
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: to be the Thursday night game against Minnesota Vikings. So

154
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: obviously Rodney has his Sunday obligations. He'll be able to

155
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: be here for that Thursday night game. It should be

156
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: a special night.

157
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: No doubt, you know. And you think about that defense,

158
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: and he's one of the all time greats. You know,

159
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: it's a bummer that he had to leave. It's good

160
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: for him that he got to go out and get

161
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots. But you know,

162
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: just like Junior sayout, you have two of the iconic

163
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Charger defensive players from that particular era and really of

164
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: all time, and they both end up going to the

165
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Patriots to finish out their careers. But excited to have

166
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Rodney back that week. He's certainly a fan favorite. You know,

167
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: from an era when if you had someone that could

168
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: could bring the heat and could pack a punch, it

169
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: went a long way. And I don't know when Rodney

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Harrison was playing, if there was a more physical defensive

171
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: back in the league and someone you better have your

172
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: freaking head on a swivel if you're out there and

173
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: knowing that Harrison, number thirty seven was out there lurking

174
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: because he would knock your ass clean out.

175
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: You know, Bill Belichick has his favorite defensive players of

176
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: all time, and Lawrence Taylor I think is number one,

177
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: but Rodney Harrison maybe number two. He talks about Rodney

178
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Harrison with such reverence and it just it harkens back

179
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: all those memories of that defense led by Rodney here

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: when he was wearing those navies for the San Diego Chargers.

181
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: So it'd be fun to honor him on Thursday Night football.

182
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: And without further ado, Money, let's get some more of

183
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: these questions. This is from Henry Smith a third on Instagram.

184
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 2: He wanted to know how he could submit a question

185
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: and I said, do it right here, man. He said,

186
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: if Money had to pick one bold statement below. Both

187
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: are a bit of a stretch, one good, one bad.

188
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: Which one would you pick? For twenty twenty five? The

189
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: first scenario Roman's offense with full offseason training camp for

190
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: Herbert new running backs and Mackai Beckton, a top seven

191
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: offense in the league. I don't think he'll see patched,

192
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: but I think that could happen. And then number two

193
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: offseason loses. Rather, offseason losses have bigger effect on defense.

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: Second year quarterbacks regrets to the an overall D drops

195
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: to eighteenth in the league, which is more likely.

196
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so you're asking me, which do what do

197
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I think is more likely? I think, unfortunately, the defense

198
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: is more likely, just because it you know, I just

199
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: pulled up the schedule to to look at where Pittsburgh

200
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: was and it is week ten, So way to go me.

201
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: But you look at this this schedule and it's not

202
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: the you know, I see Kansas City, So there you go.

203
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: You got two with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Vegas

204
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: is no longer you know, Antonio Pierce and Aidan O'Connell.

205
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: It's Pete Carroll and Gino Smith. It's Bo Nixon year two.

206
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: You know, New York could be Jackson Dart, they're really

207
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: excited about him. Washington's Jade and Daniels. We know Mike

208
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: McDaniel can coach offense. You got Tua in all that speed,

209
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, as Indianapolis with Shane Steike and going to

210
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: be more of a steady hand, and they've got a

211
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: hell of a receiving court. Not to mention they just

212
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: added Tyler Warren. You got Jonathan Taylor in that backfield.

213
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: You see what I'm getting that, Like Kevin O'Connell can

214
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: coach offense. You got Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, not justin fields.

215
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: You've got Liam Cohen who put it on the Chargers

216
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: last year with Tampa and Jacksonville taking over the reins

217
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence and now Travis Hunter. And we know

218
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: what Brian Thomas Junior did last year Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts,

219
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, c J. Strutt. Like those are the quarterbacks

220
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: you're facing last year. I go back to last year.

221
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Let's go back to last year's schedule. Chris for this

222
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: defense and again Vegas, O'Connell, Carolina, Bryce, Pittsburgh fields. We

223
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: know about Arizona. You know they held Kyler Murray, now

224
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: who was you know, to fifteen points. But that offense

225
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: wasn't really humming. You had New Orleans with Spencer Rattler Cleveland,

226
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: I don't remember who the quarterback was, and it was

227
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: James it was, yeah, exactly through the whatever three pay

228
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: Jamis Tennessee Will Levis, you know you know what I mean?

229
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: Like that, like last year Atlanta with Kirk Cousins who

230
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: had a horrible game, so like Drake May and no

231
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: offense line. Like, it's a different season of quarterbacks, so

232
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: it's a different it's point off sketch, So that that

233
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: would That's why I would say that that's more likely.

234
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: You know what, maybe maybe both could happen, right. I

235
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: think maybe the offense is a is a group that

236
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: can carry the day some weeks when you have to

237
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: play some explosive offenses on the other side, and Hampton

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: and Harris get rolling and Justin rounds into form and

239
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: some of these new additions on the outside pop and

240
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: you're scoring thirty one points a game for a stretch

241
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: of the season.

242
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: So I don't think the thing is like, sorry, Chris

243
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: hadit me to jump in there. I don't think the

244
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: if I remember right, because I was just looking at

245
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: it over the course of the week. I don't think

246
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the offense was that bad last year, even though they

247
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: had all here we go twenty twenty four NFL offense EPA. Yeah,

248
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: they were twentieth. Like I think people fit look at

249
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: the offense last year and they're like, they were like

250
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. No, they were twentieth, And I think for

251
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: a good chunk of the year. You know, if you

252
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: think about the second half of the year when LAD

253
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: really Lad didn't really come on till like week six.

254
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: So I think if you were to pull that, if

255
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: they were twentieth after what was a pretty rough stretch

256
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: there before LAD really got going, I would imagine like

257
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: if you took the last ten weeks, they were probably

258
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: top fifteen. So to your point, it's not I mean,

259
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: seven would be something like if you look at last year,

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: here's your top seven offenses. Ravens won, Lions, two bucks,

261
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: three forty nine ers, four packers five. I think that's right.

262
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: Hold on, just this is Oh you know what I

263
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: got it? I got this allis That's it said current

264
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: EPA that way. I thought I was looking at EPA,

265
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: but I wasn't. So my my apologies, man, I screwed.

266
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: You'd have to you'd have to surpass the Bills, the Bengals,

267
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: the Ravens.

268
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that was that was a bad Uh. That

269
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: was a bad Lion. I'm terribly sorry. I screwed that thing. Up.

270
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: Here we go, Yeah, see even better. Last year twenty

271
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: twenty four, EPA per play chargers were thirteenth thirteenth. Wow,

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: expecting points added like they weren't, so to jump to seventh.

273
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: It was Baltimore, Buffalo, Detroit, Washington, Tampa, Philly, Bengals. There's

274
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: your top seven. You know it was pretty good offense,

275
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: but Liam Cohen's.

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: Gone top top ten would be a win, Henry.

277
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sorry, it was a longer answer than

278
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: it needed to be, but thank you, Henry.

279
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: It goes into this next question, which I think is

280
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: a really good one from Nicholas PATRILLI.

281
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: Would you be more.

282
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: Impressed with Chargers beating the Chiefs once or twice but

283
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: only having ten wins or losing to the Chiefs both

284
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: times but having twelve wins? Which one of those outcomes

285
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: would give you more confidence in the Chargers doing real

286
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: damage in the playoffs. If you beat the Chiefs twice,

287
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: I'd take that, and you still bake the playoffs, I'd

288
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: take that over twelve wins. That gives you confidence, that

289
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: gives you a chance to actually win the AFC West.

290
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: I don't you have to slay that beast? Money? You

291
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: have to slay that beast in Kansas City?

292
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're you hit it on the head there.

293
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Chris because if you sweep the Chiefs and you've got

294
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: ten wins, I'm guessing you're not gonna get swept by

295
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Broncos, and you're probably gonna win

296
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the division, and the division's just gonna teams are gonna

297
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: knock the hell out of each other, because I can

298
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: tell you right now the Chiefs probably aren't getting swept

299
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: by both the Raiders and the Broncos. So that's how

300
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: that whole thing's going to shake out. And next thing,

301
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, ten wins because of the rules that I

302
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: disagree with personally, that division winners get home games no

303
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: matter what, as opposed to a wildcard team with a

304
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: better record. If you're winning the SCUS, you're gonna get

305
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: a home game, So let's get the home game as

306
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: opposed to being a twelve win wildcard team like they

307
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: have been in the past. Twenty eighteen comes to mind,

308
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: as a twelve win wild card team had to go

309
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, you know, to play a wild card game.

310
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's take the sweep of the Chiefs.

311
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: This is from Isaac.

312
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: How many guys on the team have a serious All

313
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: Pro potential this season?

314
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: Serious?

315
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: Well?

316
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: All Slater Herbert on all offense. Darwin's already the All

317
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: Pro Khalil Mack has been an All Pro. Yeah, uh,

318
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: Darwin things dayon Henley can be an All Pro. I

319
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: we'll see, We'll see if that, if he can make

320
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: that leap from Pro Bowl snub to All Pro in

321
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: year three, anybody.

322
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: Else I'm gonna go to the twenty twenty four All

323
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Pro team. So Herbert would have to beat out Josh

324
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: Allen and Lamar Jackson. They were the All Pros last year.

325
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: Lad McConkie, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson linebacker. Let's see Roquan Smith,

326
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: where's my list of here we go first team defense?

327
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: If he were to make it, So, Zach Bond, Fred Warner,

328
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith are your linebackers on the first team? Frankie Luvu,

329
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, Zaire Franklin second team. Yeah, I think he

330
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: could beat out Yeah, I think I think I think

331
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: he was better than one of these. And the problem

332
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: with linebacker is too often they weigh that on, you know,

333
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: sort of edges and pass rushing, not off ball linebackers.

334
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: So well, now, because you got Roqwan, Fred, Zach, yeah,

335
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: first team is gonna be tough. Second team. I think

336
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: he could make it. You mentioned, Look, I think Justin

337
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: Herbert's in that mix. If he's cooking, I have faith,

338
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: you know. Is it gonna be hard to knock off?

339
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: You know, Lamar, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. That's

340
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: a tough not to crack, no doubt, But I think

341
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: there's potential there. Derwin, as you said, is a no brainer.

342
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: The tackles are no brainers that they have the opportunity

343
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, it's Tristan Wurf's Quinn minors

344
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: last year were your first team tackles. Your second team

345
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: tackles were Jordan Mylotta and and Lane Johnson. So it's tough,

346
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: but they can do it. Yeah, I think that sounds.

347
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: The problem with Herbert making the money is just that

348
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: the way the Chargers play, if it's going to be

349
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: a run dominant scheme and you're just not going to

350
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: put up the numbers that a Lamar or Josh Allen

351
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: put on on the ground. Back Now, Justin has the

352
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: capability of running the football and you know, throwing three

353
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: four touchdowns a game.

354
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of how.

355
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: They're going to play if they have a big league

356
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: going in the second half. We kind of know the

357
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: formula that Greg Roman wants to execute.

358
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that could be interesting is whoever the

359
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: fullback's going to be? You know, if this becomes one

360
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: of the top five run You know, because your fullbacks

361
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: were Patrick Riccarton Baltimore, who's he blocking forward? Derrick Henry

362
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: and Kyle Uschek in San Francisco and we know they

363
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: always have a great running attack up there. So if

364
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: the running game with Nagie Harris and a Mario and

365
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: Hampton comes together with this new revamped offensive line, then

366
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: you could put Scott Matt Locke or Steve O. Klotts

367
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: if he makes it as the full back into that

368
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: mix as well, because not a lot of teams carry

369
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: a full back, but they put one every year on

370
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: the All Protein.

371
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: It's a good call. Oh, camera, Dicker, how about him?

372
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: Forgot it? Forgot about it, forgot about the kicker?

373
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, now this he should have been that

374
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: he should have been at this year as Chris Boswell,

375
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: it should have been Dicker. I saw that interesting stat.

376
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it floating a on Instagram.

377
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Chris that he's got ninety seven field goal attempts in

378
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: his career. Once he gets to a hundred war even

379
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: if he misses all three, he will still be the

380
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: most accurate kicker through one hundred attempts in the history

381
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: of the NFL. So about that great call. Get him

382
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: out there, yep, and you.

383
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: Know what to boot Josh Harris logs snap right, lest

384
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: get him as an all pro as well. This is

385
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: from Nate Goasney. Uh how did both of you get

386
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: into the business? And if you were to tell any

387
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: new journalists one piece of advice, what would it be?

388
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: And also who on the team would be able to

389
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: outsurf money? That's the question I want to answer first.

390
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think I think you. I

391
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: think you are. I think you were on a level

392
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: by yourself, sir.

393
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody else who serves like I don't.

394
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I know. I've seen I've seen a car in the

395
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: lot with a definitely has a sticker. I'm trying to

396
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: think if it's a Spider surf it's got a it's

397
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: got a South Bay Surf Shop sticker. I can't remember,

398
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to because I remember having this conversation

399
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: with Rahem Moster, who serves a lot because he's from Hawaii,

400
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: and he and I were chopping it up at the

401
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Broadcast boot camp once and I asked him. I was like, hey,

402
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: if you want to paddle out tomorrow, and he was like,

403
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: I can't. He's like, I can when I'm in Hawaii.

404
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: He's like, but if I'm here around all these people,

405
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: He's like, and people found out, I'd get in trouble.

406
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: So I assume they put snowboarding, and you know, like

407
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I remember of lat when I worked for the Lakers,

408
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: Remember of last Yeah, busted his shoulder snowboarding. You're not

409
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt surfing. Now, you can drown, you can

410
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: slice your foot open. I guess on a fin, I've

411
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: certainly gotten hurt. I busted my shoulder surf and so

412
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: you can get messed up. But the way these guys

413
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: would be surfing, they wouldn't. Yeah, I don't. I don't

414
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: think anybody serves. I've tried to get them out. I've offered,

415
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: and everyone's if they all have the same reaction. The

416
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: shark's out there, man, what is that? Yeah, come on, man, it's.

417
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: You put in your dude, you put in your ten

418
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 2: thousand hours too. I think it's gonna take even if

419
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: they're even if you're an NFL athlete, It take a minute.

420
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: It take a minute to out outsurf Matt Mndy Smith.

421
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was just a throwaway question. What was

422
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: the first half I forgot? I got it now. I

423
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: was thinking first, I need to chase away from Brazil,

424
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: That's all I'm thinking about.

425
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly how did we get into the business and

426
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: what piece of advice would you give a new journalist?

427
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Christian can get started. I'm an old man.

428
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: You got into the business and later than I did.

429
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine was a winding road though. Man Like I,

430
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: I started in sports twenty five years ago. I worked

431
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: as an intern on the John Thompson Show in Washington,

432
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: d C. It was Redskins training camp two thousand, So,

433
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: like I knew, I wanted to get onto the broadcast side.

434
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 2: But sometimes just you take the path you're given. And

435
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: I got a job actually with the now Commander's Redskins

436
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: in the marketing department. Was there for a couple of years,

437
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: and then coincidentally worked with the Lakers when Money was

438
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: there doing Lakers line. I was director of sponsorships for

439
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: nine years, and I got to the point where, man,

440
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: it was awesome. You got to go to three straight finals,

441
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: two championships. But I knew I wanted to get back

442
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: to cover in football, so I left the Lakers in

443
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, came back to LA, did some stuff at

444
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: NFL Network, and then was fortunate enough to get in

445
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: with the Chargers first year in Los Angeles, and that's

446
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: kind of how I started Chargers Weekly, and then did

447
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 2: some stuff with CBS a couple years later. So now

448
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: I'm full time over at CBS, but still get to

449
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: do this podcast with money. So it's been a winding road, man.

450
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: But I guess the biggest piece of advice I'd give

451
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: you is just be open to anything, any opportunity, because

452
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: you don't know where that that path is going to

453
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: take you.

454
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: And as far as like.

455
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: Being a journalist, you know, sometimes creating something and kind

456
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: of making making your own path, forging your.

457
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: Own path is the way to go because I don't

458
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: know about you.

459
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever gotten a job applying online

460
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: and going through that process where it's you know, it's

461
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: just it's very rare that it works that way.

462
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: No, they've always come to me. I've been very fortunate

463
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: on that that front. And you know, like, I think

464
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: it's just how I don't need to I think you

465
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: nailed it, Chris. I'll just piggyback and say, yeah, you

466
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know what an opportunity is going to turn into.

467
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, my first opportunity was answering phones as a

468
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: phone screener for Kevin Eban on k Rock Morning Show

469
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: here in LA And I didn't know at the time

470
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Kimmel was going to become, you know, one

471
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: of the most famous television personalities in the world. He

472
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: was just the sports guy for Kevin Eban, that's what

473
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: he was. And we hit it off and he kind

474
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: of was a mentor to me and helped share what

475
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: he thought was a path to success, and I followed

476
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: him and trusted him implicitly. And on top of that,

477
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: for play by play in my free time, the Long

478
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: Beach Pyramid used to have cassette decks with headsets upstairs

479
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: where you could if you were a student and I

480
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: would just sneak in, you could throw a cassette in

481
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: there and you could call the game. And so That's

482
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: kind of how I got my reps and why I

483
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: didn't have to go to a smaller market to start

484
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: doing play by play, because I probably did, I don't know,

485
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: twenty thirty fifty NBA Summer League games, you know, just

486
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: fake calls of NBA Summer League games. And that's how

487
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I kind of was able to get some reps and

488
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: some time on task. And so I think, if you

489
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: want to go into play by play now, you don't

490
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: have to need you don't need a cassette deck. You

491
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: can get a headset that plugs into your iPhone, hit

492
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: the voice recorder and just sit up there and call

493
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: the game and listen back to it and figure out

494
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: what sounds right, what doesn't adjust your energy levels? Am

495
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I talking too much? Am I not talking enough? Am

496
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: I describing the action right? Do I have the geography right?

497
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Am I saying the players names the way I should

498
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: be saying? Like I did all that stuff. And so

499
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: that's why when my time came, and you know, I

500
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: had a boss who gave me the opportunity to call

501
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: the PAC ten tournament at the time wasn't even the

502
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Yet I was not that nervous. I was

503
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of ready to go and was able to pull

504
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: it off. And you know that led to my play

505
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: by play career.

506
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: What was your first year doing play by play.

507
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: Two thousand Well, technically, it's funny. Before I did play

508
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: by play, I was a color analyst for a game

509
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Michael Thompson got sick and I had

510
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: to fill in for him. I had to hop a

511
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: flight to Sacramento to call the game with Spiro. So

512
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: that was my first like, yeah, that was my first game.

513
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Was A was a Lakers you know, when the Lakers

514
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: were winning championships. A Lakers Kings game was my first

515
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: bit of in game call and I was the analyst.

516
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: And then I believe twenty ten, No, I think I

517
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: did the Pac ten Tournament in two thousand seven. So

518
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: I did the Pac ten Tournament in seven, eight and nine,

519
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: and then I started doing football. In twenty ten, I

520
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: started doing college football. So here I'm fifteen years later

521
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: still calling football.

522
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: Love it, love it man, and you and DJ just

523
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: guess have the best chemistry. This is fun to hear

524
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: the calls and to actually to see the fans literally

525
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: turned down the TV to listen to you. Guys. Still

526
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: I remember I remember as a kid like listening to Sonny,

527
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: Sam and Frank in DC like it was Frank Herzog,

528
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: Sunny Jurgensen and Sam Huff and you would turn down

529
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: your TV. And I love that tradition, and it's how

530
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: it still stands in twenty twenty five, where people will

531
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: want to listen to the home call and and money

532
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: and DJ get that love it's the best.

533
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Chris, thank you. Yeah, it's DJ's the best.

534
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: I just try to stay out of his way. He's

535
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: the best analyst out there. I don't think it's even close.

536
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are amazing, all right, Chris Hill's how's

537
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: Benjamin Saint Juice looking?

538
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 3: I think his skill set is perfect for our scheme.

539
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: I know Dante, Tarheb and Cam are going to get

540
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 2: the bulk of but I think DBS might be a

541
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: sneaky strength on the d So, you know, Saint Juice,

542
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: he had a tough go of it last year with Washington.

543
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: I think his PFF grade was like forty seven point four.

544
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: But I think this is purely the traits and the

545
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: reps that he has.

546
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: In the league.

547
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: I think jesse Minzer and company think that they can

548
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: work with a guy like this, and I'm really intrigued

549
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: to see how he looks with Jesse Minter and in

550
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 2: clan scale and that whole secondary what they're going to

551
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 2: do with Saint Jus and how he's going to fit

552
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 2: into the rotation.

553
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a depth piece.

554
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: You know.

555
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: That's and when we talked to coach Minter, remember what

556
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: he said to us, Chris. He specifically pointed out, you know,

557
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: the Christian Fulton situation that they saw potential that and

558
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: they were really proud of how hard he worked and

559
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: how he took to their coaching and what they wanted

560
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: him to maybe adjust a little bit. And he ends

561
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: up getting a big free agent contract from Kansas City,

562
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: and he pointed out, He's like, yeah, you know, Saint

563
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: just was. He's got the traits, he's got the athleticism,

564
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: he's got everything you'd want in a corner. And we

565
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: feel like we can do some things with him. And

566
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: that's why he's here because he saw what happened with

567
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: Christian and he wanted, you know, and we sold him

568
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: on the idea that we can try to do the

569
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: same thing. And I know they're very excited about Dante Jackson.

570
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 1: So that's you know, I think that the question hit

571
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: it on the head where it's Cam Dante and Tarheeve

572
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: and Benjamin Saint. Just is gonna expect it to play

573
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: impact special teams, be that fourth corner to start and

574
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: try to work his way into the rotation.

575
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's a guy that I think is gonna be

576
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: really fun to watch during the preseason to see kind

577
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: of where he is in this scheme, how quickly he

578
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: picks it up. This is from Rico the Sports Guy.

579
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: How much do you guys think Justin de Boybe impacts

580
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: this year? I know he didn't get too much playing

581
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: time last year, but with the depth looking the way

582
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: it does, can he have a Poon Afford type of impact.

583
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: We kind of touched on the defensive.

584
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: Line element impact money would be, but there's like there's

585
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: like seven deep a defensive tack. I'm really excited about

586
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: this position, grip because you have Tito, you have cald Well,

587
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: you have the two guys Hand and Jones that are

588
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: kind of going to replace Puna A boyd B. You

589
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: still have Scott Matt locked there. So there's a lot

590
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: of guys who I think can play meaningful snaps during

591
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: the regular season.

592
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, they said that year one to year two coach.

593
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: How often have we heard coach Rbass say that the

594
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: off season between year one and year two is when

595
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: you are going to take your biggest jump. And we've

596
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: heard nothing but great things about justin about how much

597
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: weight he's put on of muscle, twenty pounds of straight muscle,

598
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: how different he looks, how he's done everything they've asked.

599
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: We know he was an impact player at Alabama and

600
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: that he was considered a project when he was draped

601
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth round here, So you know, it's we

602
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't know what kind of impact he

603
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: can have. What we do know is he's in a

604
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: very deep room. Like you said, you know, who would

605
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: your starters be, It'll probably be Tito and pick you know,

606
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Nakuon or you know, or Deshaun, and then you're gonna

607
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: be rotating in your third round pick and Caldwell, who

608
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: I think is gonna probably start earning snaps in a

609
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: hurry just because of you.

610
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: Say Tier Tart. I mean, you just say Tier Tart too.

611
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: See there we go, dude, I totally forgot about Tier.

612
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: He's going to be your starter. You're probably talking about

613
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: tier Tart and like Jones and Hand and Tito, and

614
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: that's going to be your main rotation. And then the

615
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: other guys you're gonna sprinkle in and called well in

616
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: a boyd bee. So yeah, I mean the potentials there,

617
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: this was their vision. This was I again you mentioned

Speaker 2: Uh, Dicker speaks Mandard? Does anybody else speak a second language?

636
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: favor of speaking. So I guess I could say a

00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a big run DMC guy. Uh,

644
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: I do like Aerosmith Aerosmith walked this way? No I can.

645
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, and I can recite

646
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: it word for word. It's like an eighteen second song

647
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: and it is called Son of Byford, and I'm not

648
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna rap it, but I will recite it. I was

649
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: born son of Byford, brother of el Betty. Was my

650
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: mammy used to be my pal. It's McDaniel's, not McDonald's.

651
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: These raps are daryls, those burgers are Ronald's. I run

652
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: down my family tree, my mother, my brother, my sister,

653
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: and me. That his son of Byford. It's like this

654
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: weird eighteen second interlude on Raising Hell I believe, and

655
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but it always stuck with me

656
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: for some reason, that song. I have not heard that

657
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: song in twenty years, and yet I can still recite

658
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: it a close, almost almost word for word.

659
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: Now.

660
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: That was always I bet DMC at a at a

661
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: super Bowl party in Arizona. I think it was the

662
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: Giants Patriots super Bowl in seven.

663
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: When I was when I was the music director at

664
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: k Rock, Russell Simmons came in and Run had put

665
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: out his record. He was doing a Reverend Run record

666
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: and he didn't necessarily threaten me, but he kind of did.

667
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: He was just kind of like, so, here's what we're

668
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna do. I was like, well, we're the k Rock here.

669
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: Russell like, you know, this is not an easy fit

670
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: for us, and he's like yeah, but you're playing nine

671
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: to nine Problems by jay Z. I was like, well,

672
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: you know it's Jaz, it's Rick Rubin. Oh so Rick

673
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Rubins just but Rick Rubins got more pull than me.

674
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Well he's Rick Rubin and nine inch nails and you

675
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: know black Crow, Like, eh, there is he? And he

676
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: was like starting to get a little heated, a little upset,

677
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: and he's like, how do we do this. It's like,

678
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: how do we do what? Like, how do we make

679
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: this work? I was like, we'll figure it out. We'll

680
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: figure it out.

681
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: The figure it out.

682
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we did. I would play it at

683
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: night after like I would play it like right before

684
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: love Line in the nine o'clock hour. Oh, that's what

685
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: it was. I was putting it in the Furious five

686
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: at nine and made it sound like people were calling

687
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: to request it. And I did that for like a week,

688
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, here's what I'm gonna do, Russell.

689
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in the Furious five at nine.

690
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: We'll say people are requesting it. If we actually get

691
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: some traction on it, then we'll play it. If not,

692
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: I got to cut it. After a week. We're good.

693
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: He's like, we're good. I was like, all right, don't

694
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: want Russell Simmons on my dad's side.

695
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: That's a great story. Yeah, Oh my god, that's awesome.

696
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: All right.

697
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: Darren tiss Own.

698
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: Do you believe this is the most anticipated season for

699
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: Charger fans? Says the six o seven Charger season, I do,

700
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: bolt up. I feel like we always say it. I

701
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: feel like we always like Jim Harbaugh's first year was

702
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: the most anticipated we've We've had it a long time.

703
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: They won eleven games. I don't know, is this the

704
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: most anticipated.

705
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like, let's see, that would

706
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: have been twenty twenty, twenty twenty. I feel like twenty

707
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 1: twenty two. Right after they lost that game in Week

708
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: eighteen in overtime to Vegas to miss out on the playoffs,

709
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,959
Speaker 1: I feel like that next year was like, Okay, here

710
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: we go, We're we're ready. You know, Staley's the guy

711
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: I love the boldness and the going for it. We

712
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: you know, it was terrible the way it got away

713
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: from him, but herb you know, Justin's ready to take

714
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: that step into the top five elite quarterback kind of,

715
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, and I think unfortunately it went and that's

716
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: the year they won. You know, they got into the playoffs,

717
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: jumped on top twenty eight, nothing on the Jaguars, and

718
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: that just fell apart and it carried over to the

719
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: next season and then coach Staley was gone. So I think,

720
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: like you said, I think, you know, just to build

721
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: on what you were saying, we always like we lest

722
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: we forget, you know, we're prisoners at the moment, and

723
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: there is a lot of excitement about this season, but

724
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: this is almost exactly where we were, you know, coming

725
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: off that nine and eight season, because just because I

726
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: don't think there was as much anticipation going into twenty

727
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: three because of how badly it went against Jacksonville. That

728
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: was kind of like the all the talk was like,

729
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: I still can't believe that happened, And that's sort of

730
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: the attitude that was the fans were kind of carrying

731
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: into the season.

732
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'll say this, I think that the expectations

733
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: are the highest they've been there.

734
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 3: And if you look at what coach.

735
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: Harball did in year one, winning eleven games, and you

736
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: just go by his track record of what he's done.

737
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: I think in year two with the Niners, they did

738
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 2: go to the super Bowl. So the fact that coach

739
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: Harball has this pedigree of winning everywhere he's gone, that

740
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: second year, to me, it seems like the expectations are

741
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: probably the highest because you do go to the playoffs

742
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: in his first year, you you expect the bar to

743
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: be raised another notch. So I don't know about anticipating.

744
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: I think expectation wise though, gosh, if it could if

745
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: it could match the six seven Chargers then I think

746
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: we're cooking here, you know, Segundo come July, you know,

747
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: no doubt, Joshua, Now, do you think our linebacker group

748
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: could be one of the best. We kind of talked

749
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: about this last last week. Even if Junior does not

750
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: have an immediate impact like day on, he could still

751
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: take snaps off day on in Denzel, I don't know

752
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: if I think. I think you mentioned maybe it's the

753
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: one of the more underrated groups on this team talking

754
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: about I.

755
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Think I think it's one of the best groups in

756
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: the league. I expect big things from Junior, and I

757
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: think you listen to how coach talks about him, how

758
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: Jesse Miner talks about him, how hard it was for

759
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: him to get out from under missing all of training camp,

760
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: how much he lost physically from that appendectomy, and just

761
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: trying to climb back from that from a strength from

762
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: a strength standpoint and a being ready for the season standpoint,

763
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: and that they were very excited about what he started

764
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: to show, you know, the last four weeks of the season.

765
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm expecting really really big things out of

766
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: him and to have day On another year in, you know,

767
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: and don't forget Derwin James is a dimebacker, so he's

768
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: part of that conversation too, you know, so you can

769
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: have Dayan and Derwin out there as your linebackers at times.

770
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: And yes, I think it is one of the best

771
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: linebacking groups in the league. And I'm saying that blind

772
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: on expectations for Junior Colson, but I'm comfortable saying it.

773
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: From Willie Ham.

774
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: Is it more of an advantage for us or the

775
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: Chiefs to kick off Week one in Brazil? Well, it's

776
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: a home game for the Chargers, although they have to

777
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: fly thirteen hours to get there. Week ones are or

778
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: always wild cards anyway, money, Do you think there's an

779
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 2: advantage one way or another.

780
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: No, I think it's the same for both teams. But

781
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: as you said, the Chargers lose their game, the Chiefs

782
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: keep their home game against the Chargers, and it comes

783
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: on a short week after the Chargers have to play

784
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champion Eagles on Monday Night Football, So

785
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: it definitely benefits the Chiefs when you take the whole

786
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: season into context, right, Chargers lose a home game, have

787
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 1: to fly thirteen hours instead of playing it, so fine,

788
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: sleeping in their own beds the night before and then

789
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs play the Chargers. It's a Sunday ten

790
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: am Pacific kick after the Chargers had just played Monday

791
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: night football against one of the most physical teams in

792
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: the league, the Philadelphia Eagles. So when you combine those

793
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: two things, it is decidedly Chiefs advantage based on how

794
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: that thing shakes out.

795
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: All right, Shane le Deswa wants money to share why

796
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: he dislikes the Navy so much outside of being winless

797
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: in them. This is something that comes up.

798
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, the people were upset with me about the uniform talk,

799
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: and I knew they would be, which, as I said,

800
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm willing to accept it.

801
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: I to each his own, to each his own.

802
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, because I recognize so many folks that are

803
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: still huge Charger fans in San Diego, and I love

804
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: that and I appreciate that, and that's their uniform. You know,

805
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: many of them that are of the twenty to forty

806
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: year old range navies. They're into navies, you know, even

807
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: fifties because you think about the navies of what was

808
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: it ninety four right that went to the Super Bowl

809
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: to Stan Humphreys. Ye, natrum means like, yeah, you've got

810
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: I get it. But for me, I just have this

811
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: negative connotation because the players come out of the locker

812
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: room and they're like, yeah, neighbors are sweet, and then

813
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: they go out and get their ass kicked, and it's

814
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: happened every single time, and so I just can't get

815
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: over it. Every time I see the Navies, I'm like,

816
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: here we go again. And the players are so into them,

817
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: they love them so much, and you can I mean,

818
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're on the field like they are super

819
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: into them, and then they go out and lose the game,

820
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: and I'm like, can we just get read of these

821
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: Dan Navies. I'm sick of it, like it. They are winless.

822
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: They are winless in Navies since they went to the

823
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Powder Blues. So that's it's a personal thing. It has

824
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the way they look or any

825
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: of that. That's my thing. Now. Do I like the

826
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: way the Royals look better? Yes? I do. That's but

827
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: that's also nostalgia and relationship and watching the epic in

828
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: Miami and those Dan Fouts, Chuck Munsey, those teams, like

829
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: I just love that was sort of my introduction to football,

830
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: was that era of football. Being a little kid, really

831
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: little kid, you know, five year old, you know, watching

832
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: those games and then really getting into you know, football

833
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: at that particular moment. So and I always thought the Chargers'

834
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: uniforms were the coolest things I'd ever seen, and that

835
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: was where the Royals. So that's all it is for me.

836
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: Don't take it personal some of you.

837
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: It's just because of recent history in the in the

838
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 2: scoreboard at the end of the game, after the sixty minutes.

839
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 3: That's it. Yes, this is a great question, XFL.

840
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: What did that person want to say about the Navies?

841
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: I jumped you, Chris, and I was trying to defend

842
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: myself against the many, but I missed the question.

843
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 2: I don't want to No, he just he just wanted

844
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: you to share why you don't like him.

845
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, there we go.

846
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: Well there is just a simple explanation. Change just wanted

847
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: a simple explanation.

848
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: That's it. Man, win a game in the Navies and

849
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm all good.

850
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, all right, xflow.

851
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: Primo most likely to win Protector of the Year award

852
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: was is gonna be a new award this year?

853
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: Slater or alt It's a good question.

854
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Yes, if I were to beat it'd be Slater because

855
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: he's just He's one of the best tackles in the

856
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: league and has been for when he's healthy, he is

857
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: one of the best tackles in the league. He just is,

858
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, now all we think can get there. Last

859
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: year he was great as a rookie and we expect

860
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: him to take a big step this year. But like people,

861
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: people don't. I think, look, Charger fans know. Unfortunately, the

862
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL, you know, doesn't know. And so

863
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: and it's not like if you give Protector of the

864
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 1: Year to Trent Williams or Lane Johnson or Jordan Malatta,

865
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: it's going to be a bad decision. But Rashawn's in

866
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: that conversation, like he is just flat out in that conversation.

867
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: So like Tristan Wurf's, you know, you have to have

868
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: the reputation and that's what typically gets you on those

869
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: all pro teams. So when you see Penna and Tristan

870
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: on the first team, as I'm looking at it, and

871
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: then you see Jordan Malatta and Lane Johnson on the

872
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: second team, it's a tough nut to crack. But if

873
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: they're running the hell out of the ball and Herbert

874
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: stand clean on that blind side and play action is working. Yeah,

875
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be in a mix. He is

876
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: definitely going to be in the mix. I think it's

877
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: probably going to be harder for a right tackle to

878
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: get Protector of the Year unless they're protecting for a

879
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: left handed quarterback.

880
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: So that's what I was going to say, you hit

881
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: on the head with blind side. I mean he's protecting

882
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: Herbert's blindside, so that I think give you the edge.

883
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: But everything we've.

884
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: Heard about Joe alt Man, Yeah, it's it's going to

885
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: be be fun.

886
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. A couple more here before we get

887
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: out of here.

888
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: Money.

889
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 3: Uh this is.

890
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: From Alex Bolta. Do you think Greg Roman is going

891
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: to start throwing to the running backs this year?

892
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.

893
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: I looked at.

894
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: It didn't happen. Well, Gus only caught a few. JK

895
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: was targeted like thirty some odd times. But you know,

896
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: O Marion showed the ability to catch the blot of

897
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: the backfield North Carolina. Now she can catch the blot

898
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 2: in the backfield too. So you know, the more that

899
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 2: those those guys are on the field, I think more

900
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: they're going to be part of the passing game.

901
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think for Roman that he runs the ball,

902
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of those passes to running

903
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: backs are typically extensions of the run game, and it's

904
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: just not something that Greg has really done a lot

905
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: in his career. And I think a lot of it

906
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: also you have to look at when you're talking about historically,

907
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: is the backs that he's had. You know, it's Frank Gore,

908
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: it's Toby Gerhart, it's you know, Gus Edwards and and

909
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: JK and like so the backs you've had aren't necessarily

910
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, who can catch ninety balls a season, and

911
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of what we got used to the previous

912
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: five years. But with Omari and Hampton, yeah, I could

913
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: see him wanting to get him out in some space,

914
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: throwing some passes into the flat and watch him make

915
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: fools of people out there. So I could and not

916
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: to mention, we saw him run that wheel route and

917
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: snag that pass over his shoulder and it's like, okay,

918
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: we're going to see some of this this year. So yeah,

919
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is personnel based.

920
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 3: Two more, do we expect a punter competition? No?

921
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: No, Ryan Ficken loves JK Scott and Jk's pretty awesome.

922
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: So there's no punter competition.

923
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen, Madam Fanas. This will be

924
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: the last question.

925
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: Can you guys do a breakdown of what games you

926
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 3: think will win lose next year?

927
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 2: Love, how money takes into consideration, travel, rest, previous week's

928
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: opponent as these factors seem the way heavy on likelihood

929
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: of outcome.

930
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 3: Thanks, bolt up.

931
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Maybe for another show. I mean, I'd have to go

932
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: through it, and you.

933
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: Know what, how about we do this?

934
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: We have a we have a couple of more episodes

935
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 2: before training camp starts. This may be a this may

936
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: be an exercise that we do maybe next week.

937
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: Definitely we can get into rest what the other like.

938
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: I'd want to that's a good one. I'd want to

939
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: dig into it. Give it the full Warren Sharp treatment.

940
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, what's the opponent coming off? What are we

941
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: coming off as the opponent traveling from the week before?

942
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: Are they looking ahead to the week after? Who was

943
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: their opponent the week before? Was it a physical bloody

944
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: and it's and obviously I get it. I don't need

945
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the disclaimer of well, you know people could get hurt. Yes,

946
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: we go and expect accepting that people can get hurt

947
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: and things can change drastically with who you know, your

948
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges is your quarterback this week, and they still

949
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: want so you know, like I think it's with all

950
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: of that being said, yeah, that's one I'd rather dig

951
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: into because it sounds like that's what you want us

952
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: to do is dig into it and kind of talk

953
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: about where the advantages are and where now. I do

954
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: know they have a net positive rest schedule this year.

955
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: It despite all those mileage, even though they're going to

956
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: be the longest traveling team from air miles this year,

957
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: they do have a net positive rest schedule because all

958
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: of their primetime games, with the exception of the Monday

959
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: night or in Vegas, which is a thirty minute flight,

960
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: are home games. So that's a huge win when you're

961
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: talking about a short week for Thursday night football against Minnesota.

962
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: For Monday night footballs, you know, going into the next week,

963
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: you get all that extra rest because you're at home

964
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: and you're not flying home and ruining your Tuesday and

965
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: Wednesday because you played Monday night football in Pittsburgh and

966
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: you're not getting home until five am. So like all

967
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: of that being taken into consideration. Just to give you

968
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: a thumbnail The huge win is that every single primetime

969
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: game is at home except the Monday night or in Vegas,

970
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: and that's a thirty minute flight. So when we're done

971
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: with that game, it's and that's a late kick. Remember

972
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: that's the doubleheader Monday night or so that's a seven

973
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: o'clock kick. So we're going to be wheels up around

974
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: midnight and instead of getting home at six am the

975
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: next day, you're getting home you know, twelve thirty one o'clock.

976
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: Not too bad. So there you go.

977
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking we'd have a little bit more time

978
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: before camp to dive into some of these topics. The

979
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 2: good news for us we have like one more week

980
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 2: before we get into camp stuff.

981
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have, we have. We're taping this on a

982
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 3: Wednesday now. Next week's to ninth.

983
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: The following weeks for fourthday, so it's like we're in

984
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 2: training camp early man, a couple more weeks.

985
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: It's correct, you know, we'll be doing because yeah, next

986
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: Thursday's the tenth, we'll be at the first day training

987
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: camp for Thursday, when we typically do chargers weekly, it'll

988
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: be the first day camp. Well, we'll probably do chargers

00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,040
