We appreciate you guys 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.640 watching the Jim Harball interview last week. It was it 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.360 was funn to catch up with coach before everybody broke here. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.880 And you know I asked for questions, buddy, I got 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:10.800 fifty questions. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.080 Okay, literally fifty questions. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.280 Can this may be a two part mail bag, so 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.600 shout out to all the fans too, who you know, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.240 this could be your time to relax and unplug with 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:22.280 chargers information. 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:23.840 But they're seeking content. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.480 They are seeking content constantly and. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:26.360 We love it. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.560 So let's just start with Chris Boltzon. He has been 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.000 out for army training without my phone for the past 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.759 few weeks. Give me the highlights of what I missed. Chris, 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.440 First of all, thank you for your service. I hope 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.039 that this mail bag provides that for you. I think 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.240 that the fans did a really good job of touching 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.160 on a lot of things. And Krim says, I like 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.080 Jalen Rager. Why do you guys think the coaching staph 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.600 loves him so much? And do you think he starts 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.680 over the rookies when Brazil comes around? 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.160 Well, I'll start with Chris. Was his name, I'll start 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.800 with Chris Karim Krim, So that's Corrim. What did I miss? 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:02.600 Oh? 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.040 Chris? 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.200 Oh? Chris, Chris is what did I miss. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.000 Yeah, so I think of all the things, of all 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.000 the things that you missed if you were gone for 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.200 the last few weeks, I would recommend going back and 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.600 watching our conversation with Jim Harbaugh and just listen to 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.040 the snippet of the block of grantitede explanation. You gotta 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.280 kind of dig into how you win the block of 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.200 granted award. When I went back and watched the episode 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.640 from last week, Chris, I just he he's so great, 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.480 Like how into it he gets. And he's like when 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.880 he starts with a hundred points come from the game, okay, 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.040 a hundred points, now two and a half points come 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.840 from I'm like, this is incredible, Like this is not 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.760 some Yeah, you know what, you're strong, you had a 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.640 big hit in that game, and you know here's your 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.400 block of grant award. No. I mean he's got seven 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.799 different categories and you get two and a half points here, 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.880 and you know, derwin, Like you could argue you could 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.560 have been number one because it's not really his fault. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:55.959 He got a spender for that Chiefs game, so I 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.480 didn't want to hold that against him. But he wasn't 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.480 out there playing, so you know, we got an points 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.440 though in this category. It was fantastic. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.720 We saw that at the golf tournament. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.840 Say, it was just a step shot into it that 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.840 he was he was doing that with all the all 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.560 the sponsors in the VIPs and and the fans who 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.679 were part of that golf tournament with the scramble, and 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.560 it was broken down almost the exact same way. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.880 Yes, yes, and we're going to play fourteen holes and 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.400 then you got a double bogie and then after that 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:20.920 you got a bogie and then after that you got 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.440 a par to get to eighteen and then we're going 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.160 to crown one champ. And it's just look, it's it's 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.079 practice what you preach, right, competitors welcome, So Chriss, you 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.680 miss a lot. Yeah to the rager thing. You know, 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.400 we're just echoing what coaches say to us and his 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.880 name repeatedly. I think I think there is I believe 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.680 we got into this here. You know, there is just 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.960 something about draft status and you get a draft pick 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.080 attached to your name, and it gives you multiple opportunities 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.840 because of how you were evaluated by front offices and scouting, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.800 you know, in scouts and the staff that they thought 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.600 you were going to be something special, and when you're 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.160 not and they're trying to figure it out, they just assume, well, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.600 maybe we can unlock it. And so he's always had speed. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.720 There's a reason why he got picked in the top 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.400 twenty five and went ahead of Justin Jefferson, you know, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.080 because they saw something. The Eagles saw something on that film, 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.880 so they're trying to find it, you know, and that's 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.520 I think there's flashes, but the NFL is also about 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.000 consistency and making sure. You know, he had that incredible catch. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.320 I think it was a Saints game right that he 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.520 had that incredible catch, and then obviously the Arizona game was, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.560 you know, probably the most unfortunate of his plays with 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.320 that huge drop that really could have set the tone 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:34.760 for that game. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.279 He had seven catches for one hundred yards, and it 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:38.840 was back to back weeks. He had that forty one 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.000 yard reception against Arizona, and then I think he had 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.159 that twenty four yard catch against New Orleans and that 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.479 was the small snapshot. So I think when we say 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.159 that the coaches love Jalen Ragers, it's also what they're 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.280 seeing on the practice field. Yeah, and it's also not 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.240 saying that he's going to be a starter. It's just 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.440 saying even make the team. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.719 Or even make the team, he's going to be in 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.239 the mix to make the team. 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.520 So I think that was encouraging too, Chris, I don't 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.520 remember who it was, if it was Coach Roman or 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.440 coach LLL, but one of them, you know, said I 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.400 think it might have been Coach Roman who said, you know, look, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.400 he's got to play special teams. You just got to 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.960 show we can if he wants to make this roster, 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.840 he's gonna have to show because look, if you're the 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.280 fifth or sixth receiver, you're playing special teams. So that's 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.720 also going to be a big part of this as 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.040 to whether or not he's gonna be able to make 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:25.640 that fifty three. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.279 Yeah, you know, the preseason's gonna tell us so much. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.480 We got a Brendan Rice question too, everyone asking about him. 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.320 But it's just it's a very crowded wide receivers room 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.279 from let's say four to nine, right, I mean, we 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.760 don't know who it's gonna be. We know the lad 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.880 and Trey Harris and Mike Williams and Quintin Johnson are 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.440 probably the first four, and then after that it's anybody's guests. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.120 And I think with Brendan Rice two is I think 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.719 you've now realized and we do this every year, we're like, oh, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.880 you can't put that wide receiver on the practice squad. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.000 He'll get claimed and they don't, you know, with Michael 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.960 Bandy every year. And I think if if Brandon, you know, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.880 I hope he makes the team. I hope he shows out. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.320 He had a great training camp last year. If he doesn't, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.280 I think he'll be fine. I think he'll be fine 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.920 as one of those guys on the practice squad. 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.080 Got a lot of international questions, Bunny, this one from 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.479 the UK, Australia, poland in UK, all wrapped up into 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:16.680 these two mailbacks. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.039 This is from Lewis. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.679 Which players or position groups have the most to gain 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.800 going into camp to try to take on or grow 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.320 their role? 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.600 Started defensive line. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.080 Yeah, I think there's a lot of potential guys on 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.120 the defensive line, whether you're a rookie, whether you're two 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.640 lee to below two stepping up into that starting role. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.320 You lose punea Ford, you lose Joey Bosa. But I 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.479 think coach Miner alluded to this. You know, we lost 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.680 a couple of guys, but we added more players to 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.720 that line, and coach referenced the line how big it is. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.640 So I think that there's a lot of guys who 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.839 can kind of raise their hand across that defensive line 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.159 this year and make a big impact. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.040 Yeah, for me, it's wide receiver. I think there's so many. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.400 You know, Mike Williams's back, he's been working off to 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.320 the side. You've got a high raft pick, and Trey Harris, 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.320 who was a second round pick that some people had 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.000 graded as a high second round. You know, perhaps depending 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.840 on what kind of skill set you want, you could 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.400 have him maybe sneak into the back end of that 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.120 first round. So and then on top of that, we 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.160 have Caandre Lambert Smith. We have not seen it all through, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.480 which is tough for him because that sets you back 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.560 a little bit. And then I think it's just because 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.680 you look at last year and how you know, Look, 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.040 you had a solid season as a number two. You'll 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.720 take those numbers, you know, the way he came to them, 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.760 I think would still say, hey, we've got to figure 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.040 this room out and sort out how you're going to 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.320 help out that. And I think I'll I'll cheat and 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.400 I'll pair the tight end room with that too, just 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:45.320 because to me, there is so much untapped potential for 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.400 where this offense can go if you can open things 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.920 up a little bit and get it to breathe a 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.920 little bit. And that's just all, you know, one hand 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.160 washing the other of let's get the running game, let's 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.560 get play action, let's get some downfield threats to open 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.600 this thing up so we can breathe. So that's what 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.480 I'm you know, like every year, right, always kind of 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:01.760 pay attention to the wide. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.720 Receiver room, to your point of the receivers. Though, with Q, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.160 I do think he has a lot to gain. With 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.640 Trey Harris and Mike Williams come in, he talks so 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.920 much about that ex receiver. Maybe it puts Q in 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.600 a place where he can finally have a little bit 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.920 of consistency and in a in kind of a rhythm 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.680 that we saw him get from his rookie year to 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:19.160 second year. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.280 Maybe year three is even better. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.240 Yeah, you know, to me, it's like I think everybody 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.560 wants to when they think of a receiver, they want 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.360 thousand yards a touchdown, like you know, eighty catches thousand 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.320 yard or whatever. Sixty five catches, thousand yards, eight touchdowns, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.120 it's kind of your floor. To me, it's it's it's like, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.840 I don't I don't think about it like that. I 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.240 just think about it as a room, Like what's the room. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.840 It's the room. You know, if Q's numbers go down, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.240 but he's you know, it's working for him as that 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.600 Z and it's those quick hitters and underneath and that's 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.520 he's got a ton of yak and it's opening things 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.240 up and he ends up with a couple of touchdowns 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.160 that are impactful here and there. Great you know, if 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.480 Mike Williams is back to what he was with with 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.319 Keenan Allen, when Keenan was got and thirteen hundred yards 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.080 and one hundred catches and Mike was supplementing that with 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.040 eight hundred yards and six touchdowns and sixty catch great 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.760 like and then like it's just cumulative, Like think about 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.600 Justin's rookie season and what it looked like. You know, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.320 how many you had Hunter Henry with I don't know 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.560 what it was six hundred yards and Keenan's a thousand 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.160 yards and Mike's eight hundred and ninety five yards and 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.120 Geiden's got three point fifty and t Billy's got two 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.280 fifty and three touchdowns, like that's that's kind of what 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:31.160 I'm more interested in. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.760 I'm glad you looped the tight ends into that because 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.679 the emergence of Conklin and we talked about Gatson. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.400 I'm sure we'll get to on some of these questions. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.200 Paul Ken seven five seven, one five, five four six. 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.679 How's the third and fourth round defensive draft picks looking well? 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.760 Coach reference how big they are with Caldwell and then 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.000 you got Canard SEC Player of the Year and I 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.160 know coach Mitter uh talked about them with with you 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.439 and Jalil a couple of months ago. It's very difficult 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.040 to see how they look in training camp until they. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.559 Put that on. In terms of Jamori, I think it's 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.920 just going back to his path here. You know, here's 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:12.760 someone who was in upfield. You know, pressures, sacks, quarterback, hits, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.199 defensive tackle at Houston, and you know, that's a pretty 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.120 good ticket to get to the NFL if you can 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.440 do that and put that on your resume. And then 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.080 he gets to Oregon and they're like, yeah, put on 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.080 thirty pounds and eat up double teams and Derek Carmon's 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.360 going to get all the shine and he's going to 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.680 get drafted in the top twenty, and he's like, no problem. 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.320 And so I think that just speaks to the type 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.160 of player he is. So I'll be interested to see 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.679 because that tends to be the way that that jesse 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.000 Minner wants his tackles to play. It's a little bit 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.160 more of a hey, let's let's occupy a couple guys 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.640 and you know, and that's why Puna was so great 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.280 because he could do that and get upfield and get 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.480 those pressures. And I think Jamari's got an opportunity to 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:49.839 do that. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.360 Herbo Dog. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.880 How much room is there for Herbert Herbert to improvise 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.760 on the field. Do you think we'll see a different 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.280 side both Herbert and Roman this season with more talent in. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.480 Depth to work with. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.640 Based on what coach Roman said to you, I'd say 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.440 he's pretty happy with the additions, especially the running game, 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.400 which will probably allow Herbert to do even more back there. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.520 Yeah, for me, it's not even the additions, it's just him. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.800 You know. He tore his planner in training camp and 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.400 then he had an incredibly brutal high ankle sprain that 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.920 was under reported in Carolina in Week two, So that's 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.360 going to limit And coach said that, he's like, yeah, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.520 I mean we were playing with one hand tied behind 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.360 our backs with his health when it came to getting 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.840 him on the move. And so if he's healthy and 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.720 his lower half is right, then that is going to 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.880 contrue because we've seen him do it. Yeah, we didn't 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:40.319 see problem. 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.160 We didn't see in the playoffs. What we saw towards 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.280 the back half of the year seemingly almost. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.560 Every lea when he started cutting loose. So yeah, I 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.920 think if he's healthy, it's just go through the quarterbacks 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.000 that Greg Romans had in his career, you know, and 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.760 what it looks like. If it's Colin Kaepernick, it's Andrew Luck, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:00.000 if it's obviously Lamar Jackson, like he likes his quarterback 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.040 extra run around a little bit. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.199 Yeah, And just adding to the question where he does 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.880 talk about the talented death that helps certainly when when 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.360 you have two running backs that you're really excited about. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.160 You talked about all those receivers that were added to 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.280 the the arsenal there to go with Conklin and Gatst 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.600 and I think it's gonna make Herb's to help. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.360 At the mesh point too. You know how many times 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.559 you know, we've talked about it where you know, when 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.920 you're on the seventh floor of so Far, thanks for 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.440 the broadcast position there, Stan, you can see it. And 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.080 it's just like if you just keep it and like now, 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.040 if you have an effective running game with you know, 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.040 with them, with with Amari and and and with Nase, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.559 now that's going to be even more available. And he's 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.400 you know to me, that's there's like probably ten of 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.439 those over the course of the year that I'd love 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.200 to see, like just ten of those, you know, read options, 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.199 keep it, get your ten yards and put that defense 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:53.920 on their heels. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.719 He had the best passer rating of his career yeah 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.680 seven yeah, and then also the the lowest yards per game. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.200 But if you can get that yards per game up 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.080 a little bit with the talent, I think that that's there. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.080 In twenty twenty five, This is from David High. Do 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.640 you think Tooley is ready to take another take the 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.439 other starting outside edge spot alongside Mac? How many secks 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.640 do you think Tooley will get this season? You and 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.400 I joked, I think his rookie year just see how 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.000 he set Bosa and back up for the sex. Yeah, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.880 he's like the stock in the Hockey Assist this year. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.920 I yeah, I mean obviously think the sacks are going 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.240 to go up, but I do think it's going to 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.160 be a collective effort. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.680 I mean, there's so many guys across that line. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.080 Now. Yeah, to the first part of the question, he 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.480 is the starter, like it's gonna be Tooley and Khalil. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.960 I mean, those are your starting edge players. You know, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.360 was it November that he had the crazy month that 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.400 he had six sacks? Or was it October? A camera 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.360 of what month it was. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.000 I think it was October. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.640 Where Yeah, there's so we know it's in there. It's 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.840 just a matter of and I think you kind of 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.559 then then you go through like the depth chart of 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.760 every other team and you're like, Okay, what tackles is 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.440 he going to be going against? Because they're probably you know, 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.920 if Khalil is you know what Khalil is, I should 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.440 that's stupid to say. If Khalil Mack looks like he 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.520 has the last couple of years and continues to be 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.559 a pass rushing threat, they're going to probably send some 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.200 some team some double teams his way and that's going 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.480 to leave twully one on one. I'm just going to 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:18.559 like the first. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.840 It was, it was end of October, that's spilled in November. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.440 He had a sack versus the Saints, two and a 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.680 half against Cleveland, two against Tennessee, a sac and a 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:26.720 half against Cincinnati. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.520 Yeah, so he's got it. You know, he's showed him 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.400 the consistently, you know, with pressures and sacks and quarterback hits. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.600 He can do it. So Week one Brazil, he's probably 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.920 going to be going up against a rookie left tackle 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.320 and Josh Simmons who's coming off a severe injury, or 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.640 Jawan Taylor, who I think is you know, right at 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.400 that average to below average mark. So and then when 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.920 you talk about tight ends, Travis Kelsey's not really a 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.440 big blocking tight end. They'll throw out Noah Gray there 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.800 to help on one side, but he's probably going to 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.600 be helping a little bit more toward Khalio max side. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.200 And then you have Pacheco who's a solid pass pro back. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.400 But like I just look at Week one and it's like, yeah, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.160 you're going against a rookie or you're going against Jawan Taylor. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.360 I could see him coming out the gate immediately with 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:12.760 a sack. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.200 Next question is from Madeiros, what position group is the 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.920 most concerning for depth. It's tough to answer this question now. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.000 I always think that the position group that gets injured 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.600 it's the most concerning for depth, and we hopefully won't 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.920 have to worry about that much during the regular season. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.840 I would say, if if I had to pick, if 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.320 I had to pick a position right now, it's the 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.240 offensive line, just because I don't know how it's gonna 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.520 shake out from a starter perspective, and I don't know how. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.040 You know, I look like Trey Pipkin is gonna be 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.920 the swing tackle. Coach Harbol we talked about that last week, 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.760 but that would probably be the one position I would 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.360 pick right now if I had to. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:59.280 Yeah, for me, I'm gonna go edge just because it's yeah, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.160 Trulee who has never been a starter and is replacing 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:07.200 Joey Bosa and it's a rookie and Kyle Canard. And 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.720 then when I go to and I'm gonna just do 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.760 this real quick so I get it right because I 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.640 don't want to short change him. I feel like Bud, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.240 you know, he's he was great at set in the 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:21.000 edge but when it came to sort of pass rushing, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.480 like I don't I don't remember him having a ton 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.880 of pressures. So let's get into like buddpre last year 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.880 had thirty pressures. So like to me, you got fifty 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.240 eight pressures from Mac, you got forty seven from Tully, 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.160 you lost thirty five and twenty eight from Morgan Fox 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.880 and Puna Ford and we of course know that those 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.720 are gonna help your edges out. So like that's the one, 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.200 Like what can Kyle Cnnard give you if is he 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.240 a DPR is he you know, do they trust him 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.200 enough against the run to put him in there? Can 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.840 he help into that rotation to keep these guys fresh? 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.040 So for me, that's that's probably the one I'm gonna 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.000 be the most interested in. I thought that was sort 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.440 of the position that I could have seen them somebody 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.800 out there that we could pick off just to help 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.480 because of how much coach Minner likes to rotate that 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.240 position and just keep fresh bodies coming in over and over. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.200 And maybe that's still on the table right A guy 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.760 like von Miller or Zadarias Smith, I think is still 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.399 out there, and those would be the type of players 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.000 you wouldn't want to ask a ton out of but 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.280 maybe the supplement what Joey brought, because you're gonna see 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.080 much Yep, bud stats are gonna go up. You know, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.880 the Jerry's out of Cadards. That's a good one. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:26.440 Yeah. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.440 Offensive line, they actually, I mean they brought in they 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.240 brought in Andre James, So you have like three potential centers. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.280
