1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you, by the way, and we

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: just got turned there. We got a spike on down

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: there we go New Year. Do you watch the game yesterday?

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I watched a few of them. Yeah. How

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: about the one that matters most Chargers and Ravens, Yeah, yeah,

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: I watched it. Yeah. Do you get anything from a

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: TV broadcast of a of a game like that? I

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: mean you may get some things, uh, situationally as such as, um,

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: you know, if they're going into a two minute like

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: before the half or two minute at the end of

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: the game, things like that. Um, you know, just as

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: far as you know the tempo, you may see some

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: things like that that you might not get with the

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: coaches copy. So it could be helpful that time. So

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: you must be watching that thinking you're gonna face one

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: extreme or the other. I mean, you can't get any

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: different than Lamar Jackson and Philip Rivers. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely, uh,

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: you know a big difference between you know, they're playing styles,

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: but you know they're both dominating. So, um, you know,

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: just watching it, you knew you was gonna have to

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: come with you know, either you know containing you know

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: one guy or you know just uh dealing with a

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: veteran that's just been been in all these type of

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: games and um, you know, can make some very very

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: great pocket passes. So um, you know, like you said,

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: one extreme or another, but they're both challenges. Watching Philip

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Rivers watching the game yesterday, Yeah, he throws the ball weird,

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: but it always seems to get where it needs to gone. Yeah,

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: he definitely got a unique technique as far as you

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: know how he how he throws the ball. But you

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: know he's been doing it so long and been successful

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: with it for so long, so um, you know, he

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: find a way to get it done. So and looking

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: at some of the guys that play your position on

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I mean, Melvin Ingram and Joy Boa seemed

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 1: like as good as there is in the league. Yeah, definitely,

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: they had a great game, you know, just past weekend,

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: and you know that the whole defense is tough. I mean,

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, the whole team basically. You know, they got

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: a good running game. You know, obviously got a vet

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: quarterback that you know, very good passing game, and um,

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: you know the des just you know been doing well

43
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: this year. So it's gonna be a tough task for us.

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Just from a physical point of view, how much does

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: the buye week mean do you guys? I mean it's

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: a long, grueling season. How much does it mean to

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: you physically? Yeah, definitely, you know, us being able to

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: get our feet under this um. You know some of

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: those you know, nicks and bruises that you know come

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: throughout the game. You know, just being able to deal

51
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: with those, you know, get recovery, get some rest. Um.

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's one of those things that you know,

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: if you use it properly, you know, it could definitely

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: be an advantage for you. Do you like playing in

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: the snow? Uh, it might be the thing. I ever,

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever had had to play in

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the snow, but uh, you know, if you even got

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: to play in it, it is what it is. I'm

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: curious because they always say how it's such an advantage,

60
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: you know for the teams up north that play whether

61
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: it's snow or just freezing temperatures. But so many of

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: the guys on the team, like yourself, are from the South,

63
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: so it's like, is it really that big of an advantage?

64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know, I don't think weather

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: guys got to do with a lot of you know,

66
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: as far as winning lose. I mean, you know, if

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: you used to it, I guess you could say, you know,

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: it's an advantage you practice in then you walking outside

69
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: and you see it, you know, just by every time

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: you walk outside. But um, I mean, I guess if

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: you get used to it, it it could be an advantage.

72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: But you know, like you said, a lot of guys

73
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: from the South, and you know, I'm still not using

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: I got a feeling based on his track record. This

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: is an outdoor practice week. I don't think you'll be

76
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: in that field house. Oh yeah, definitely. Uh, you know,

77
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: he's you know, a coach, a gut it, you know,

78
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you know, we gotta go out there

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: and play in it. So, um, you know, whatever it is,

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: we had to have to see what it is and

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: playing it. And it seems like watching the Chargers offensively,

82
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: they're pretty balanced like this, they're not predictable at all. Yeah,

83
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: they have a you know, an all pro wide receiver.

84
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: They got a really good running back, a quarterback we've

85
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: already talked about. So it's not like they really tip

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: their hand on what they're gonna do. Like you guys

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: need to be prepared for everything. It seems like, oh yeah,

88
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: definitely overall game, definitely balanced. H you know, just them

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: being able to run the ball effectively allows them to

90
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, open up the pass game and like you said,

91
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, a good rod receiver, corps. So, um,

92
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: it's definitely going to be a task for so you

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: know you gotta prepare well. Your defense has kind of

94
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: followed the game plan of Bill Belichick teams in the past,

95
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: where the defense got better as the season went along.

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: By the time the season ended, you ended up seventh

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL and points allowed per game. How did

98
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: the defense improve? It's the season, Watt. I think a

99
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys just kind of bought into their role,

100
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: understood their role, and you know, excelled in their role

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: just as far as practicing and preparing well, focusing on

102
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: their technique and things like that, focusing on what they

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: had to do, and you know, a lot of guys

104
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: just brought into it. And um, you know, when you

105
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: get a lot of guys that work hard and buying

106
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: to you know, a specific role and go with the

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: game plan, then you know you got no choice but

108
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: to get better. To find Gilmore's name, first team All

109
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Pro obviously had a great season. And how much does

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: that help you guys up front knowing you got somebody

111
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: back there that can cover the way that he does.

112
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. Um, all those guys in the back

113
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: end just doing a great job this year just being

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: able to you know, allowed the quarterback to hold the ball.

115
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: And you know, anytime you you getting some pressure and

116
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: allowing the quarterback to hold the ball, you got your

117
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: your your coverage. You know, marrying up with your rush

118
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: is always an effective down. So you know, it's always

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: good just to know and have confidence and those guys

120
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: in the back end that you know, the quarterback probably

121
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: not going to have his first read, so he might

122
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: have to hold the ball a little bit longer. Following

123
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: up on your point about guys you know, knowing their

124
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: role and accepting their role here, Uh, there are times

125
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: when your role might not lead to some statistics which

126
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: everybody talks about. And in your case, you know, if

127
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: you were allowed to just Chandler Jones at the quarterback

128
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and the way you go, your sack totals to be

129
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: a lot higher. Does that ever bother you? Nah? You know,

130
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: for me, it's all about the team. So you know,

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: whatever and the coach say is best for the team,

132
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: then you know that that's the game plan. It's best

133
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: for the team. So you know, it's just my job

134
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: to be effective in whatever role they give me that

135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: week and and um, you know, be productive in it.

136
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: So um, you know, as long as we're winning, you know,

137
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining at all. So how was the Antonio

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Gates still getting down? He looks like he's a hundred

139
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: years old. He's like running it seems to slow. Yet

140
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: he's open, he's making plays. He's like he's still got

141
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: to account for him. Uh you know, Uh, he's definitely

142
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: had a great year. I think I've seen one play,

143
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, just walking across the TV. He was, like

144
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: you said, wide open and you know, like you said,

145
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: he kind of tried it out of bound, don't want

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: nothing to do. But yeah, he's uh, you know, he's

147
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: definitely still getting it done. Just an unbelievable career he's

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: had so far, and you know, just for him to

149
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: continue to uh, continue to ex continue to make plays,

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely a guy you gotta account for. So, um,

151
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: like you said, they got a lot of I got

152
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: a few vet guys over there that's been been in

153
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: a situation as such, and you know a lot of

154
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: young guys coming in and making a lot of great

155
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: plays too. So you could win the foot race easily

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: against both Philip Rivers and Tom Brady. I mean not

157
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: even not even close. So you're not concerned about Philip

158
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Rivers scrambling around out there. You kind of know where

159
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be, right, Yeah, no doubt. He's a guy

160
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: that you know, you want to kind of get penetration

161
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: inside the pocket and kind of you know, getting in

162
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: his getting his face as fast as you can, and

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: and m and kind of I don't necessarily give him

164
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: the edge, but just about you know, flushing out the pocket,

165
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: allow him you know, uh, don't allow him to set

166
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: his feet and things like that. So, uh, you know

167
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a you know, the offensive line doing

168
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: a great job this year, you know, protecting him. So

169
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a tough task. Yeah. Well

170
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: you watch Alabama Clemson tonight. Are you sick of those guys? Uh? Yeah,

171
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: I might tune in a little bit. Uh you know

172
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: they've been it's the fourth time to play, right Yeah, Yeah,

173
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's uh a little redundant. Yeah yeah,

174
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of like yeah, yeah, but you know, you know,

175
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: they're doing pretty good. What are you take in the game? Uh, man,

176
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know, man, I hate them both. Yea.

177
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, Arkansas. You know, I

178
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: always didn't like Alabama, but you know, now that you

179
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it feels like I really don't

180
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: don't really care too much. So yeah, it's it's whatever.

181
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: You got a lot of Alabama guys here, Clemson guys

182
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: on your team. Oh yeah, I think Dwayne Allen. Yeah,

183
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's uh, they're doing a little talking in
