1 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Welcome into a very special roundtable edition 2 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: of Chargers Weekly as we react to the Chargers selecting 3 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: Zion Johnson number seventeen overall. As always, joined by Matt 4 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: money Smith, we got our guys, Daniel Popper of the Athletic, 5 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Jeff Miller La Times guys. Before we get into Zion 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: just Sofi Stadium yesterday. Money, I'll start with you. The 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: vibe looked electric. It was incredible. I mean, I'm look, 8 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: I people will say that I'm biased and I'm trying 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: to be hyperbolic, but I did not expect that. You know, 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: I expected it to be you know, cool Snoop's gonna play, 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: so they'll probably be a handful of people that and 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: by handful I mean you know, a few thousand people 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: to come out. I don't know what the number is 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: by the eyeball, and I would guess north of ten, 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: maybe between ten and fifteen thousand people. I think we're out. 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: It was a five sections wide from the field all 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: the way to the top section, so a ton of jerseys. 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: We were you know, Petros and I did the show. 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: Um they're from right outside where the stage was, and 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: we just had a ton of fans. I mean, god 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: knows how many Justin Herbert jerseys were in the stands. 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: They were everywhere. People were excited. It was. It was 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: really cool. Kudos to the to the Chargers for putting 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: on what I thought was just an exceptional event. I 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: heard Jeff tried to get on stage for Jin and 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Juice and was denied. You couldn't get on Jeff, Is 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: that right? You dragged him out of that. Uh. For 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: people who don't realize this, I'm in a walking boot 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: right now. That would have actually probably been pretty funny 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: if I had gotten up on stage hobbling around up there, 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: sure it would have taken the whole party to another level. 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: Stoked to see Popper out with dj Esmeralda. He was 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: in that leather vast shirtless dancing around. That was nice 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: effort there, Popper. I thought that was yeah, yeah, yeah, no, 35 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: I've been working on I've been working on my dance 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: moves off. I appreciate that I was practicing in front 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: of the mirror for a whole months, so I'm really 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: happy that the that the practice came across to all. 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: You guys. Way to show up in the game. You're 40 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a gamer, You're a total gamer, rising for the occasion, 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: rising to the occasion. That's my scouting report. That's right. Yeah, yeah, 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: I had a great time. Um, I was out there 43 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: for Snoop. My question to Jeff is what artists would 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: have had to perform for you to get out of 45 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: the photo room and go out there and listen to 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: the music? Like, who would who? Who? Did you? Who 47 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: would have had to have been for you to get 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: out there? Um, most of them have passed away by now. 49 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: So what about about Bob Dylan. We're talking about like 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, say, like Beethoven walked out like you would 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: have had to go? Right. I was gonna say Perry Como, 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think anyone even knows who that is. Uh. 53 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: I'm currently googling Perry Como. There you go. Oh, I've 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: seen Bob Dylan several times. If it was Bob Dylan, 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: I definitely would have gone out there. Yes, there we go. 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: Snoop is in the war room. Uh. Maybe maybe he 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: made the pick Maybe he made the Zion Johnson pick up. Well, 58 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: let's just get into him signed with his record label 59 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty three. If people wondering that was that 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: was one of the more recent ones that Miller could 61 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: come up. Hey, Chris, get us back on the rails destroyed. 62 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: We can we can keep going down this rabbit hole, 63 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: like just more of a two short guy if he would, 64 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: If too short was out there, it wouldn't been a 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: different story, right, exactly, right, totally absolutely, yeah, all right. 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: Zion Johnson, Guys, it's a name that I think we 67 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: talked about a little bit, but it addresses in need. Um. 68 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,559 Speaker 1: There were some other guys that we've talked about extensively 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: on this podcast that were there, guys like Trevor Penning 70 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and um h McDuffie. But Zion plug and play probably 71 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: for the next decade. Popper. Yeah, And we were talking 72 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: about this before we started recording. You know, he's a 73 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna slide in right away. And Tom Slasco 74 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: said yesterday nine hundred two thousand, Snacks's a durable player, strong. 75 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: They feel like he's proficient as a pass protector, great 76 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: in the run game. Comes from a pro styles team 77 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: at Boston College. They feel like the transition is going 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: to be really easy. You know, his head coach was 79 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: an NFL coach for for close to a decade. His 80 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, was an NFL coach for close to a decade. 81 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: His offensive line coach at BC is now the offensive 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: line coach in Miami, so you feel like the transition 83 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: is going to be easy. So so it makes sense 84 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: in that regard. And if you look historically, you know 85 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: this is where plug and played guards have gone. And 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, I felt like Zion Johnson maybe wasn't at 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: that level of say Zach Martin, Elijah Vera Tucker, Chris Lindstrom, 88 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: guys that have gone in the teams in previous years, 89 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: his plug and play guards. But obviously the Chargers feel 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: like he's that type of guy because they took him 91 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: at seventeen. And you know, the priority for the organization, 92 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: clearly since Brandon Day has arrived, is building this offensive 93 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: line and creating protection, not only protection in front of 94 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, but a unit that can be dominant in 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 1: the run game as well. And it's clear two straight 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: first round picks spent on offense of lineman. You know, 97 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: before Brandon Silly arrived, the last time the Chargers has 98 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: been a first round pick on offensive lineman was DJ 99 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: Fluker in twenty thirteen. So it's a clear shift in philosophy, 100 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: and I can't knock that strategy because you have to 101 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: develop your offensive line. The only way to do that 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: is to invest in it with high picks. And it's 103 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: exactly what the Saints have always done. And that's no 104 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: coincidence either that Joe Lombardi comes over here and Brandon 105 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: silly guy who's always admired what John Payton did in 106 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans before you know he retired. You know, they 107 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: invest in their offensive line, whether it's Ryan or in Check, 108 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Caesar Ruise and just Pete all 109 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: first round picks. Ron Armstead was a third round pick, 110 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: So this is how he wants to build the team. 111 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: And I can't knock him for going out there and 112 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: drafting an offensive line who's gonna be able to play 113 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: right away, keep justin herb or protected, and improve the 114 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: run game. Jeff, you know, four years ago they draft 115 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: Irwin James. He makes an immediate impact, and you know 116 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: they're still we got nine more picks to go, but 117 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: you're looking for guys outside of the Khalil Max and 118 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: the JC Jacksons and all the other guys they got 119 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: on defense to make that immediate contribution and I feel 120 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: like this is a guy you're not gonna have to 121 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: wait on. Um, You're gonna get that production right off 122 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: the rip starting in week one. Oh absolutely, I mean 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: Tom Tolesco said it last night. I mean, he's the starter. 124 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: There's no I mean, he's It's just like Rashawn last year. 125 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: Reshawan s later. He's the starter. He arrives as the 126 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: as the starting right guard, and unless something goes horribly wrong, 127 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be budged from that spot. And when 128 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: when the GM, especially Tom Telesco, who is just is 129 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: openly saying, this guy is gonna play nine hundred to 130 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: one thousand snaps if he does what we expect him 131 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: to do. That's you can't get more of a ringing 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: endorsement for a for a rookie than that. And I 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: mean this is an hour after they picked him, so 134 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: they obviously believe in this guy. I think part of 135 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: it might be, you know, Pop makes a good point 136 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: about you know, he may may not have the projection 137 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: right now and some of these other guards that have 138 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: gone in that part of the draft, but he's he's 139 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: a late bloomer as we've we've heard, right, he only 140 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: played two years high school football and really came on 141 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: at Boston College. So I think the Chargers probably view 142 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: him as you know, his ceiling it's still is still, 143 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, quite a way he's up there. And I 144 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: think they realized, you get around you know, NFL coaching 145 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven and around NFL players twenty four 146 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: to seven, and he's now he's going to be working 147 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: right next to Corey Lensley, and you know, we all 148 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: know what Corey does and what he brings in his reputation. 149 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: I think they probably look at it and say, man, 150 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: this guy, as good as he is right now, as 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: quickly as he has climbed to this point, if he 152 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: can make another jump like that in the next year 153 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: or two, I mean they might have, you know, they 154 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: might have their right guard for the next decade. Money. 155 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: We talked to Dane about Zion's he was Dane's top 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: guard and just the durability. I think he played fifty 157 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: eight games in college, he didn't miss a game, had 158 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of starts at BC. He was a zero 159 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: star recruit coming out of high school Riverdale Baptist. So 160 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that this guy's only played a 161 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: couple of years of high school college ball. That ceiling 162 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: is high. But we also here the term high floor 163 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: right money, and that's kind of I think what we're 164 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: getting here with Zion. Yeah, there's a you know a 165 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: few things that I think we can revisit, you know, 166 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: from we've been doing this every week, you know, through 167 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: the whole draft process, and I think you know, there's 168 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: a number of boxes that we're checked. No matter where 169 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: you pick, you can't afford to miss on your first rounder. 170 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: And I think more and more teams you're starting to 171 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: see you know, look, you didn't see it with the Jags, 172 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: and that's why I think they're taking some incoming but 173 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, play it a little bit more safe and 174 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, I'm fine taking a double. 175 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with that. You know, I'll take six 176 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: yards on first down with my first round pick instead 177 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: of trying to get fifteen and you know, maybe having 178 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: an incompletion in vase and second and tend to use 179 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: a football analogy instead of baseball. So that's that checks 180 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: one box. This is one of the safest cleanest players 181 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: in the draft too. You know, we talked about at 182 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: seventeen and obviously the board felt differently, So there were 183 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the players we talked about what we said, Hey, look, 184 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: if one of the three corners isn't available, if the 185 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: four tackles are gone, if the five receivers are gone, 186 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: this is and you alluded to it, pop, this is 187 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: where the guard gets picked. This is where the top 188 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: interior lineman gets picked. Whether it's Andrews or Martin or 189 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: any of those guys. You typically see it between fifteen 190 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: and twenty because kind of the the top tier of 191 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: those different you know, prime positions, offensive, tackle, wide, receiver, defensive, 192 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: and they tend to be gone. And so if you 193 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: want elite, you get elite at maybe a second tier position. 194 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: So that comes into play. And then I just kind 195 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: of think about all the games I've called, you know, 196 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: this will be my sixth year calling games for the Chargers, 197 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: and I think about what's given them the most trouble, 198 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: and it's always been stout interior line. When when the 199 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: Chargers have played teams that have had centered two guards, 200 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: it's always been a little bit tougher for Joey to 201 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: get to the court. It doesn't sound right because the 202 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: tackles are bad, but they're allowed to help and push out. 203 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: And I just think about those Raider games when they 204 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: had Incognito and Jackson and Hudson and just sort of 205 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: the struggles and how that pocket stayed clean for car 206 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: to just kind of get those quick completions off and 207 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: move an offense. So when you now think about Filer, Lindsay, Lindsley, 208 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: and Johnson, I mean, that's pretty damn exciting to know. 209 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: And then you got Slater on one side, you can 210 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: cover up one side. You know, you you you need 211 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: to get at least something that's not league average, but 212 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: at least not a giant liability, And I know that's 213 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: something that we're going to get to. But I'm fine 214 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: with the pick, no question about it, because of what 215 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: it does for that pocket to keep the pocket intact 216 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: with those three guys, And that's impressive for Justin Herbert. 217 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: You mentioned just getting six yards with your first round pick. 218 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: How about just getting six yards on first down with 219 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: Joanna Johnson, Right, I'm serious, just like he'll make the 220 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: running game better. We talked to Austin Eco last night 221 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: in Vegas, who made that announcement that it's it's chiefs 222 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: charges in Arrowhead Week two Austin's like, listen, open big 223 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: holes and protect the quarterback. I mean, Austin loved the pick. 224 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: I know Justin's probably thrilled with the pick. But that's 225 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: what I think this running game kind of lacked, is 226 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: getting to second in third and short sometimes. And we 227 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: talk about on a defense, but also offensively, you know, 228 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: control time of possession money with just the running game 229 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: and then let Justin do his thing. Yeah, no doubt. 230 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you know when I think coach said it. 231 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: You know, Coach Dailey said an Espresser and Jeff and 232 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: Pop I know you were there. He said, Look, this 233 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: isn't just a pick for Justin. It's a pick for 234 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, for Keenan Allen, for plays down the field, 235 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: for Trey McKitty, and for the tight ends. And now 236 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: you don't maybe need to have two tight ends block. 237 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: Like to me, guys, Jeff Pop, I mean, it's it's 238 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: a it is a whole offense pick when you solidify 239 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah. One thing I'll add here is 240 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: that the Chargers and Brandon didn't mention this, but they 241 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: were really one dimensional on how they ran the ball, 242 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Like they could run the ball on the left side. 243 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: They were dominant, absolutely dominant, And the numbers bear this out. 244 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they average four point nine one yards per 245 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: carry on runs off the left tackle to the left 246 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: tackle on to the left guard. On every other run, 247 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: so from the center over to the right they average 248 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: three point six yards per carry. That's according to Sharp 249 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: football stats. Doesn't get any more blatant than that. They 250 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: could run the ball to the left side as well 251 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: as any team in football, and they were really average 252 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: to the right side. And what this does is you 253 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: bring in an excellent runacer on the right side, and 254 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you can run the ball up 255 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: the middle. You can run to that a gap in 256 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: between the center and the right guard, even run in 257 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: that b gap between the right guard and the right tackle. 258 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: All of a sudden you have a much more balanced 259 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: running game. And so when you need to run the 260 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: ball and you're up late in the game, the defense 261 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: is like, okay, they're going to last side here. They 262 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: have to go to the last side of here because 263 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be running behind. For Sean Matt Feiler, It's okay, 264 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: they can go anyway they want, and that's going to 265 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: open things up for this running game considerably. Yeah, Jeff, 266 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: third down defense, hopefully it was addressed with some of 267 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: those picks, and you know, maybe the third down offense 268 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: you get the third and short and you know, help 269 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: the running game out as well. Oh absolutely. I mean 270 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about last season and some of the struggles 271 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: they had, and it was still a really good, good 272 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: offense last year. So if you think of it in 273 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: that respect, if they can shore up the right side 274 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: of this line, and they made a big move yesterday 275 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: to do it, you know what does that mean for 276 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and all these weapons. I mean, it's it's 277 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: if you're a fan of this team. You know, Tom 278 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: Flisco said the last it's not the sexiest pick to 279 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: take a guard, But go on social media and try 280 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: to find fans, charge your fans complaining about this pick. 281 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be on board. I mean, the consensus 282 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: is this is a great pick, and all the NFL 283 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: insider types are applauding it and saying this is a 284 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: great pick. So I think when I guess, if you're 285 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: going to be concerned about anything, it's just the fact 286 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: that everybody seems to be This seems to be a 287 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: great pick. By almost every measure, and somehow a lot 288 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: of these these sometimes these things that seems so great 289 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: don't work up. But other than the fact that, other 290 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: than that and just fearing the worst, I don't know. 291 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: This seems like a great pick, and I get why 292 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: everybody is excited about it. To pop, I would add 293 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: to your point. You know, just think about one of 294 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the more enduring images that we have from last season 295 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: and a game winning you're in and you go to 296 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: a place where you hung forty four and won by 297 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, doubled, you know, twenty points in Cincinnati in 298 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs. What's one of the 299 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: pivotal plays of that game, Austin Eckler fourth and one. 300 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: What do they do? They try to run behind the 301 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: left side and the Raiders were just waiting for it 302 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: collapse that side. Well, when you have a two way go, 303 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: then you know, now they can And if you go 304 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: back and look at that that play, I mean they 305 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: are just stacked so heavy on that left side because 306 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: they knew it was coming there. Well, now you know, 307 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: if you feel a lot better about running that way. 308 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: They can't do that. The defense has to be more balanced. Yeah, 309 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: that's a great point, guys, take take seventeen out of 310 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: it money. We've talked about these prospects at nauseam for 311 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: the last two months. What did you make of the 312 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: first round and everything that happened, Well, you know, just 313 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: as we did. You know, I do the post for NFL, 314 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel and dot com and so I think 315 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the theme of our round one rap show was chaos 316 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: and it was just the thing that was so strange. 317 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: And I'm trying to figure out what's going on with 318 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: the NFL and wide receivers, like what how does Tennessee 319 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: decide with where they're at right now and how that 320 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: roster is constructed? The number one seed in the AFC 321 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship two years ago, and the going rate 322 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: for wide receivers is what it is, you know, I 323 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: mean that that's I'm sorry, but A J. Brown, yeahs 324 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: he does. He have some issues, sure, but I mean, 325 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: you know what the market is. I don't. I can't 326 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: figure out why that move, how that move makes sense 327 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,359 Speaker 1: for them. It just doesn't. I can't do the calculus 328 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: for that, you know, the same thing. And then in 329 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: the meantime, you know, Debos did not happy. He stays 330 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. You know, I don't. I don't. That's 331 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: the hard part to reconcile. And I think you saw 332 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: both sides of it, right, Jeff and Pop. You saw 333 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: teams trading way up to get wide receivers because they 334 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: don't want to pay guys twenty eight million bucks a 335 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: year like the Raiders did Davante Adams. And then you 336 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: see teams trading their wide receivers because they don't want 337 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: to pay them either, And it's just it's a very 338 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: weird moment in time. And what is a pass heavy 339 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: league where you feel like you need to have a 340 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: dominant receiver to make any hay to go with your 341 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: good quarterback? And you know, I think that's to me 342 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: that was sort of the centerpiece of what happened in 343 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: the first round, was the way wide receivers were traded 344 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: a before the draft, during the draft, and then where 345 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: they were drafted. Yeah, I mean, just look at what 346 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: the Lions gave up to go get a player who 347 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: might not be ready to October. I know, it's funny. 348 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: So so you know what, it's funny you mentioned that, Pop, 349 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: because for me, like it was my it was my 350 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: pick of the night. I thought it was a brilliant 351 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: move because I and I see so many people given 352 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: them incoming. They're like, look at all they gave up. 353 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, let's go through it. They gave up 354 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: thirty two to go to twelve, so they met twenty 355 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: first round spots. Incredible, what do they give up a 356 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: pick swap? So they moved from thirty four to forty 357 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: six negative fourteen and then they give up number sixty six. 358 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: Like to me, and maybe it's because I'm a huge 359 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: JMO guy, I was pining for him at seventeen. I 360 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: just think he's going to be one of those special receivers. 361 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: Like I was like, yeah, that that makes sense to me. 362 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I if you disagree, if you thought that 363 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: was a lot to give up for a guy with 364 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: an ACL, you know, it was just like to me, 365 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that that looks like good value. Yeah. No, 366 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: I was more saying like in the sense that of 367 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: what you're talking about, like the how the value of 368 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: wide result changing, Like when would you ever have seen 369 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: that previously? Like a premium pick, a top seventy pick 370 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: to go get a wide receiver with that's coming off 371 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: a torn ACL Like I know he's immensely, immensely talented, 372 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: and like he would have been a great pick for 373 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: the Charges in seventeen. I think he's gonna be awesome. 374 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: But I think it sort of it points to, you 375 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: know what you're getting at here, which is that the 376 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver market is complete mess. How happy are the 377 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Chargers they got that deal done with Mike Williams right, 378 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: or the Christian Kirk because the Christian Kirk deal came 379 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: through and it has been a complete mess since then, 380 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: complete mess money. I'm with you. I loved the Lions 381 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: going for getting Jameson Williams because there's still there's still 382 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: a couple of years away. Man, But you you pair 383 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: you hear Saint Brown and Jamison Williams. I was actually 384 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: Chef Hockinson. Don't forget like that beautiful three in your backfield, right, 385 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: you got swift in the backfield. So like I mean, 386 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: for me, the Commanders leaving eleven when they could have 387 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: had Jameson Williams or a lave. I know they picked 388 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: up an extra third, but then they go right before 389 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: the Chargers and then they it the sixth wide receiver 390 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: in this draft. I thought that was you know, listen, 391 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: I think the disaster is what that was. Yeah, I 392 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: was a disaster to be able to get Jordan Davis 393 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: or Kyle Hamilton or Jameson Williams or or Chris and 394 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: you come out with dots and look, I know, like 395 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: I know people that love him that that, but you 396 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: come out with that and like whatever it was the 397 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: third rounder I think eighty seventh pick or something like that. 398 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: I just I can't figure that out. I didn't understand that. Jeff, 399 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: what was your what was your gripe last night? I gripe. 400 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: I think I have to go with the Patriots pick. Right. 401 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: Everybody was kind of like, uh, talk about that was 402 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: literally a strange pick, right, and everybody kind of is 403 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: like what in the world. And we saw we saw 404 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: the Rams brain Trust their reaction live, so that, yeah, 405 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: that was just a classic head scratcher. And there weren't 406 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: a ton of those, I didn't think last night where 407 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: you're really like what in the world? Or were some 408 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: of the trades like you guys were talking about, But 409 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: that was the one deal, I think, you know, the 410 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: one pick where everybody was like what in God's name 411 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: was going on? So, but who knows, you know, it's 412 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, he's unwell, you know, for the most part, 413 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: draft and old lineman. He's someone who has been able 414 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: to IDENTI I remember when they said that about draft 415 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: and Logan Bankins in the first round because he was 416 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: an interior linement out of Fresno State. And then next year, 417 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, the guy is just ruining the AFC East 418 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: for a Decadeah yeah, yeah, I mean called strange is 419 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: at all pro next year then uh, everybody's eating a 420 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: little bit of crow right, and he's a good prospect 421 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: that you look at his measurables and you know the 422 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: guys he compares to Joe Thuney, you know Ali Marpett, 423 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: all these guys that are elite guards in the league. 424 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: What I'll say here is, as far as my takeaway 425 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: from the first round, the good organizations killed it last night. 426 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: Like the organizations that are always getting great value came 427 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: out of this first round with great value, like the 428 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Eagles or one team are always getting great value. They 429 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: made a ton of trades. They come out of the 430 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: first round with Jordan Davis and A. J. Brown talk 431 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: about the Ravens, right team that's always got its just 432 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: did the thing with the Ravens. It just it drives 433 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: me crazy. It never like they don't move around. It 434 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: just it just falls with Kyle Hamilton. Oh Hamilton should 435 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: not have been there. That's that's what killed me. Like, 436 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: if you're the Commanders, why would you not Kyle Hamilton 437 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: right there? Did you wanted an extra third rounder or 438 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: James Williams and Chris A. Levin? Yeah? No, the Kyle 439 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Hampton going to the Ravens just as classic bolt and 440 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: then Linderbom just falling right to bed again. You know 441 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: that is you guys all know, I mean centers have 442 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: always been weird, you know in the first Yeah, but 443 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: that guy's like that guy's a slam dunk, Like he's 444 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a great center in this league. And so 445 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: you know, they come out with Kyle Hamilton, who a 446 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: lot of people had ranked as like a top five 447 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: player in the draft, and it's like this is the 448 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: overthinking that everyone does. Right, Oh, he ran a four seven. 449 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: He can't be a good player. We'll go watch him play, 450 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: like the guys, it's a step ahead of everybody. Yeah, 451 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't need to run four four because he's three 452 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: steps ahead on every single play. And it's like just 453 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: I was, you know, slacking with my editor when it 454 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: was going down. It was like, obviously Kyle Hamilton's gonna 455 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: end up to the Ravens at fourteen, Like obviously, because 456 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: good organizations always find that value. And the other thing 457 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: is like, are the Jets going to be good? That 458 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: was impressive? Like that were good last night? And I was, 459 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, sitting with a bunch. Go ahead, Jeff, I say, 460 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, you get three picks, right, you think you're 461 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: going to do pretty well. But I was looking at 462 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: that sporting It's like, holy smokes, what a I mean 463 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: that that whole that whole franchise just turned one night 464 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: last night. I mean you think I have DJs top 465 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: nine guys. Yeah, yeah, And you just wonder like, how 466 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: how can they possibly screw this up? Now we know 467 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: it's the Jets and they probably will somebot. You look, 468 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: you look at it, and how can this go wrong? Night? 469 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Everything that comes down to Zach Wilson right, Every step 470 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: for them worked out the fact. The Texans decided to 471 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: take the chance on Stanley, so they get Sauce. Then 472 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: the Falcons want to build you know, a room full 473 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: of power forwards, so they get Garrett Wilson. And then 474 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, word is that that you know, Johnson's plead 475 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: a hole and that he just failed almost every meeting, 476 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: and it turned a lot of teams off and they 477 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: were like, who cares, he's a defensive lineman. We like 478 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: guys that are a holes. That's where that's the one 479 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: position where you need a holes. And they jump backed 480 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: in and got him at twenty six. I mean it's 481 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: like like you said, though, Jeff, and and it's there's 482 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: such a long way away, you know, in terms of 483 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: kind of where they were and where they need to go, 484 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: especially in a division with Buffalo now and you know 485 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots. You know, look they made the playoffs last year, 486 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: so it's it's still gonna be tough. You can get 487 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: excited about it. Congratulations Jets. That was your super Bowl. 488 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Enjoy it. And now, man, it's not going to be 489 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: easy in that division money Quickly, I want to ask 490 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: you about Stingley because we like we had Rick sarah 491 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: Tello and he was like, hey, listen, it's fifty fifty. 492 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: He'd go like top five or you could drop to 493 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: the second round number three. Overall, we had this Derek 494 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: Stingley dream at seventeen, like he was gonna fall like 495 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: Derwin fell four years ago. That was not the case. No, 496 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: he said when we saw the pro day, we were like, look, 497 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: that's it because either hey, he's going top five or 498 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: be he's gonna funk a bunch of medicals and you're 499 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: just gonna take a risk and hope that he's okay 500 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: because you know your doctors are like, wow, I guess 501 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: you can roll the dice if you want, because that's 502 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: the only way he makes it to seventeen. I did 503 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: you know I do the post show with Lancer Line 504 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: who's in Houston, and he said he was all over 505 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: that about a month ago that the Texans were just 506 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: beyond enamored with that guy, and uh and what they 507 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: think he could be. All right, guys, final thing, let's 508 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: just go around the horn here. Um. I don't want 509 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: to date the podcast too much, but listen to nine 510 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: more picks. What do you expect the Chargers to address 511 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: over these next two days, Jeff, Well, there's still a 512 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: lot of things, a lot of depth things they need. 513 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: I think I'll just start with a third pick in 514 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: the third round pick. I think they'll go defense, probably 515 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: after going offense. With the their first pick. So could 516 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: be a defensive lineman, could be a corner, you know, 517 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: a linebacker. But the good news is, you know, for 518 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: the Chargers is they don't there's no glaring like, oh 519 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: my god, they you know, we know what the right 520 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: tackle situation is, but beyond that, there's no it's not 521 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: like a oh boy, this is they've got it. They 522 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: got to hope they get this guy, or they got 523 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: to get a couple of these. You know, they can 524 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: kind of you know, they can kind of pick you know, 525 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: they look at their best available chart and just just 526 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: kind of fill in and try to try to get 527 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: some guys who they can they can maybe develop and 528 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: could contribute to either offense, defense or special teams pop 529 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: or maybe maybe a trade into round two. I don't 530 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: know what are you giving up for that. I don't 531 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: damn your third and your fourth, I would imagine there's 532 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: not a mind seem like, it doesn't seem likely, but 533 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think you get future pick or 534 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: the third and fourth this year, in which wouldn't align 535 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: to me with how Tom Slusky usually does business. But 536 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: I think, like seventy nine, I'm thinking Edgar Corner. Um, 537 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: you know we're talking about before we started recording, like 538 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: they need they need one more piece at corner to 539 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: really fill out this depth because they're an injury away 540 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: from Tavon Campbell, you know, starting ball games, which and 541 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: we all saw, you know how that went last year. 542 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: M Edge. They're lacking depth, and I think something that's 543 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 1: been overlooked is like you got a thirty one year 544 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: old CLO back and you've got Joey Bosa, who you 545 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: know has his concussion history and obviously has an injury 546 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: history as well as miss games, and it's like, what 547 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: do you have If one of those guys goes down, 548 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: it's Chris Rumpan. That's pretty much it. I know this time, 549 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Jamal Davis won the CFL, So it feels like they 550 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: got to find another edge rushers, and it feels like 551 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: they need they need to invest in the defense. At 552 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: seventy nine. I wouldn't rule out a tackle, but I 553 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna be defense there, and then you 554 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 1: know speed at wide receiver, running back, depth, linebacker, um, 555 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe a safety as well. You know, those are 556 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: sort of those sort of the positions that I'm looking 557 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: at over the remainder of the draft here money. Yeah, look, 558 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: I'll be specific. I don't care. I want. I want 559 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: Lucas at right tackle, I want Rodriguez at linebacker, and 560 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: I want my man Abrams Smith at running back. That's 561 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: what I want, That's what I want. Figure it out 562 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: to let's go put it together. Um. I think the 563 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: linebacker we talked about this, Chris, I think that's like 564 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: the most overlooked position because you know, Drew has obviously 565 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: had some some injury issues. I just think the defense 566 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: is so much better with him on the field than 567 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: it is without him on the field. And I know 568 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: they play a ton of nickel and a lot of dime, 569 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: And you know, I think that's kind of one of 570 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: the reasons why I brought up Malcolm Rodriguez last week 571 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: with or it was two weeks ago with Dane Is. 572 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, he just looks like the perfect fit, you know, 573 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: the the perfect fit for for what Staley does. And 574 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: I think they still need a runner, I do, you know, 575 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: I and I know, and that you know, good news 576 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,479 Speaker 1: for them. None taken in the first round, an there 577 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: could be a run here in the part of the 578 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: pun in the second round, but you know, I think 579 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: that could end up being your day three, fourth round, 580 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, sort of pick. Maybe there's somebody there at 581 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: their third round pick that someone's smitten with and they 582 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: want to jump up and grab him. Maybe the quarterbacks 583 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: slide a little bit and you can pick up a 584 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: compensatory third and an extra fourth, and that's how you 585 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: can maybe kind because to me, like that's it just 586 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: seems like that's been the theme, right is the sweet 587 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: spot of this draft has been like twenty five to 588 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: one thirty or something. You know, it's like the mid 589 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: second to the you know, the mid second to like 590 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: the mid fourth is where people say there's just even 591 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: grades on a lot of these players. So if there's 592 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: a way to add a pick in there and sacrifice 593 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: some of your back end, maybe you're something or trade 594 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: down a few spots. I'd love to see that. I 595 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a running back because we've talked 596 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: about it. I think Tom and Staley have talked about 597 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: the fact that they need to see that running back 598 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: to show out this year, and they're gonna have to 599 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: bring in somebody. It could be maybe today's we tape 600 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: this or tomorrow and then you know, Dane Money mentioned 601 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: the fact that edges is a deep position. So yeah, 602 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: if you furried the guy in the third round a 603 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: corner in the third round, maybe that's a possibility, but yeah, 604 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: it should be fun. Boys. Appreciate you guys stopping in 605 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: before we kick off Day two, Jimmy and name Popper. 606 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: Give me a name who ends up on the Chargers 607 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: over these next two days. Just give me one round. 608 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: Give me one name. Josh Josh Pascal in the third round, 609 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: edge rusher from Kentucky, Danny Gray wide receiver SMU in 610 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: the fourth round. Um, I think you go kyr and Williams. 611 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: I think you go Shod White in the fifth round 612 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: at running of course. Jeremiah Gemmil. Jeremiah Gemmil, linebacker North 613 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: Carolina is like the perfect I think linebacker, Like sixth 614 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: round guy. He's gonna fall because it doesn't have the measurables. 615 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: But like you know, team captain, you know, high football IQ, 616 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: high football character. The one thing I'll say about the 617 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: linebacker situation, I know we're going a little bit long, 618 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: but I feel like they're gonna play more five man 619 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: fronts and nickel packages this year because that's something Staley 620 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 1: did a ton of with the Rams and I went 621 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: and checked the numbers. Seventy percent of his nickel packages 622 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: he had five man fronts with only one linebacker on 623 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 1: the field. Last year with the Chargers because they had 624 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: so much depth at linebacker, yeah, only forty percent of 625 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: their nickel packages he had five man fronts, so he 626 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: was working with what he had. You add a little 627 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: bit to the defensive line, play more five man fronts, 628 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: linebacker doesn't become as much of a need. But I 629 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: still think they'll they'll take one at some point. It's funny, 630 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: but that's why I like Rod Reed. Like I we 631 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: were talking about this lap two ago, just his diagnosis, 632 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: how quick he identifies runner pass and how quickly he 633 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: identifies fits. It's it was the best I've seen. And 634 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: the only reason he's fall is because he's small. He's 635 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: a small guy, but he's just a tough, little effort man. 636 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: He's a wrestling champ and just a fire hydront of 637 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: a dude. Um And that's you know, that's what you 638 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: get when when you get into the third and fourth 639 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: and fifth round, you get Okay, So what's wrong? Why 640 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: wasn't this guy that's incredibly productive a first round pick? 641 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: And you got to figure out, Okay, what are the 642 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: things that we can afford to take a swing on 643 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: and hope get you know, we can correct with coaching, 644 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: or aren't as big of a deal as people are 645 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: making him out to be. The guy I keep hearing. 646 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: It seems like everybody's talks about this guy's naturally perfect. 647 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: Is the Notre Dame running back? Williams Aaron Williams, Right, 648 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's the one. So that that to me. 649 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean I read something like a week ago somebody 650 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: saying that this guy is the perfect Charger's exactly what 651 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: they you you know, he's exactly he has all the skills, 652 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: exactly what Joe Lambartin want to have. Loves him and 653 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: he kind of reminds me of Maurice a little bit 654 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: the way the way he's built and the way he moves. 655 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: Does the punk guy go in the third round today? Now? Um, 656 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he goes in the fourth though. 657 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: I think he goes in the fourth.
