Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Chris Harry with you on the Chargers Training
Speaker 1: Camp podcast. Day two was a rap from Coasta, Mesa
Speaker 1: and Tuesday the pads are Gonna come on at the
Speaker 1: Jackhambitt Sports Complex. Today we catch up with Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: and Brandon Mebane after practice, But first I sat down
Speaker 1: with NFL dot COM's Greg Rosenthal to get his thoughts
Speaker 1: on this Chargers team entering twenty seventeen. Mike Clicher to
Speaker 1: welcome Greg Rosenthal of NFL dot Com to the Chargers
Speaker 1: Training Camp podcasts. Greg, how you doing, buddy? I'm doing well. Fun,
Speaker 1: fun day out here. Day two. Would you would you think?
Speaker 1: You know? It's early. I wish I came tomorrow, on
Speaker 1: Tuesday or Wednesday. You know, when the full pads and
Speaker 1: when they're really hitting, you get a better field. But
Speaker 1: they they put on a show. I think the offense
Speaker 1: had a better day from the sound of it, than
Speaker 1: they did on Day one. Yeah, Philip Rivers was slinging around.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen looked to be in mid season for today.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen versus Casey Hayward. That was what I was watching,
Speaker 1: in addition to Joey Bosa because I'm writing about him,
Speaker 1: but like that is an awesome, underrated almost perfect for
Speaker 1: a pads less practice type of matchup because Keenan Allen's
Speaker 1: one of the best route runners in the league and
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward has some of the best feat So if
Speaker 1: you're just like watching them, that's what I was doing.
Speaker 1: I was watching them chop it up going against each
Speaker 1: other and like it's a blur. And Keenan Allen, just
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen him in a while, I was
Speaker 1: watching closely and he looked good. This offense with Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen coming in and we talked about this yesterday, Tyrolle,
Speaker 1: Williams Don Trew Imman got some work that they weren't
Speaker 1: necessarily going to get in twenty sixteen. How much more
Speaker 1: explosive can this offense be with Hunter Henry taking the
Speaker 1: next step, Melvin Gordon to the backfield, and then obviously
Speaker 1: healthy Keenan Allen. I think it should be one of
Speaker 1: the most explosive offenses and ball because all those guys
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned are twenty five and under. I mean,
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin is twenty seven. He's going to be a factor. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates, it says a lot to me that he's
Speaker 1: so willing to kind of move into a secondary role.
Speaker 1: That says a lot about Hunter Henry. And I talked
Speaker 1: to Melvin Gordon, not today, actually a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I think he looks at those pictures all over
Speaker 1: the facility of LT and Gates and you know, he
Speaker 1: told me he says that to melt Hunter Henry sometimes
Speaker 1: that should be us. That should be us in six
Speaker 1: or seven years. You know that that's a lot to ask,
Speaker 1: But I think Gordon and Hunter Henry can be top
Speaker 1: five in the NFL players at their position. I mean
Speaker 1: they're obviously not there yet, but I do think they
Speaker 1: have that kind of potential this fishing. When you look
Speaker 1: at this new local offensive line Russo Coon coming in,
Speaker 1: you get Dan Feeney for Slamp two with a highly
Speaker 1: touted interior alignment. In the draft, it starts up front.
Speaker 1: What do you think Melvin Gordon? I think he was
Speaker 1: at three point nine a clip, yeah last year. How
Speaker 1: can he take the next step? I know it starts
Speaker 1: up front. I thought he ran a lot better than
Speaker 1: the numbers show. First of all, he was I think
Speaker 1: fourth in the league and yards from scrimmage when he
Speaker 1: got hurt, like literally, the only people ahead of him
Speaker 1: were David Johnson, Levyon Bell, and Ezekiel Elliott, basically the
Speaker 1: top three running backs in the league. EI thought, if
Speaker 1: you watch the tape, he broke so many tackles, he
Speaker 1: made so many people miss that his yards per cary
Speaker 1: could have been much lower. I mean, he was a
Speaker 1: big playmaker. His power really impressed me. But you said it,
Speaker 1: it's the line. Yeah, it sounds great, like it looks great,
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be three four new starters and that's tough.
Speaker 1: And Tom Telesco, you know, the general manager. This is
Speaker 1: his second rebuild of the offensive line. Sometimes you don't
Speaker 1: get a second rebuilds as a general manager. And he
Speaker 1: basically rebuilt it from scratch four years ago and now
Speaker 1: he's trying it again. So you know, I'm hopeful because
Speaker 1: I like watching good offense, but you gotta see it.
Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest things to predict. I think
Speaker 1: covering the NFL is what offensive line is gonna be
Speaker 1: good year to year or sometimes you'll you'll bring a
Speaker 1: lot of people back from a pretty good offensive line
Speaker 1: and it'll fall apart too, and then the Chargers of course,
Speaker 1: they've just had just been injury prone. I talked to
Speaker 1: a former NFL scout before the draft and he was
Speaker 1: actually making the case for Forced Slamp at seventh overall,
Speaker 1: because it's like it's like, hey, if you have a knee,
Speaker 1: go get the guy you need to get, getting him
Speaker 1: in the second round. I know Mike Williams isn't practicing
Speaker 1: right now. What do you think force Slamp can do
Speaker 1: in terms of making an immediate impact as a rookie. Well,
Speaker 1: they couldn't. They couldn't run back or pass block really
Speaker 1: last year. He's got to stay healthy. But I think
Speaker 1: he can make a big time difference in the running
Speaker 1: game and then hopefully just provides stability in pass protection.
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus does a good job. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say they're perfect. I went back and lucked Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: hasn't had a season of above average pass protection, you know,
Speaker 1: ranked sixteen or better by their metrics since oh seven,
Speaker 1: so it's been a decade. He had a lot of
Speaker 1: it early in his career, had a pretty good line,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't had it. So Lamp is a huge
Speaker 1: part of that. I mean, he might be the most
Speaker 1: talented guy on the offensive line, and he's a key
Speaker 1: to their season, no doubt. You talked about Gus Bradley earlier,
Speaker 1: him coming in Bosa and Ingram. How does the personnel
Speaker 1: on this football team fit what Gus likes to do?
Speaker 1: Because you know, you also have a tandem of manna
Speaker 1: man corners or elite in this league. It's perfect because
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks fit what he does. I think really well.
Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, Gus Bradley's system kind of makes
Speaker 1: cornerbacks look even better than they are. And Casey Hayward
Speaker 1: and Verrette to me, are already you know, a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber tantum. They have been to the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: So his defense I think fits perfectly with the personnel.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a huge transition. I talked to
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram today and Joey Bosa today and I don't
Speaker 1: think they see it as that much different in terms
Speaker 1: of schematically what they're gonna do. But if you really
Speaker 1: look at especially what Seattle did, but even the way
Speaker 1: his Jaguars defense played, they play different way than than
Speaker 1: San Diego did last year. I think he coaches them
Speaker 1: to play with a lot of energy, a lot going forward.
Speaker 1: You know, if they if they're gonna have a problem,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be giving up big plays. Whereas you know,
Speaker 1: last year, I think the Chargers tried to do more
Speaker 1: and that sometimes burned them. I don't think you'll see
Speaker 1: that quite as much with the Gus Bradley defense. You
Speaker 1: kind of know what you're gonna get and and it's
Speaker 1: all about execution for them. How much does it help
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn to have a guy like Gus Bradley coming
Speaker 1: in recent head coach Ken Wizzon Hunt, former head coach
Speaker 1: you hear rave reviews of Anthony Lynn as an assistant, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you think he's going to bring to this team?
Speaker 1: And then really having those those guys who were former
Speaker 1: coaches helping him out. I think it showed a lot
Speaker 1: of maturity that he kept Ken Wizzen Hunt, that he
Speaker 1: brought in Gus Bradley. It was one of the best
Speaker 1: moves Mike Tomlin ever made when he was hired in
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to retain dick Lebau. Even though he might run
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different type of defense than
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin did, he knew what dick lebou did was
Speaker 1: effective and worked with their personnel and in the same way.
Speaker 1: I think Lynn almost showed the confidence to keep Ken
Speaker 1: wizzen Hunt here, even though you know some of the
Speaker 1: run scheme is a little different than what Anthony Lynn
Speaker 1: has done. I think the passing game is really where
Speaker 1: keeping wizzen Hunt is gonna pay huge dividends. And I
Speaker 1: think to me, it's telling to get two former head
Speaker 1: coaches on your staff when you're a guy like Anthony Lynn.
Speaker 1: That tells me he's comfortable on his own skin. He
Speaker 1: just wants to have the best staff. Possibly he knows
Speaker 1: that he's going to be learning things as he goes,
Speaker 1: and he's not necessarily threatened and paranoid like a lot
Speaker 1: of first time head coaches are. Frankly, it just comes
Speaker 1: down to winning, right, You just want to win. You
Speaker 1: look at this AFC, not just act. AFC West is
Speaker 1: loaded right with the Chiefs and the Raiders and the
Speaker 1: Broncos forecasting the AFC. What do you see in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: We always have some surprise teams that we're not talking
Speaker 1: about right now that that kind of stuff up, you know,
Speaker 1: the teams that are probably in a rebuilding phase. Your
Speaker 1: overall thoughts on the AFC this year A couple thoughts. One,
Speaker 1: the FC West the best division in football, I believe,
Speaker 1: and it's the most interesting division. It's the only division
Speaker 1: where I could see any one of those teams playing
Speaker 1: on conference Championship Sunday, and it wouldn't surprise me. I
Speaker 1: think they're all talented enough. The Chiefs are the team
Speaker 1: that I feel like punch above their weight, but at
Speaker 1: this point I trust them. So the Chargers would be
Speaker 1: one of those surprise teams, and I think you look
Speaker 1: at the rest of the AFC. I like the Titans.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a surprise or not anymore.
Speaker 1: I love what they did in terms of their toughness
Speaker 1: upfront last year in the running game, and now I
Speaker 1: think you add a lot of weapons to the offense.
Speaker 1: You have Dick lebo who I just mentioned there. I
Speaker 1: think the Titans could be a team that are in
Speaker 1: the mix. And then another team not a lot of
Speaker 1: people are talking about the Bengals, and I still think
Speaker 1: if you really look at their just top tier talent,
Speaker 1: and this is kind of like the Chargers if you
Speaker 1: look like at different position groups. Okay, do they have
Speaker 1: a difference maker there, yes, Joe Mixon. Do they have
Speaker 1: a solid quarterback. Yes, I think Andy Dalton. He's not
Speaker 1: in Philip Rivers class, but he's good enough to get
Speaker 1: you there. They have different speakers at wide receiver, at
Speaker 1: tight end. They have a deep secondary. I think they
Speaker 1: have that roster that people forget about. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: be so good, and it wouldn't surprise me if they're
Speaker 1: right back there at the top of the AFC. North
Speaker 1: being a big time fact. I think people are looking
Speaker 1: at that offensive line right. You lose Whitworth and you
Speaker 1: lose Zieler. That's the only question mark I have. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's your count of that. It's a huge question mark.
Speaker 1: But I've trusted this staff in Cincinnati to develop players.
Speaker 1: They do a really good job of drafting players kind
Speaker 1: of like Seattle used to or still does, and don't
Speaker 1: play them for a year or two, and when they
Speaker 1: come in the lineup they play well. Now, Fisher and
Speaker 1: Abu abu Ya, the little time they played hasn't been impressive,
Speaker 1: So that's a rent. That's a worry if you're a
Speaker 1: Bengals fan. But this is a staff that's coached up
Speaker 1: their player as well. I think teaching is such an
Speaker 1: underrated skill in the NFL like your ability to truly
Speaker 1: teach your players. Gus Bradley is a guy who's known
Speaker 1: for that, and I think the Bengals staff and Marvin
Speaker 1: Lewis always does a good job with that. You work
Speaker 1: out of Culver City, and we have two teams now
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. The Charge can played Stubhope Center. How
Speaker 1: cool is it going to be to have thirty thousand fans.
Speaker 1: It's going to like a soccer gate. I think I'm
Speaker 1: excited because I'm excited about the roster, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: because it's different. Like I was there at the last
Speaker 1: Chargers game, and I think Chargers fans have been unfairly maligned,
Speaker 1: perhaps nationally, in terms of their loyalty. Those are some
Speaker 1: real hardcore fans. Some of them are coming with the team,
Speaker 1: some of them will not. But the ones I talked
Speaker 1: to today, I thought it was a great sign. What
Speaker 1: great crowds they've had the last couple of days. Frankly,
Speaker 1: it's a little different than the Rams I think received
Speaker 1: right off the bat a year ago, so that stadium
Speaker 1: I think could be an advantage. It's all, it's all
Speaker 1: to be seen. We've never seen the NFL at this
Speaker 1: popularity in a stadium that's small. But I think if
Speaker 1: you get them going and this is a fun team,
Speaker 1: I mean that that's the biggest factors. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: scoring points. They're gonna have offensive players, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an up and down game. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest difference in terms of getting new
Speaker 1: eyeballs in LA is that just like forget even going
Speaker 1: to the game, just on the couch. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: a fun team to watch on Sundays. Absolutely get you
Speaker 1: out of here on this Greig. The ceiling for this
Speaker 1: Chargers team in twenty seventeen is what ceilings a super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy ceilings winning the title. Crazier
Speaker 1: teams have won a title than the Chargers. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be picking them to make the playoffs, and I just think,
Speaker 1: like I said, I think they have difference makers at
Speaker 1: every level. We talked about the pass rushers. I think
Speaker 1: the linebacker group's deep. I think the cornerbacks are among
Speaker 1: the best throughout the roster. They kind of have answers.
Speaker 1: The offensive line is a huge question mark, but I've
Speaker 1: seen much crazier teams and less talented teams than the
Speaker 1: Chargers have a surprise twelve and four season or make
Speaker 1: a run in the playoffs, and if they get to
Speaker 1: that point where they are See West winners and they
Speaker 1: have home playoff games, then the super Bowl is the ceiling.
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy to say it's not the Sea.
Speaker 1: I would say that about twelve fourteen teams should be honest,
Speaker 1: but they are one of those teams that I think
Speaker 1: is gonna be playing in January. It's gonna be fun
Speaker 1: to watch. He's Greg Rosenthal. You could follow him on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Greg Rosenthal. Appreciate time, man, Thank you, thanks
Speaker 1: so much. Day two is in the books here at
Speaker 1: Chargers training. Can't please be joined by a Hunter? Henry Hunter.
Speaker 1: How you doing, buddy, I'm doing good, doing great? How
Speaker 1: was day two good? It was fun? Great weather, I
Speaker 1: hear um. You know, still a great turnout today. So
Speaker 1: it's thinking all the fans that came out today, and
Speaker 1: it was good to get our last day without pads on.
Speaker 1: Philip was slinging around today. How great is it to
Speaker 1: have a full compliment of weapons for you and your
Speaker 1: third in your second year, Rother Awesome? I mean it's
Speaker 1: unrealized they can't key in on one guy. That's that's
Speaker 1: what our goal is, to be a complete offense. But
Speaker 1: we have a long way to go. We all know that,
Speaker 1: and we want to work every single day to improve
Speaker 1: ourselves and improve kind of a whole offense so that
Speaker 1: we can, you know, the first game, we'll be able
Speaker 1: to go out there and really execute and be our best.
Speaker 1: Day one, it was it's almost like the first day
Speaker 1: of school, right you guys, you don't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: You have five thousand fans here. Now that it's day two.
Speaker 1: You got putting on the pads tomorrow. But do you
Speaker 1: feel like you get you're kind of in training Cambo
Speaker 1: now getting getting the swing of everything. Yeah, it's uh,
Speaker 1: you're kind of getting the swing of it. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: you get the schedule down, you get the meetings down,
Speaker 1: you get everything down. So you just gotta getting the
Speaker 1: comfortable you know, you get comfortable out here, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's just football. It's it's what you've been doing since
Speaker 1: you were a little So, um, just go out there
Speaker 1: and have fun. Get eight touchdowns last year and limited snaps.
Speaker 1: How great is it for you to have a quarterback
Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers and a guy like Cantoonio Gates to
Speaker 1: Leino in your second year. Awesome, they're they're both unbelievable guys.
Speaker 1: I got nothing but good things to say about all
Speaker 1: both of them. Um, they're both gonna be in my opinion,
Speaker 1: you know, Hall of Famers. Um So, it's just it's
Speaker 1: a blessing to be able to come out, come in
Speaker 1: every single day, get to sit in a room with Philip,
Speaker 1: you know, in the whole offense and talk to them
Speaker 1: about the things, talk to him about football and just
Speaker 1: pick up things for him. And then also Antonio, other
Speaker 1: guy wh plays him a position. I gotta sit in
Speaker 1: a room with him and do everything with him. So
Speaker 1: pretty special. Uh, he's a special human, he's a special player.
Speaker 1: So fun. What did you work on this offseason in
Speaker 1: an effort to kind of take your game to the
Speaker 1: next step? Here in year two, you know, the game
Speaker 1: starts to slow down just a tad And for me,
Speaker 1: I think it was being patient with a lot of things,
Speaker 1: um routes and just really watching guys and trying to
Speaker 1: pick up on different things that they do that I
Speaker 1: can implement into my game. Um So it's it's it's
Speaker 1: cool just to be able to have a whole season
Speaker 1: behind me, know what's coming. Um. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of routes, a lot of I mean, I gotta work
Speaker 1: on everything in my game, so um, in between the
Speaker 1: years and then manly routes and trying to set guys
Speaker 1: up and different things like that. Coach Lynn, how's he
Speaker 1: been during Gota's and training camp and just kind of
Speaker 1: kind of resetting the mentality of this football team. I
Speaker 1: think everybody loves him, um, but I think everybody has
Speaker 1: a respect for him. Um. You know, he's he's a
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna take care of you when when you
Speaker 1: need it, but also he's gonna get on you when
Speaker 1: you need it too. So that's where we need here,
Speaker 1: That's where we need the accountability, that kind of par
Speaker 1: knows guy, because that's what kind of tam we want
Speaker 1: to be. To win a championship. You know, you have
Speaker 1: to be tough, you have to be physical, you have
Speaker 1: to be physically and mentally tough. So, um, you know,
Speaker 1: you got through a lot in a sixteen sixteen game
Speaker 1: season and hopefully you know, a nineteen game season or
Speaker 1: however long how many games it takes to get to
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, so you know, there's a lot of adversity.
Speaker 1: You gotta be a lot of tough guys. So it's
Speaker 1: good to have him as a leader. And then Gus
Speaker 1: Bradley coming in going up against that defense on a
Speaker 1: daily basis. I know it's only day two, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure you guys have already seen the imprint that Gus
Speaker 1: is going to bring defensively. H he brings great energy, UM,
Speaker 1: a lot of fun around the building. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a positive, positive guy. So and it's you know, you
Speaker 1: can see the success. I mean, the proof is in
Speaker 1: the pudding of everything that he's done with Seattle, with Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: turning that thing around. So we're excited. Um, it's fun
Speaker 1: to be able to compete against the defense like that
Speaker 1: every day. Awesome. Day three, we'll see what happens in
Speaker 1: bomb sounds good? Could you want to be Boddy tanking?
Speaker 1: You all right here with Brandon Mebane and Brandon Day
Speaker 1: two of training camp. How did it go? Man? I
Speaker 1: wentn't real well, real well? Man, I felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball came out and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: perfect the craft. Real well, I felt like we still
Speaker 1: got ways to go as far as like where we
Speaker 1: want to be. You know, our goals and we want
Speaker 1: to be champions and m you know, in order to
Speaker 1: be champions, we have to keep out, come out and
Speaker 1: do the same thing we did today every day, being consistent.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't hurt playing against this offense on the
Speaker 1: daily basis. Oh no, no no, no, this is one of
Speaker 1: the best officers in the NFL. Man. Uh, just seeing
Speaker 1: our office, the line, uh, you know, field, the receivers,
Speaker 1: you know, run all the running backs. We got man
Speaker 1: so much talent, man, and the receivers um tight ends. Man,
Speaker 1: it's you got a special group over there, and we
Speaker 1: want to match that and our jobs. Come out, man,
Speaker 1: try to you know, we want to we want to
Speaker 1: win every play and they want to win every play too,
Speaker 1: So that right there is gonna make us better. Philip
Speaker 1: was slinging around today, keenan don't looked like he was
Speaker 1: in mid season four him and then you go up
Speaker 1: against this new local offensive line. How how how those
Speaker 1: guys looked going up against them. I know it's only
Speaker 1: two days in, but right I think they I think
Speaker 1: that I think they're a special group, man. I think
Speaker 1: they you know, they come into their own. They got
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, great running back, they got a great
Speaker 1: supporting cast man. So all they gotta do, man, just
Speaker 1: just play like they've been doing. And I feel like
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a successful group. Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, rushing,
Speaker 1: the rushing, the quarterback. Can these guys turned up in
Speaker 1: year two here together? I think so? Man, Um, I
Speaker 1: think you know they everybody has room to get better.
Speaker 1: And even even my man Denzel right there, Man, we
Speaker 1: got Denzel Perryman here too. Breeze Denzel, Denzel Man. Hey,
Speaker 1: he won the hardest hit in the NFL. Man, I
Speaker 1: tell them, hey, man, go hit me, you don't hit me.
Speaker 1: We're good. But now, um, it's a lot a lot
Speaker 1: of competition out here, which is good. It's really it's
Speaker 1: real good. And then Gus Bradley, you played for him
Speaker 1: in Seattle. What is he brought early? A lot of
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of just positive energy and just
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement on that defensive sell. But it's
Speaker 1: definitely a lot of excitements and it's definitely a lot
Speaker 1: of things to hit put up there to try to
Speaker 1: encourage us, you know, try to push us to be better.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, show us, show us something you know
Speaker 1: on we can get better on. And then he had
Speaker 1: show us something that, um, we haven't, we haven't proved
Speaker 1: on us. So he build us up. You know, he
Speaker 1: build us all up so we can be the best
Speaker 1: in our position and in the field. And you know
Speaker 1: we're trying to hone in on our craft. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a positive, positive speaker. Um, he always bring the
Speaker 1: same energy. Never seen him have a down day. Even
Speaker 1: though even if we didn't have the greatest day, he
Speaker 1: think we should have had. You know, we're always still like, hey,
Speaker 1: we can get better. Always positive. I was talking to
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry earlier and really yesterday was kind of like
Speaker 1: the first day of school for everybody. He didn't know
Speaker 1: what to expect. You of over five thousand fans here.
Speaker 1: Now now that you are getting into day three tomorrow,
Speaker 1: the pads are coming on. You guys kind of locked
Speaker 1: in and training camp mode. I know, there was a
Speaker 1: lot of excitement day one. Yeah, yeah, we were locked
Speaker 1: in training camp mode on the first day. Um, we're
Speaker 1: just excited to come out here and you know, compete
Speaker 1: against each other and you know, we're just having fun man.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it kind of felt like we had pads
Speaker 1: on already really the way the way we've been practicing,
Speaker 1: not you know, not that we're taking each other down
Speaker 1: to the ground now, you know, but you know, when
Speaker 1: you're offensive defensive line, you know, it ain't it ain't
Speaker 1: too much of difference. You're gonna really get, you know,
Speaker 1: a little bit more hidden double teams and stuff. But
Speaker 1: it's all good. It's part of the game. You guys
Speaker 1: champed at the bit to get to get the pads
Speaker 1: on the wall. I'm sure everybody's really were excited about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited, but you know, I ain't anxious. You know, sure,
Speaker 1: I'm not not anxious. You're a vet. It's gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna come. When it comes, it's gonna come. So well,
Speaker 1: I'm not anxious. You look at the AFC West with
Speaker 1: two Raiders and Chiefs and Broncos. You guys had some
Speaker 1: bad luck with injuries last year. What do you foresee
Speaker 1: with this team, a healthy Chargers team in twenty seventeen. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be AFC champs, AFOC West champs. You know,
Speaker 1: we take our division. We take our division. One game
Speaker 1: at the time. I believe We're gonna be a FFC champs.
Speaker 1: We got the talent, we got the coaching staff, we
Speaker 1: got all everything that two to be champs. It's a
Speaker 1: nice way and bred absolutely thank you. Okay, that's gonna
Speaker 1: do it. For today's Chargers Branding Camp podcast, a big
