Speaker 1: Its lead fifteen to ten. Touched up sucks.
Speaker 2: What's up? Guys? Welcome into a mid July edition of
Speaker 2: Chargers Weekly, as always, joined by Matt money Smith counting
Speaker 2: down the days till we get to see you guys
Speaker 2: in jack Him at Sports Complex less than two weeks. Money,
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: Man, most definitely. I'm very excited. We said it last
Speaker 1: week and we're a week closer. So July twenty sixth,
Speaker 1: day one, that's a Wednesday, July twenty ninth is the
Speaker 1: back Together Again celebration on Saturday. Of course, we get
Speaker 1: the joint practices being awful lot of fun with Derek
Speaker 1: Carr back out there, New Orleans Saints. The Saints fan's
Speaker 1: always come out. It's kind of been a bit of
Speaker 1: a I guess the last couple of years. It's it's
Speaker 1: shifted a little bit with the Cowboys and the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, but it's always good to have the Saints
Speaker 1: back out there. Maybe Drew Brees come back up, hang out.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get Philip Rivers to hop a plane
Speaker 1: and come back out and redo the quarterback competition those
Speaker 1: two guys used to have. When the joint practices.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be weird seeing Derek Carr actually at a
Speaker 2: training camp practice. No, I mean this was a fierce
Speaker 2: rival for several years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Joey and Derek and a joint practice
Speaker 1: should be quite entertaining. And I'm sure he'll have some
Speaker 1: sort of what he believes his deep thought about the
Speaker 1: prior rivalry and how he's moved on and he looks
Speaker 1: back fondly upon those engagements with the Chargers and something
Speaker 1: stupid like that. So I'm just looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: You're already transcribing the press.
Speaker 1: Competens seen it a mile away every time we come
Speaker 1: down to LA with his dumb accent. I have no
Speaker 1: idea where he got it from. Just so many Raider
Speaker 1: fans down here, they walk around town, you see him,
Speaker 1: they just tell you how much it means to them.
Speaker 1: It just means so much to me to mean so
Speaker 1: much to them, you know, And that's what this is
Speaker 1: all about.
Speaker 2: Shut up, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: Hey, he's already doing it in New Orleans too. That stuff.
Speaker 1: People are like, oh, he lives rent free in your head,
Speaker 1: No he doesn't. I just enjoyed it brings me joy
Speaker 1: to see the stupidity of his quotes as he tries
Speaker 1: to assess the state of fandom surrounding the team for
Speaker 1: which he plays.
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna do the podcast live. I mean, what
Speaker 2: if we got him to sit down with us?
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know the last time he did an
Speaker 1: interview with us on Petro some Money, he got really upset.
Speaker 1: I felt bad because the agent called Tim Kates and
Speaker 1: kind of got after Kate's our producer a little bit
Speaker 1: because I asked him about throwing the ball away on
Speaker 1: fourth down. It's like, I got to ask you throwing
Speaker 1: the ball away on fourth down twice? How does that happen?
Speaker 1: And he got really upset. I don't remember the plays
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I was like, well I do. I
Speaker 1: can go through him if you want, And he got
Speaker 1: really pissed. So yeah, I'm happy to have him to
Speaker 1: sit down. I have no problem with it whatsoever.
Speaker 2: We'll see if we can arrange it.
Speaker 1: I'll make it uncomfortable for you, Chris. I'll make it
Speaker 1: real uncomfortable for you. I enjoy it. There's nothing I
Speaker 1: like better.
Speaker 2: You know, you know it would be great is if
Speaker 2: you're you're literally get your notepad out alongside Popper and
Speaker 2: Miller and Lindsay and and and you and you're just
Speaker 2: documenting each incompletion, and then we have a little chat
Speaker 2: out towards about it.
Speaker 1: Let's go through these. Walk me throwing the ball away
Speaker 1: on fourth down? You got a fourth and goal and
Speaker 1: you throw it into the dirt. Kind of walk me
Speaker 1: through that process. Of course, meanwhile, I would take a
Speaker 1: snap and just immediately throw the ball into the ground
Speaker 1: and run the opposite way. For fear or death. What
Speaker 1: was coming in my direction when those guys are coming
Speaker 1: at me.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, the Derek Carr conversations that I segue into
Speaker 2: the division and that's what we're gonna dig in today.
Speaker 2: On It's for Chargers fans. You know, you're not gonna
Speaker 2: like some of these stats, but I think if you,
Speaker 2: if you look at the silver lining of what's happened
Speaker 2: over the last few years. But justin Herbert, especially justin
Speaker 2: Herbert versus Patrick Mahomes, I think they're a little bit
Speaker 2: closer to the Chiefs than you may realize. The Chiefs
Speaker 2: obviously will really dive into them, but money, it's the
Speaker 2: other teams in the division. I want to start with
Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Raiders since two The Chargers haven't
Speaker 2: won the division in thirteen seasons. They have won the
Speaker 2: division since two thousand and nine. So I looked at
Speaker 2: just their records against both the Broncos and the Raiders
Speaker 2: over that time. They're thirteen and thirteen against the Raiders.
Speaker 2: They're ten and sixteen against the Broncos. They're nine and
Speaker 2: seventeen against the Chiefs. We'll get into that later, but
Speaker 2: the Raiders and Broncos teams, they've had better teams too
Speaker 2: in seasons where they've kind of stubbed their toe in
Speaker 2: Denver or in Vegas or the Raiders coming to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: And that's the kind of the first step. And if
Speaker 2: you ever want to win this division, yes, the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: but you can't stub your toe against teams you're better than.
Speaker 2: And it really starts Week four against the Raiders in
Speaker 2: your place. And I guess we can begin with the Raiders.
Speaker 2: What they did last year with Josh McDaniels in his
Speaker 2: first year, what they've brought on obviously, Jimmy Garoppolo in
Speaker 2: Derek carr out, they brought in Jacoby Myers, they got
Speaker 2: another edge rusher to put it on the other side.
Speaker 2: Of Max Crosby. I still think they're the fourth best
Speaker 2: team in the division as we see here today. But
Speaker 2: the Chargers and Raiders, like I said, thirteen and thirteen
Speaker 2: is probably what you expect over the last thirteen seasons.
Speaker 1: It's you said it best stub their toe. They're better teams.
Speaker 1: They've been the better team in the matchups with the
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Broncos. Now. Granted that the Broncos defense
Speaker 1: was an absolute juggernaut last year, and I think it
Speaker 1: proved that's why those games were so boring and why
Speaker 1: so many people complained about watching the Broncos in primetime
Speaker 1: over and over again, because their defense was so good
Speaker 1: to shut down the opponent and their offense was so
Speaker 1: bad that they didn't score any points either. So it
Speaker 1: just became this very not strange, but just this tight
Speaker 1: game that had very little points because their offense was
Speaker 1: an e f but their defense was exceptional. So it's
Speaker 1: understandable the split with the Broncos because the defense has
Speaker 1: been that good when it was Von Miller and Bradley Chubb,
Speaker 1: and you think about the no fly zone that was
Speaker 1: still sort of there for a little bit with that
Speaker 1: back end, and how good it was, and how good
Speaker 1: they've been. And look, this is this is an exercise
Speaker 1: in observing how teams choose to construct themselves through the draft.
Speaker 1: The Broncos have repeatedly invested in their secondary, repeatedly invested
Speaker 1: in their defensive line, so it's understandable that it's going
Speaker 1: to be a really good unit. And of course they've
Speaker 1: hit the jackpot on a couple of those later round picks.
Speaker 1: You know, just the pairing of Jackson and Simmons has
Speaker 1: been the best safety duo in the league for probably
Speaker 1: the last five years. So when you've got all that,
Speaker 1: it's understandable you're going to be in tight games and
Speaker 1: then it comes down to who's going to execute in
Speaker 1: the final seven and a half minutes of the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and get out of here with a victory. And
Speaker 1: even you just go back to last year, you think
Speaker 1: about that win at so Far and it was a
Speaker 1: pretty gnarly game. The Chargers were down sixteen to thirteen
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, had to get that game time
Speaker 1: field goal, and of course we know it was a
Speaker 1: back and forth affair and overtime until you had the
Speaker 1: great rookie you play from Dean Leonard and Josser Taylor
Speaker 1: to get the turnover in the Dustin Hopkins field goal
Speaker 1: to get the win. But like we're if we're starting,
Speaker 1: are we starting with the Broncos? Are we starting with
Speaker 1: the Raiders? We're starting with the Raiders. Sorry, Raiders. So
Speaker 1: I've gone down that whole thing, so just put a
Speaker 1: pin in that. I don't know how I got there,
Speaker 1: my great apologies, But with the Raiders, the one thing
Speaker 1: that stood out to me looking at the games last year,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to go too far back, just
Speaker 1: because it's a new coaching regime, it's new players, a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, you know what I mean. So if we
Speaker 1: just look at last year, the Chargers couldn't run the ball,
Speaker 1: and that was the case in a lot of the games.
Speaker 1: But you go to each of these games against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: In the one they won where they were up ten
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter, like there, Austin Eckler ran
Speaker 1: fourteen times for thirty six yards. As a team, they
Speaker 1: ran thirty one times for seventy six yards, and like
Speaker 1: that's that's how you go up fourteen and you find
Speaker 1: yourself in a bit of a tight game in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter because you can't run the ball. And then Chris,
Speaker 1: you go to the second one and it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: You know, the Chargers could not run the ball. It's
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler ten carries for thirty five yards and as
Speaker 1: a team twenty two for seventy two, while the Raiders
Speaker 1: go twenty nine for one point fifty four. Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: goes crazy for one forty four and a tug and
Speaker 1: they lose twenty seven to twenty. Like against the Raiders,
Speaker 1: they gotta be able to run a ball. That's that's
Speaker 1: what has to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, I go to that game in Vegas. They started
Speaker 2: it with a pick six for Bryce Callahan, so they
Speaker 2: scored on defense to start the game. They couldn't stop
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs. They couldn't stop Devonte Adams. I think there
Speaker 2: was a flea flicker in that game. He had two touchdowns,
Speaker 2: one for forty five yards the other one for thirty
Speaker 2: one yards. And you know, the offense couldn't score period
Speaker 2: like Keenan Allen scored in the fourth quarter. So you know,
Speaker 2: these are the games that I see and I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: this team is so freaking talented. You can't lose those games.
Speaker 2: You can't lose. You know, if we're kind of gonna
Speaker 2: build like the path to winning the AFC West, especially
Speaker 2: this year against this Raiders team, you know, we should
Speaker 2: kind of look forward a little bit. Because Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 2: is now the quarterback. I think his health has been
Speaker 2: in question. There's been some talk about his foot and
Speaker 2: if he's gonna be ready. I mean, they don't really
Speaker 2: have much of a backup option. They got a rookie
Speaker 2: and they got Brian Hoyer, so they're really putting all
Speaker 2: the chips in the middle of the table for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 2: No Darren Waller this year, you bring in Michael Maher
Speaker 2: who we talked about during the draft. We'd like a lot,
Speaker 2: but Darren Waller. Yeah, Hey Darren Waller.
Speaker 1: So that's that's a win because now you can cut
Speaker 1: Drwin loose. Before Derwin would treat Darren Waller a lot
Speaker 1: like Travis Kelcey, where it was, hey, hey, let's just
Speaker 1: let's let's eliminate this problem. Let's put Drwin on Darren
Speaker 1: and eliminate that and then let's figure the rest out.
Speaker 1: That was sort of Brandon Staley's approaching. It would work,
Speaker 1: you know, Darren Waller did not have very good games
Speaker 1: when Derwin was out there. Remember Darren Waller wasn't out
Speaker 1: there last year, and then we saw Derwin on Devonte
Speaker 1: Adams a little bit in that week one, and and
Speaker 1: so when you have when you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about that, that's going to be a big win for
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense and being able to use Derwin all
Speaker 1: over the place now as opposed to just locking up
Speaker 1: for the most part, Waller, it's it's week four, you
Speaker 1: mentioned it, so I think Josh Jacobs should be back
Speaker 1: by then, but it's sounds like he is. He is not. Look,
Speaker 1: he is not gonna play. That's kind of what at
Speaker 1: least his camp is intimating right now is he does
Speaker 1: not want to play on the franchise tag that it
Speaker 1: appears as though the Raiders are not interested in him
Speaker 1: long term as they continue their roster turnover with this
Speaker 1: new regime. And I don't blame him. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it's ten million bucks. It's kind of hard to walk
Speaker 1: away from that. But because he hasn't signed it yet.
Speaker 2: Does he not trading?
Speaker 1: He doesn't get traded. I don't know if you would
Speaker 1: have it would be a very unique situation. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not trading to pay a guy ten million bucks
Speaker 1: for one year of service because you're probably not signing
Speaker 1: a long term either, you know, for what he's looking for.
Speaker 1: So it's it's just one of those. Is there a
Speaker 1: team that feels like they're running back away and they've
Speaker 1: got some cap space, so they'll give him ten million bucks?
Speaker 1: But I don't see that, So that's that's what's got
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what to make of this
Speaker 1: Raider team. I liked their draft. I obviously we love
Speaker 1: Max Crosby. We know what he does every time the
Speaker 1: Chargers face him. I mean, he is a wrecking machine
Speaker 1: and be nice to have her Shaun Slater back out
Speaker 1: there to help with that issue. But I don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't quite know as I'm looking at their You
Speaker 1: bring in Jakobe Myers, but you get rid of of
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. It's just Hunter renfro still a great third
Speaker 1: down receiver. They did nothing on the offensive line. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I like Michael Mayer, I love Tyree Wilson.
Speaker 1: The idea of him opposite Max Crosby could be a
Speaker 1: real headache. He's a hell of a pass Rusher, even
Speaker 1: though he went to Texas Tech, where they don't believe
Speaker 1: in defense. But like that's you know, I like those movies.
Speaker 1: I just they didn't. That's the other thing, Chris, Like
Speaker 1: you think back to the first game and how dominant
Speaker 1: they were against what's a pretty leaky offensive line, not
Speaker 1: a great offensive line, and then you go to that
Speaker 1: game they lost in Las Vegas and they they didn't
Speaker 1: get anything going like they could now there was no
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, but still like Khalil Mack had three sacks
Speaker 1: in that first game, and then you go to the
Speaker 1: you go to that second game and there's no sacks.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr throws for two fifty You mentioned the flea flicker,
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, and we threw the pick six
Speaker 1: to Callahan. So there's hurries and there's hits and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And we know Derek Carr gets all flustered
Speaker 1: in the pocket and starts acting crazy when there's pressure.
Speaker 1: But at the same it was just a very strange.
Speaker 1: That game was very strange. And it goes back to
Speaker 1: that Week eighteen game two years ago and just how
Speaker 1: strange that game was that they just couldn't because like
Speaker 1: in that game. I'm looking at the box score right now.
Speaker 1: Herbert throws for three hundred and thirty five yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but he gets sacked five times. Like there
Speaker 1: was just it was really hard to connect sort of
Speaker 1: why it was such a disjointed, strange game that they
Speaker 1: ended up losing. And remember after that, I remember walking
Speaker 1: out of Las Vegas going, man, that might be the
Speaker 1: one that that might be the game that prevents them
Speaker 1: from making the playoffs. They dropped the six and six.
Speaker 1: It was. That was a rough one. So you're right,
Speaker 1: those the way these teams are, particularly the Raiders, look
Speaker 1: as though they are continuing to kind of recycle and
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. That's that's a team
Speaker 1: they need to sweep this year. That's a team they
Speaker 1: need to sweep in the division.
Speaker 2: Justin got beat up that game. Man, You're right, he
Speaker 2: was sacked five times. I remember, I remember after that
Speaker 2: game talking to some of the guys, and I know
Speaker 2: that I think it may have been Joshua Kelly specifically.
Speaker 2: He said, we got to take better care of our quarterback.
Speaker 2: We got to take better care of our quarterback. And
Speaker 2: you mentioned Rashaun Slater, Joey Bose and Mishawn said, we're
Speaker 2: not in that football game. Those guys make a big difference.
Speaker 2: The Raiders to me seem to They just hang around.
Speaker 2: And again this is this is a part of being
Speaker 2: in a division, right. The worst teams in a division
Speaker 2: see you twice a year. They know your tendencies, they
Speaker 2: know what you're all about. Those games are pretty close.
Speaker 2: But if the charts want to get over the hump,
Speaker 2: right week four, it starts there because four of your
Speaker 2: last five games are AFC West games, so you almost
Speaker 2: have like a money You almost have like a ten
Speaker 2: or eleven game like season to prepare for winning the division.
Speaker 2: But Week four is it comes pretty early, after some
Speaker 2: pretty tough tests early against Miami and Tennessee in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: But I think it'd be good. Get that Kellen Moore
Speaker 2: offense rolling a little bit in those first three games,
Speaker 2: and then see the Vegas Raiders week four and hopefully
Speaker 2: take care of business.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're worth two. You know they're worth two, and
Speaker 1: I knew it. Sorry, I was distracted and looking at
Speaker 1: my computer. You were talking about taking better care of
Speaker 1: Herbert in that game. There was no Trey Pipkins, so
Speaker 1: you had Foster Serril Surrell at the tackle and you're
Speaker 1: talking about six pressures, four hurries, a hit and a
Speaker 1: sack that he allowed. Saw youre obviously had to contend
Speaker 1: with Max Crosby. He's got five pressures, three hurries, a
Speaker 1: hit and a sack. Matt Feiler, who had we talked
Speaker 1: about it, just a rough year all around. I was
Speaker 1: watching it some of the I was watching some rushing.
Speaker 1: I was actually doing quite a bit of film over
Speaker 1: the course of the week. And man, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that the slide from Matt Feiler from two years ago
Speaker 1: to last year was was pretty dramatic. And you just
Speaker 1: watched that side and there's a real we say it,
Speaker 1: there's a reason why you can't run the ball. It's
Speaker 1: not just because Austin ecklerg or Joshua Kelly can't run.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were just guys. They were turnstiles. They
Speaker 1: were in the backfield like it was nothing. And you
Speaker 1: watched the Jacksonville game, the second half of the Jacksonville game,
Speaker 1: and every single time they tried to run the ball,
Speaker 1: there's just nothing doing. It didn't matter if they had
Speaker 1: seven guys at the line of scrimmage A four they
Speaker 1: were just in the backfield, immediately shutting that thing down.
Speaker 1: But just kind of to your point about you know
Speaker 1: the division games there worth two. You know they're worth two.
Speaker 1: Those because the easiest way to punch your ticket to
Speaker 1: the tournaments to win the division. So and that's your
Speaker 1: number one tiebreaker. If you end up with the same
Speaker 1: record as the Chiefs and you split with them in
Speaker 1: the regular season, well then the next thing that comes
Speaker 1: up is what's your record in the division, So better sweep.
Speaker 1: You know, if you can sweep both the Raiders and
Speaker 1: the Broncos, that then gives you that tiebreaker over the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And that's something to think about if you're able to
Speaker 1: split with them and it comes down to both of
Speaker 1: you being eleven and six or ten and seven, or
Speaker 1: twelve and five, whatever it may be.
Speaker 2: You know, the one thing about the Raiders will say is,
Speaker 2: you know, the games aren't played on paper. I would
Speaker 2: say on paper right now, I would probably peg them
Speaker 2: as the fourth team in the AFC West. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: they pack a pass rush. They pack a pass rush,
Speaker 2: and if I'm not mistaken, I think Channel and Jones
Speaker 2: came alive that game against the Chargers, and he was
Speaker 2: pretty quiet for a majority of the year, but he
Speaker 2: came alive, certainly against the Chargers. He had Wilson, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, but still like, just like this, this this
Speaker 2: trio of Wilson, Crosby and Jones down. Did you watch
Speaker 2: the any of that quarterback documentary yet?
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet, so I need to.
Speaker 2: I watched the first I watched the first episode last
Speaker 2: night and Max Crosby was freaking all over Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: and I think it was after a play. I think
Speaker 2: the whistlemaye blew and he like punched Mahomes and Mahomes
Speaker 2: was like, bro, that's too far. You went too far.
Speaker 2: And then there were the Chiefs for down seventeen to nothing.
Speaker 2: Mahomes scores a touchdown, gets in Crosby's face, and then
Speaker 2: Crosby just freaking b lines it it at Mahomes bangs
Speaker 2: his helmet and says, you woke up the wrong m ephor.
Speaker 2: You woke up the wrong m ephor. And he said
Speaker 2: like five times in a row. I'm like, dude, that
Speaker 2: guy's scary man, and it's crazy out there. I'll never
Speaker 2: forget that Week eighteen game. Man, he single handedly wrecked
Speaker 2: the game and ruined the Chargers' chances the postseason completely.
Speaker 1: He's he's in the conversation as the best pass rusher
Speaker 1: in the league. He's in that conversation. He is incredible.
Speaker 1: And that's that's why the development of Trey McKitty as
Speaker 1: a blocking tight end. Donald parm is a blocking tight end,
Speaker 1: you know, is in his ability to block is gonna
Speaker 1: be so important because if if you feel good about
Speaker 1: putting Slater on that island and the Raiders just decide.
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Graham, who we know what he was
Speaker 1: able to do with that Giants defense, you know, with
Speaker 1: he when he's coming over and trying to do some things.
Speaker 1: Now with extra weapons, with Chandler Jones who had a
Speaker 1: bad year last year but came alive in that second
Speaker 1: game against the Chargers. Now with Tyree Wilson, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have tight end help on that other side, you know
Speaker 1: with Trey, So if you can do that now you
Speaker 1: can double max if he wants to be on that side,
Speaker 1: and if he's on the side with Shawn, well, now
Speaker 1: you've got two of the best at what they do
Speaker 1: just going at it, and you're probably gonna see each
Speaker 1: of them win their fair share of those battles. That's
Speaker 1: how you you gotta neutralize it. You can make it,
Speaker 1: you can make I don't think there's any question you
Speaker 1: can make a case when you look at each of
Speaker 1: the offensive lines that the Chargers have the best offensive
Speaker 1: line in the division. I think I'd feel very I'd
Speaker 1: feel comfortable saying that. I know some the interior of
Speaker 1: the of the Chiefs with with Trey and Creed Humphrey
Speaker 1: has been really good. But I think you talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, a left tackle, and not that I ever
Speaker 1: thought that highly of Orlando Brown and my gosh, Joey
Speaker 1: would eat his lunch every time they played each other.
Speaker 1: But remember they're gonna have to go with Donovan Smith now,
Speaker 1: who's like sixty at left tackle, so you know, with
Speaker 1: he and But but when you talk about that Smith,
Speaker 1: Touney Humphrey interior, it's a really good interior line. So
Speaker 1: you got to take advantage of those tackles. Not a
Speaker 1: big Juwan Taylor guy. So that's you know what we're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at against the Chiefs. And now I'm
Speaker 1: just swerving all over the place. We were talking about
Speaker 1: the Raiders.
Speaker 2: No before, just to put a pin in the right
Speaker 2: Jerry Tillery is still there. DeAndre Carter has made his
Speaker 2: way to Vegas and is going to be doing the
Speaker 2: same thing he was doing for the Chargers. Last question,
Speaker 2: given your affinity for Derek Carr, do you see Jimmy
Speaker 2: Garoppolo as an upgrade? Clearly, Josh McDaniels didn't think Derek
Speaker 2: Carr could run his offense the way he wanted it.
Speaker 2: He knows Jimmy Garoppolo. You could say whatever you want
Speaker 2: about Jimmy g I know he's injury prone, but been
Speaker 2: to a couple of NFC championships and had a lead
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think everything that we had heard from people in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and Oakland is just something that Josh McDaniels
Speaker 1: decided he didn't want to live with anymore. And that's
Speaker 1: the mistakes late game execution, inability to stand in the
Speaker 1: pocket long enough to let place develop and deliver the
Speaker 1: ball downfield. He was a lot better with that two
Speaker 1: years ago. He kind of had taken a bit of
Speaker 1: a step and then regressed last year. So I think
Speaker 1: there's just frustrating things about Carr. He's a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's a good quarterback. He's an accurate quarterback. He throws
Speaker 1: a nice ball, he's got decent arm strength, he's got
Speaker 1: good mobility. I think it's the thing about Derek is
Speaker 1: you can't point to the stats. You have to watch
Speaker 1: the games to see when these plays appear over and
Speaker 1: over again in the red zone, interceptions in the red zone,
Speaker 1: just missing receivers in the red zone, in the field
Speaker 1: shrinks and pressure is on you a little bit quicker.
Speaker 1: Late game mistakes, the fumbles when you're fleeing the pocket
Speaker 1: way too early. I think it's things like that that
Speaker 1: frustrated John Gruden. And you heard about how he was
Speaker 1: constantly looking for another quarterback, which is funny that he's
Speaker 1: in New Orleans trying to coach him up. Now. I
Speaker 1: know that's an interesting one, but so I think eliminating
Speaker 1: that you probably take a step back and skill level
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo, but perhaps you just feel better about eliminating
Speaker 1: all of those things that were frustrating in one score losses,
Speaker 1: in games that you had the lead in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and ended up losing. I think that just finally
Speaker 1: caught up to Derek Carr and his relationship with Josh McDaniels,
Speaker 1: and they chose to go, you know, with Garoppolo. So
Speaker 1: I don't think is he better, is he worth? He's
Speaker 1: just different. I think they're I think they're comparable and
Speaker 1: how you feel about them quarterbacking your team, and they're
Speaker 1: just different.
Speaker 2: The Josh Jacobs situation is certainly one to monitor because
Speaker 2: he was the best running back in football last year
Speaker 2: and if they don't have him at the beginning of
Speaker 2: the year, especially or if you know, Jimmy G's not healthy,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a completely different looking offense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a you know, they they they don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of death. It's a team that does
Speaker 1: not have a lot of depth. Their secondary is still
Speaker 1: a huge issue and their offensive line is still a
Speaker 1: huge issue. And those are two very very important position
Speaker 1: groups when it comes to winning football games. So I
Speaker 1: think you're right saying on paper, looks like they're the
Speaker 1: fourth best team in the division. And you'd hope the
Speaker 1: Chargers can sweep that that two game series Week four
Speaker 1: and Week fifteen on Thursday Night.
Speaker 2: So let's move to the Broncos. And you talked about
Speaker 2: them a little bit at the beginning Week fourteen and
Speaker 2: Week seventeen. This year, They're not going to see Sean
Speaker 2: Payton's group until late late late in the year, so
Speaker 2: we'll know exactly know what they are, right, we'll know
Speaker 2: exactly who they are. The Broncos, I think they got
Speaker 2: better simply because of their head coach. Their defensive coordinator
Speaker 2: is new Vance Joseph. We saw Vance Joseph with the
Speaker 2: Cardinals last year where the Chargers beat them late in
Speaker 2: that game. You mentioned it. Their defense is really really good.
Speaker 2: I thought Russell Wilson maybe had his best game of
Speaker 2: the season against the Chargers in Week eighteen. It was
Speaker 2: a weird game for the Chargers. They were in The
Speaker 2: defense was playing pretty well going into that game. But
Speaker 2: you know what, I almost give the team a mulligan
Speaker 2: there because of the just weird situation when you have
Speaker 2: a playoff spot locked in and you know guys are
Speaker 2: coming in and out, but their offense is gonna be
Speaker 2: better money, it'll be better to what extent? How much
Speaker 2: better is it going to be incrementally better? Is it
Speaker 2: going to be leaps and bounds better. We'll see what
Speaker 2: kind of magic Sean Payton can work, coupled with how
Speaker 2: easy Russell Wilson is gonna make it on Sean Payton
Speaker 2: in terms of doing what he wants Russell to do.
Speaker 2: They have weapons up and down. You know, Javonte Williams
Speaker 2: at the running back position coming back from an ACL injury.
Speaker 2: You hear rumors about them maybe in the mix for
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook if Williams isn't quite ready for Week one.
Speaker 2: They they upgraded their offensive line led by Mike mclinchey.
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be a decent team. And I
Speaker 2: think the Chargers are gonna have to be ready for
Speaker 2: those those matchups because I think they're both going to
Speaker 2: mean something late in December and January.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, we'll know what they are by then.
Speaker 1: We know the defense is is dominant. It's it's all.
Speaker 1: I mean, even though they traded Bradley Chubb, they still
Speaker 1: have you know, we have We didn't see Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: last year. He was he was injured or out for
Speaker 1: most of the seasons. So he's coming back. I like
Speaker 1: Zach Allen a lot. I thought he was one of
Speaker 1: the more underrated edge players out there, just because he
Speaker 1: was kind of performing in anonymity out there in Arizona.
Speaker 1: So and the secondary, you know, it's just it's it's
Speaker 1: pat certain how good he is cannot be put into words.
Speaker 2: He's a show Adams that right, Yes, I saw the quote.
Speaker 2: He said, Uh, he's just not ready yet. He's not
Speaker 2: ready yet. Yeah, but he is, he's ready. Maybe just
Speaker 2: maybe not for Davante.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's fine, He's and you know, and then
Speaker 1: that safety Tan and we talked about a Kareem Jackson
Speaker 1: and Justin Simmons. It's it's the best safety tandem in football.
Speaker 1: So now you're dealing with that. You've got a lockdown corner.
Speaker 1: You've got, you know, Kareem Jackson and Justin Simmons on
Speaker 1: the back end, and you've got a decent pass rush
Speaker 1: up front. Their linebackers leave you, you know, wanting a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, Josie Jewel and al Baron Browning
Speaker 1: play pretty well against the Chargers, seems like every time
Speaker 1: they tangle. But you're right, it's going to come. There's
Speaker 1: a reason why they hired Sean Payton. There's a reason
Speaker 1: why they let go Vic Fangio. They had the most
Speaker 1: dominant defense in the league year in and year out,
Speaker 1: or at least in the conversation as such, and they
Speaker 1: decided to let him go because the offense just could
Speaker 1: not catch up. And now they bring in a guy
Speaker 1: who's considered one of the better and brightest offensive minds
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years in the NFL to fix
Speaker 1: an offense. It's got a lot of talent. You know,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson looked like he was carrying about ten to
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds too much last year, and it looks like
Speaker 1: he shed that extra weight. We know how dangerous he
Speaker 1: is when he's running around, and he just really didn't
Speaker 1: do that last year until Week eighteen when he played
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and all of a sudden, Russells running around
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, this is this is what we remember.
Speaker 1: This is what took him to two Super Bowls and
Speaker 1: one one, Like we remember this now this makes sense.
Speaker 1: So we know the pass catchers are good. Their first
Speaker 1: round picks or high second round picks. They've kind of
Speaker 1: got that basketball team of big body outside receiver Sutton,
Speaker 1: technical route runner Jerry Judy and you know, super quick
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, Tim Patrick, like you've got you kind of
Speaker 1: got everything in there. So and we saw Dulcich he
Speaker 1: had a huge game against the Chargers that second game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be good. So yeah, Javan and by the way,
Speaker 1: when you don't play him until week fourteen, yeah, well
Speaker 1: guess what, Javonte William's gonna be healthy by then. And
Speaker 1: he is a hammer, an absolute hammer. So this is
Speaker 1: a really, really good team. I will not be surprised
Speaker 1: in the least to see them bounce back and make
Speaker 1: a run. And I think that's something to remember. All
Speaker 1: the people that were talking about the juggernaut that was
Speaker 1: the AFC West last year certainly didn't turn out that way.
Speaker 1: But remember why you said that and what it was
Speaker 1: that you that led you to that that idea. That's
Speaker 1: the Broncos this year, they're still that team. They are
Speaker 1: still that team, and they got one of the best
Speaker 1: coaches in the league.
Speaker 2: Now, they didn't have a first round pick, but they
Speaker 2: did get Marvin Mims. You mentioned all those playmakers. Add
Speaker 2: him to the mix now too, Yeah Mims. So basically
Speaker 2: Mims and Patrick basically knew me.
Speaker 1: They probably don't even want to see him. You got
Speaker 1: Patrick Hamler, Sutton Judy. I mean, how about that for
Speaker 1: a top four? So yeah, and again they're I won't
Speaker 1: be surprised if they want to run the hell out
Speaker 1: of the ball. If he's like you, know what, it
Speaker 1: really worked pretty well for Pete up in Seattle. They
Speaker 1: won a lot of games and won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And Broncos have a Marshall, you know, a Marshawn Lynch
Speaker 1: tight back that does not go down on first contact
Speaker 1: and gets stronger as the game goes on and can
Speaker 1: really be a weapon in the fourth quarter. I would
Speaker 1: not be surprised if, like you said, Chris, they go
Speaker 1: after Dalvin Cook and they really tried to build this
Speaker 1: thing around the run and play action and take your
Speaker 1: shots here and there. It's not on your shoulders, you know,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, we don't care how much money you're making.
Speaker 1: Let's just go in games and you make plays when
Speaker 1: you have to.
Speaker 2: I think last year, too, was an example of just
Speaker 2: how important structure is within an organization. We weren't in
Speaker 2: the building, but by all indications, Russell was kind of
Speaker 2: running everything right. He had his own office and it
Speaker 2: was you know, he's he's the CEO of the of
Speaker 2: the offense essentially, and that doesn't work. That doesn't work.
Speaker 2: That's why Sean Payton's gonna come in. And I think
Speaker 2: just by that, it's just that one simple subtraction of
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Hackett to Sean Payton is going to make this
Speaker 2: team a professional outfit again and they're going to be
Speaker 2: a force to be reckoned with. I think so the
Speaker 2: charge players and they got players. Yeah, they got guys.
Speaker 2: That leads us to the Chiefs money. I want to
Speaker 2: rat off a few of these stats. Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 2: twenty seven to three against the AFC West. He's never
Speaker 2: lost a road game in the AFC West. The only
Speaker 2: teams that have I think they lost to the Raiders
Speaker 2: and then they lost to the Chargers twice barely one. Patrick, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is rarefied air right now. The one thing
Speaker 2: that Chargers fans should look forward to is the fact
Speaker 2: that Justin Herbert has had a fourth quarter lead in
Speaker 2: every single game against Patrick Mahomes. They haven't finished. That's
Speaker 2: not only Herbert that's on the team, that's on the defense,
Speaker 2: but they have been in every single game that they've
Speaker 2: played against Patrick Mahomes. Justin Herbert. Third and fourth quarter
Speaker 2: scoring is going to be I think the biggest thing
Speaker 2: in terms of just getting over the hump with the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: especially in that fourth quarter, because we've seen a way
Speaker 2: too many times where the Chiefs have something in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter for the Chargers, Chargers don't have enough gas.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about Kellen Moore last last week,
Speaker 2: and I just looked at the third quarter and fourth
Speaker 2: quarter scoring of the Cowboys versus the Chargers. Again, personnel
Speaker 2: Dallas is different, but Kellen was calling the place. Fourth
Speaker 2: quarter scoring last year Dallas was number three in the
Speaker 2: NFL seven point seven the Chargers twenty five, five point
Speaker 2: one third quarter scoring Dallas number five in the NFL
Speaker 2: six point one points per game. The Chargers twenty ninth
Speaker 2: two point nine points per game. Only Tampa Denver last
Speaker 2: year we just talked about in Pittsburgh were worse. So again,
Speaker 2: just the addition of Kellen Moore, you hope, is enough
Speaker 2: to at least put the Chargers in the conversation to
Speaker 2: win the AFC West for the first time since two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. It's gonna take a herculean effort to
Speaker 2: dethrone the Chiefs. I realized that I think they've won
Speaker 2: the division seven straight seasons, but they've been so close, man.
Speaker 2: And if they're healthy, and if they have an offense
Speaker 2: that can stain points in the second half of games
Speaker 2: in a defense that can get a stop. Maybe we're
Speaker 2: talking about Chargers winning the AFC West for the first
Speaker 2: time in thirteen seasons.
Speaker 1: Well, like we said that, this goes back a couple
Speaker 1: weeks when we talked about Brandon Staley's defense when we
Speaker 1: had Lindsay and Jeff Miller on and we talked about
Speaker 1: how you go into these games and you feel like
Speaker 1: Staley's got a really good game plan in the first half.
Speaker 1: And you think about that Week two matchup in Kansas
Speaker 1: City with all the interceptions again that should have been
Speaker 1: interceptions and the ability to maybe go up big and
Speaker 1: they just weren't able to cash those in. But then
Speaker 1: I look at the game, it's so far that really
Speaker 1: could have changed things. You know, the Chargers win that,
Speaker 1: they improved the six and four, the Chiefs slipped to
Speaker 1: seven and three. Now you've split the season series and
Speaker 1: you're back in this mix. Instead, they start the second
Speaker 1: half up twenty to thirteen. They had to settle for
Speaker 1: a field goal, remember at the end of the half,
Speaker 1: because and they were knocking on the door. It was
Speaker 1: like a third and one and they couldn't punch it
Speaker 1: in from the goal from from again it was like
Speaker 1: the two or something like that. They had to kick
Speaker 1: the field goal, which again that goes back to the
Speaker 1: what happened to the aggressive mentality. It's the Chiefs. You
Speaker 1: got to score touchdowns, not field goal anyway. So they're
Speaker 1: up twenty to thirteen. Started the second half, they punt,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs get a field goal. Second possession, three and out,
Speaker 1: they punt, Chiefs get a touchdown, and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're down twenty three to twenty and the
Speaker 1: next possession they fumble. And it's just that that's how
Speaker 1: you lose games to the Chiefs. You cannot make mistakes.
Speaker 1: You just can't. And last year felt like the year.
Speaker 1: Looking at it, you're like, all right, look at this defense.
Speaker 1: They've got all these young guys. They've reset their secondary.
Speaker 1: They're playing rookies at corner and safety, and you know
Speaker 1: Jalen Watson and Trent McDuffie are out there and this
Speaker 1: is the time to go get him, and they weren't
Speaker 1: able to cash that in. Now those guys are a
Speaker 1: year older, they're Super Bowl champions. They've certainly got a
Speaker 1: ton of confidence. They've been able to reset on these
Speaker 1: cheaper contracts, and we know, like you said, you've got
Speaker 1: to close out. You know, the defense has got to
Speaker 1: come up big. It's hard. It's hard to do that. Again,
Speaker 1: someone who's going to be in the conversation is the
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback in the history of this game. It is
Speaker 1: very hard. So when he extends those plays, man, things
Speaker 1: get tough. So and it's interesting. I went back and
Speaker 1: looked at the advanced metrics and the quarterback hurries and
Speaker 1: the win rate, Like Joey Bosa's win rate in the
Speaker 1: two games against the Chiefs, it's like thirty five percent.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just ate Orlando Brown's lunch in those games.
Speaker 1: But and then you'll see, oh, when he had three
Speaker 1: pressures and three quarterback hits, and then you go look
Speaker 1: at the pressures and the hits and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's there, he hit him. But Mahomes is throwing a
Speaker 1: dump off pass to Travis Kelce because he had that
Speaker 1: extra second for those guys to just get on that
Speaker 1: same wavelength and break your heart. And that's I can't
Speaker 1: even imagine what it's like as a defender to feel like, man,
Speaker 1: I am busting this guy up and I'm running in place,
Speaker 1: and they're scoring thirty points and we got as a team.
Speaker 1: You know, twelve hurries, eight quarterback hits, two sacks and
Speaker 1: they're putting up thirty and that's just that's the Chiefs
Speaker 1: is the one where you said it. Kellen Moore, who
Speaker 1: was able to devise different game plans week in and
Speaker 1: week out with the Cowboys depending on his opponent, did
Speaker 1: a really good job of This week, we're leaning on
Speaker 1: Zeke and Toni Pollard. Next week we're leaning on Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb and Dak Prescott, Like that's where he's gonna make
Speaker 1: his bones. What's your game plan for the Chiefs? Can
Speaker 1: you not start the second half punt fumble and go
Speaker 1: from leading by seven to trailing by three?
Speaker 2: Money December sixteenth, twenty twenty one. This is the game
Speaker 2: that I really thought that this conversation would be in
Speaker 2: the rear view and the Chargers would actually win the division.
Speaker 2: They had already beaten the Chiefs earlier in the year
Speaker 2: in Arrowhead SOFI Stadium Thursday Night Football. They're up at
Speaker 2: the half, they lose in overtime thirty four to twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Had they won that game, they would have had the
Speaker 2: season sweep over the Kansas City Chiefs. The records would
Speaker 2: have been tied, and the Chargers had games against the
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, the Broncos, who are not good that year,
Speaker 2: and then that Raiders game. It was a COVID year.
Speaker 2: It was all wacky. We know what happened in Houston
Speaker 2: that following week, but I almost feel like the deflation
Speaker 2: of that loss had some carryover as well. The Charges
Speaker 2: were this close to winning the AFC West in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one. I don't know if people fully realize it.
Speaker 2: They would have had the season sweep over the Chiefs
Speaker 2: after a Thursday night football game. They would have had
Speaker 2: extra rest, tons of motivation to go to Houston despite
Speaker 2: having a bunch of guys out with COVID in finishing
Speaker 2: the season as AFC West champions. The closest they got
Speaker 2: was twenty eighteen when Anthony Lynn was the head coach.
Speaker 2: They're twelve and four, and you know the Chiefs is
Speaker 2: a tiebreaker over them, But just think about that, Brandon
Speaker 2: Staley's first year, they were this close. They were this
Speaker 2: close to the vision. You know, they played well, and
Speaker 2: they always play the Chiefs well. Well is not good enough?
Speaker 2: Right right close is not good enough. But justin Herbert
Speaker 2: and you're four a healthy roster. I don't put it
Speaker 2: out of the realm of possibilities. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have dominated a division like nobody's business right now.
Speaker 2: You look around the entire NFL, there's nobody close in
Speaker 2: terms of domination Andy Reid and Patrick Homes. When you
Speaker 2: don't lose road games in the division, you're dominating, You're
Speaker 2: doing things that nobody's ever done in the NFL. That's
Speaker 2: what the Charges are up against each and every year.
Speaker 2: But they're so freaking close, man, Like, That's why I
Speaker 2: think you have to be you have to be encouraged
Speaker 2: by how Justin Herbert has played against Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 2: how the Chiefs and Chargers have played really over the
Speaker 2: last several years, even dating back to Philip Rivers, every
Speaker 2: game comes down to the wire. The Charges have just
Speaker 2: not been on the right end.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm hopeful. I know a lot of people pointed
Speaker 1: to the Week eighteen game against the Chiefs and how
Speaker 1: that's when you want it. It's a bonus because the
Speaker 1: Chiefs wrap up the division seemingly every year by Week
Speaker 1: fifteen or something, so you get a break and maybe
Speaker 1: that's just a win because Mahomes isn't going to play.
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case. I hope that's for
Speaker 1: the division. That's what the NFL is hoping that that's
Speaker 1: your Sunday night football game in primetime or the Saturday
Speaker 1: night game in primetime that everyone's going to tune into,
Speaker 1: and it's going to be for the division. Week seven
Speaker 1: is hit October twenty second. They catch a break. Every
Speaker 1: single season, it feels like the Chargers have been sent
Speaker 1: to Kansas City on a short week or in prime
Speaker 1: time and dealing with one of the most hostile environments
Speaker 1: that's now magnified because it's a primetime game or it's
Speaker 1: a late game and people have been getting all lubed
Speaker 1: up in that parking lot, which is probably the best
Speaker 1: tailgate in all of the NFL, and it's just a
Speaker 1: it's a cauldron of anger and vitriol that you have
Speaker 1: to try to navigate along with playing the most dominant
Speaker 1: team in football the last five years. So I'm happy
Speaker 1: that it's just a standard Sunday afternoon game October twenty
Speaker 1: second at Arrowhead. We have not had one of those,
Speaker 1: it feels like in a long time against the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: but damn money.
Speaker 2: The only problem with that is that it is a
Speaker 2: short week because they played Monday night football against the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: so they it's standard. But again you still the little
Speaker 2: list of breaks the Chargers can't catch against the Cheeks.
Speaker 1: It's true. Now, it's a fair point. It's a fair point.
Speaker 1: It's a shorter week. However, that well not even However,
Speaker 1: the one thing that I'm hopeful is that j C.
Speaker 1: Jackson is who we think he is, and he's healthy
Speaker 1: and he's found his rhythm. Because now when you have
Speaker 1: three corners, however they want to divvy it up wherever
Speaker 1: they may go with Sante and Mikey Davis and j C. Jackson.
Speaker 1: If you can just get that extra beat, let's turn
Speaker 1: those hits and hurries into sacks because it's not open
Speaker 1: because Patrick Mahlmes can't find that extra guy. Because you've
Speaker 1: got three viable, legitimate, potentially Pro Bowl cornerbacks out there
Speaker 1: that are able to give your defensive front, Morgan Fox
Speaker 1: and Joey and Khalil that just that split second that
Speaker 1: they need to turn hits to sacks. Look, they got
Speaker 1: to him man in Week two. They were all over
Speaker 1: him in that first quarter. Like I said, there were interceptions.
Speaker 1: There should have been interceptions. There were BS penalties that
Speaker 1: nullified interceptions. And they had it. Staley had the game
Speaker 1: plan laid out, the players executed it, and they deserved
Speaker 1: the better fate than they had. Rush into the line
Speaker 1: on a first and goal from the three was just
Speaker 1: in it. It drove me crazy all last season, the
Speaker 1: hurry up. I could chart all of the hurry if
Speaker 1: I had the time to go through it. I could
Speaker 1: chart all the hurry up plays that Joe Lombardi tried
Speaker 1: to run, and I would put their success rates somewhere
Speaker 1: around one percent. And that was the worst of the bunch,
Speaker 1: hurrying to a first and goal from the three and
Speaker 1: throwing a pick six in that Week two game and
Speaker 1: completely flipping that game on its head after you had
Speaker 1: dominated completely up until that point. So there's it sounds
Speaker 1: like a lot of you know, peeing and moan and
Speaker 1: what ifs, But I think it's because they are so
Speaker 1: close and it's just so hard to get over that hump,
Speaker 1: especially when it's such a small hump. It feels like
Speaker 1: the way these two teams play each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chargers fans have lived it, you know, they know
Speaker 2: all about this. Rivalry. They know all about the heydays
Speaker 2: of Rivers and LT and when they were winning the
Speaker 2: AFC West, and it seems like it's long overdue for
Speaker 2: that to come back around. Maybe twenty twenty three is
Speaker 2: that year, Sope. So yeah, well, we'll be at camp
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. Next week we will dive
Speaker 2: into training camp, preview, everything you need to know, position battles,
Speaker 2: guys to watch as we get ready for another season
Speaker 2: to Chargers football. And then money'll be We'll be at
Speaker 2: Jack Hammond. Hopefully we can get some players to sit
Speaker 2: down with us like we did last year.
Speaker 1: It'll be fun, absolutely every week.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, yep, let's do it all right for money?
Speaker 2: I'm Chris. This has been Chargers Weekly. Thanks was
Speaker 1: Stret
