Speaker 1: It's a late fifteen to ten touchdown.
Speaker 2: Chargers.
Speaker 1: What's up? Guys?
Speaker 3: Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly as
Speaker 3: the Bolts head to lambeau Field this Sunday, coming off
Speaker 3: a very entertaining game, a difficult loss forty one to
Speaker 3: thirty eight to the Detroit Lions, and money, if you
Speaker 3: can believe it, we sit here in mid November. I
Speaker 3: think every single team, say for maybe the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 3: and the New England Patriots, are in this playoff hunt.
Speaker 3: They're either in it or a game back of the
Speaker 3: seventh seed. I don't think that in a million years
Speaker 3: I would envision Burrow, Herbert and Allen being on the
Speaker 3: outside looking in at this point.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the good news I guess, right, is that
Speaker 2: everybody's kind of beat up on each other. That the
Speaker 2: Broncos knocking off the Bills on Monday Night was huge
Speaker 2: just because you get to play both those teams, you know,
Speaker 2: the Broncos twice and the Bills once at home, so
Speaker 2: that still gives you an opportunity. The Browns beating the
Speaker 2: Ravens huge, you get to play them at home and
Speaker 2: try to get that tiebreaker. The Jets are ahead of you,
Speaker 2: or you know, with those teams that are ahead of
Speaker 2: you that you knocked off in the AFC, that's where
Speaker 2: nine and eight can come into play, is get those
Speaker 2: head to head wins. Problem is when you start getting
Speaker 2: into three way tiebreakers, and we got three nine and
Speaker 2: eight teams, well, then the conference record comes into play,
Speaker 2: and that's when you can find yourself in some trouble.
Speaker 2: So you know, you said it, Chris right there, Tennessee.
Speaker 2: There's when you miss. There's always one game that you circle,
Speaker 2: and that's the second it happened. We said, oh man,
Speaker 2: this is a bad loss. This team is not good.
Speaker 2: And you allowed them to just hang around and play
Speaker 2: Tennessee football. You didn't put your foot on their throat.
Speaker 2: And you get that three and out in overtime, and
Speaker 2: that's the one that haunts you. Instead of being five
Speaker 2: and four, you're four and five, and that just means,
Speaker 2: you know, you got to get a win over the Lions.
Speaker 2: You've got to get a win over the Dolphins. You've
Speaker 2: got to get a win over the Chiefs, you know,
Speaker 2: and then what's remaining now Ravens Bill's Chiefs, Like you've
Speaker 2: got to pick up a win in there, and that's
Speaker 2: that's what's got to happen now.
Speaker 4: And I don't I don't think nine and eight's gonna
Speaker 4: do it. I just don't. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 4: ten and seven.
Speaker 2: So that means the Charger's got to go six and
Speaker 2: two to close this thing out after starting four and five.
Speaker 2: And that's I think a tall order for the way
Speaker 2: this team is played, you know, just to be totally realistic,
Speaker 2: I think it is a tall They have got to
Speaker 2: change the way they're playing football. If they expect to
Speaker 2: go six and two over these final league games.
Speaker 1: They got to get on the same page.
Speaker 3: You got to play complimentary football, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: the offense with al Joshua Palmer and Mike Williams and
Speaker 3: Corey Linsley justin Herbert's making it happen. Keenan Allen, I
Speaker 3: don't know what aust We can say about him. He's
Speaker 3: an All Pro this year and I don't care if
Speaker 3: they vote him in All Product. He's an All Pro
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 4: He's that good.
Speaker 3: But defensively again, forty one points, I do that it
Speaker 3: can't happen against anybody, And I get at the Lions
Speaker 3: maybe as stacked as anybody offensively. We talked about all
Speaker 3: the weapons that we talked about last week, but after
Speaker 3: coming off the Jets and Bears, like we knew that
Speaker 3: what that was right. Those are inferior opponents that you're
Speaker 3: supposed to beat. But to allow forty one points to
Speaker 3: anybody in the NFL with the talent that they have
Speaker 3: on defense, it cannot happen, especially when you have these
Speaker 3: got to have a games, and frankly that was one
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: You know, there's it's Big twelve football, you know, can
Speaker 2: you get me two stops? And they got them too,
Speaker 2: but they need two stops that's what the defense got
Speaker 2: in that game too. Like that's that's crazy. You can't
Speaker 2: you got two losses on your ledger. Now when you
Speaker 2: scored thirty four and thirty eight points, you know this
Speaker 2: week the Chargers would have lost to two teams, you know,
Speaker 2: scoring thirty eight points, the Cowboys who put it on,
Speaker 2: the Giants and the team that they played, the Lions
Speaker 2: who put forty one. Otherwise, thirty eight points is the
Speaker 2: third most points scored this week in the NFL and
Speaker 2: you get a loss out of it, and it's there's
Speaker 2: so many stats that are out there that people are
Speaker 2: pointing two and it's understandable.
Speaker 4: The Chargers are a good team and they're sitting at
Speaker 4: four and five.
Speaker 2: So between the you know, Justin Herbert fifty eight regular
Speaker 2: season games in one playoff game and he scored fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred and two points and the defense is allowed fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred and two points and he's twenty nine and twenty nine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that tells it. That tells you the story.
Speaker 2: You score a ton of points, twenty five point two,
Speaker 2: but your defense allows twenty five point two, and you're
Speaker 2: gonna be five hundred, you know, and you're gonna be
Speaker 2: nine and eight or you're gonna be eight to nine.
Speaker 2: And that's essentially what this team has been, you know,
Speaker 2: save that sweet four game win streak they went.
Speaker 4: On last year.
Speaker 2: So they've got to figure it out, and I know
Speaker 2: we could will you know, we'll dig deep into it.
Speaker 2: Just kind of painting with a with broad strokes here.
Speaker 2: It's you know, the other stat that got I saw
Speaker 2: posted is you know, the the mean.
Speaker 4: Would it be the median or the mean? I think
Speaker 4: it would be. The mean.
Speaker 2: Points allowed in the NFL this year is twenty one.
Speaker 2: It's like twenty one, right, So that's smack in the
Speaker 2: middle twenty one per game. If you the way they
Speaker 2: worded it was interesting. They said, okay, let's give the
Speaker 2: Chargers two points. Let's just say we'll give you two
Speaker 2: points above the mean, you know, or below the mean,
Speaker 2: and you're allowing twenty three per game. If you could
Speaker 2: just allow twenty three per game, the Chargers are seven
Speaker 2: and two and that's two points more than the mean
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Like, that's how bad the defense has
Speaker 2: been this year.
Speaker 4: And it's just I.
Speaker 2: Wanted to believe they found something after the second half
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs in those two games against the Bears
Speaker 2: and the Jets, they were just so dominating, creating turnovers,
Speaker 2: a ton of pressure, strip sacks, and a lot of
Speaker 2: it was that second half of the Chiefs. But then
Speaker 2: I start of thinking about it after the Lions game,
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know what, the Chiefs offense
Speaker 2: isn't that good this year. They've really struggled this year.
Speaker 2: You know, like this this is a buzzsaw. The Lions
Speaker 2: are there. They're probably the most balanced offense in the
Speaker 2: NFL running pass and just the way they block, and
Speaker 2: I think it's a reminder of just the issues that
Speaker 2: this team has got to overcome on that side of
Speaker 2: the ball if they're going to have a chance to
Speaker 2: go six and two and try to get into this
Speaker 2: tournament and do something.
Speaker 3: Bagent Zach Wilson, Aidan O'Connell, and Kirk Cousins before they
Speaker 3: got hot. Those are the four quarterbacks that they've beaten.
Speaker 3: The running game or the run defense rather, which has
Speaker 3: been pretty stout all year. Man, David, you don't see
Speaker 3: a lot of seventy five yard touchdown runs in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Jamiir gives what he did on the ground. I I
Speaker 3: wanted to believe too. Did this defense turn the corner?
Speaker 1: But money, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say or what you attribute
Speaker 3: it to when you have guys that can rush the
Speaker 3: passer Golf wasn't touched.
Speaker 1: On Sun touched, not touched at all. The run defense,
Speaker 1: I mean, what happened?
Speaker 3: I just I don't know how you can come off
Speaker 3: of two games where you're on a national stage and
Speaker 3: you got the momentum and the defense to completely come
Speaker 3: out the opposite way of what we saw those previous
Speaker 3: two weeks, even when you take into account the caliber
Speaker 3: of opponent.
Speaker 1: I just I think that a lot of Chargers fans
Speaker 1: are probably just.
Speaker 3: Wondering, Hey, I don't know what to say anymore in
Speaker 3: terms of the d and how they can kind of
Speaker 3: get this thing back and reel it in. Like you said,
Speaker 3: six and two is a tall order, especially when you
Speaker 3: consider all the logjam that is, like the six to
Speaker 3: thirteen in the AFC. If you go six and two,
Speaker 3: you know, it's very likely you probably beat the Ravens
Speaker 3: or the Broncos twice of the bills and you get
Speaker 3: those tie breakers.
Speaker 1: But like you said, man, it's a very tall order.
Speaker 2: At this point, I just have to acknowledge it because
Speaker 2: if somebody else out there is thinking the same thing,
Speaker 2: I want to let you know where kindredge Kindred Spirits.
Speaker 2: You say log jam and I think log jam, and
Speaker 2: with Karl Hungus, I'll just leave it there. If you
Speaker 2: know what it is, great, If you don't great, you
Speaker 2: know what Brandon Staley said it. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: kind of back them up. Yeah, coaching let them down
Speaker 2: defense was like watching it back man, it is frustrating.
Speaker 2: So on the seventy five yard run from Montgomery, the
Speaker 2: linebackers just get sucked in. Basically, you know the line
Speaker 2: is blocking, right, and both Kenneth and Kendricks get yanked
Speaker 2: that way. Derwin ends up getting blot Look, they block
Speaker 2: the hell out of it when they run. They're wide receivers.
Speaker 2: They pull guys and they will block your ass. I
Speaker 2: watched Sewells and this is not something we see off
Speaker 2: and I saw him sent Kenneth Murray into the freaking
Speaker 2: fifth row of the seats. He blocked him so hard
Speaker 2: on one of those runs. But the Montgomery, that's that's
Speaker 2: basically a brain cramp by the defense. They all got
Speaker 2: sucked on that poll and it left the backside open.
Speaker 2: Derwin got sealed off. Alowe was too far back and
Speaker 2: it was just too late. They couldn't recover. So that
Speaker 2: sort on Murray and Kendricks to figure out, all right,
Speaker 2: who's making sure we don't get burned on the back
Speaker 2: side of this? And neither of them were there. Uh
Speaker 2: And Tuley was just too far out and he got
Speaker 2: blocked out of the play. But man, it's I don't
Speaker 2: even know where to start. So too can't allow these
Speaker 2: before yeah.
Speaker 1: Before you're going just I'm under Saint Brown too.
Speaker 3: You know we've seen so that seen these wide receivers
Speaker 3: all year long ago for big, big numbers eight for one,
Speaker 3: fifty six and a touchdown on nine targets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all right, so let's go there, Chris, let's
Speaker 2: go to that. There's multiple there's two of those plays
Speaker 2: that I just can't make sense of it. I can't,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know how you decide to blitz
Speaker 2: off of amen Ra when in the all right, so
Speaker 2: they blitzed Dean off of I think it was no
Speaker 2: they blitz Jo off of aman Ran one of those
Speaker 2: big plays. He's got no chance, he has gotten no
Speaker 2: chance of getting to Jared Goff. So now amon Raz
Speaker 2: got a free release. And all Jared Goff wants to
Speaker 2: do is operate in the middle of the field. And
Speaker 2: you know, when Dean came in for Michael Davis, he
Speaker 2: did a great job initially of playing a ton of
Speaker 2: inside leverage, just shoving these guys I should say outside
Speaker 2: leverage and just shoving these guys outside, do not let
Speaker 2: them get inbreakers. That's what he wants. And then you
Speaker 2: start watching some of these plays and it's like, what
Speaker 2: are what are we blitzing off of aman Ross Saint
Speaker 2: Brown for? You're not going to get their number one.
Speaker 2: You know, they had one where he had Khalil Mack
Speaker 2: wide where he wanted him to chip Saint Brown.
Speaker 4: So that's what he does.
Speaker 2: You know, we kind of just gets a little bit
Speaker 2: of a shove on him, and the next thing you know,
Speaker 2: nobody picks him up. He's just wide open, streaking across
Speaker 2: the middle of the field. It's he's he's lined up
Speaker 2: to Jared Goff's left in the slot. Matt gives him
Speaker 2: a shove, it's an inbreaker, and there's nobody there, and
Speaker 2: it just ends up crossing the middle of the field
Speaker 2: for thirty five yards. You know, on that touchdown pass,
Speaker 2: everybody like they run Brock right in motion, all right,
Speaker 2: they're third tight end. They run them in motion from
Speaker 2: left to right. And I got three guys taking the cheese.
Speaker 2: I've got Kendricks, Jaw and Murray all pointing at him
Speaker 2: like in a fire drill following him, and nobody is
Speaker 2: staring at the number one weapon on this team, Saint Brown,
Speaker 2: who just takes that quick screen and there's nobody left.
Speaker 2: Everybody's watching right in motion trying to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 2: who's gonna pick him up?
Speaker 4: What are the rules? Who what do we do now?
Speaker 4: And it's just you can't. You've got to stop.
Speaker 2: It's got to on the khalif Raymond play the first
Speaker 2: play when they got that giant chunk to start the
Speaker 2: final drive that iced the game.
Speaker 4: Job, oh man.
Speaker 2: The ball is on the right hash, all right. If
Speaker 2: you're the Lions and you're operating left to right, it's
Speaker 2: on the right hash of that's where the ball is. Okay,
Speaker 2: imagine the Lions are on offense. The ball is on
Speaker 2: the right hash all right. So I'm speaking from the
Speaker 2: perspective of the Lions. Jaw is lined up between the
Speaker 2: left hash and the numbers. From the perspective of the Lions,
Speaker 2: I hope this paints a picture for people's minds either
Speaker 2: are listening to the.
Speaker 4: Pod only when that ball is snapped, he is.
Speaker 2: He's got to be at least twenty five yards from
Speaker 2: Jared Goff and he is blitzing from that position. Right
Speaker 2: hash is where the ball is snapped. He is between
Speaker 2: the left hand and the numbers, five yards off the
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, and they call a blitz from him.
Speaker 2: So he comes has zero chance of getting home. I
Speaker 2: mean less than zero, if that's possible. Chance of getting home.
Speaker 2: And what happens is it clears out that left side.
Speaker 2: Well Leonard is ten yards off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Khalif Raymond just immediately cuts it on an inbreaker, cuts
Speaker 2: inside and is streaking across the middle of the field.
Speaker 2: It's cleared out because you've got two guys running downfield
Speaker 2: on that opposite side where Job blitzed from. So now
Speaker 2: the other corner and the safety take those two players
Speaker 2: and there's nobody there, and you've got Dean Leonard guarding
Speaker 2: thirty yards of grass with nobody there, and you've got
Speaker 2: Eric Kendrick's paying attention to Jared Goff's eyes. Is Khalif
Speaker 2: Raymond streaks right by him and that thing goes for
Speaker 2: seventy yards or whatever it was, fifty yards, you know,
Speaker 2: to get that thing started and put him into field
Speaker 2: goal position.
Speaker 4: Like those are the plays that I've got.
Speaker 2: I believe they go back and watch and go, we
Speaker 2: can't do this, Like both of these blitzes from these
Speaker 2: from the corners, you know, from John from Dean failed
Speaker 2: miserably and led to explosive plays.
Speaker 1: Its week.
Speaker 4: So that's yeah, you know, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Though it's it's week ten right now. And you know, honestly,
Speaker 3: I don't think Charger fans want to even.
Speaker 1: Hear about playoffs right now. Right It's it's just one
Speaker 1: game right now. To even get back into the conversation.
Speaker 1: Starting with Green Bay.
Speaker 3: Let's touch on the offense a little bit, because I
Speaker 3: thought after that interception, I mean it was a Justin
Speaker 3: Harber gay Man three hundred twenty three yards, four touchdowns,
Speaker 3: you know, still kind of a slog running the football.
Speaker 3: Nineteen for sixty seven for Austin Eckler. I mean, I
Speaker 3: think the most frustrating part about this money is you
Speaker 3: waste an eleven for one seventy five and two touchdown
Speaker 3: performance from Keenan Allen, who who got hurt, came back
Speaker 3: scored another touchdown. And when you see Justin Herbert play
Speaker 3: the way he has, especially in gamesley he's got to
Speaker 3: have a games, it becomes increasingly frustrating because you're always
Speaker 3: going to be in a game when number ten.
Speaker 4: Is your quarterback.
Speaker 3: Look at every loss, look at every loss save for
Speaker 3: Kansas City, and even that they were in that game.
Speaker 3: I think that's what's most frustrating is because Justin has
Speaker 3: adapted to life without Mike Williams to life without Joshua
Speaker 3: Palmer last Sunday to life without Corey Linsley or all
Speaker 3: Pro center.
Speaker 1: And he puts up thirty eight points.
Speaker 3: Jalen Geitton scores a touchdown, Quentin Johnson gets his first
Speaker 3: touchdown of the year. So he's trying to work with
Speaker 3: what he's got outside of Keenan in Austin, and he's
Speaker 3: doing it. And yet, like you said, thirty eight points
Speaker 3: would beat every single team in the NFL except for
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and Lions. And here we are four and
Speaker 3: five with a matchup against Jordan Love at lambeau Field.
Speaker 3: I have no doubt that Justin's going to show up
Speaker 3: to that, but I don't know how that's going to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, their offense stinks, so look, if they lose that game,
Speaker 2: it's that's a disaster. You know, they should win that game.
Speaker 2: They should win that game handily. The Packers are not
Speaker 2: very good this year, specifically in the passing game, and
Speaker 2: they ought to be able to the Chargers ought to
Speaker 2: be able to score on them. Never know, you know,
Speaker 2: you never know. But just going back to what we
Speaker 2: were saying, I want to give Shannon credit. Shannon Ferron,
Speaker 2: who does our sidelines because she, you know, let our
Speaker 2: producer know, hey, let me in real quick, and so
Speaker 2: we popped you know, we got her mic up and
Speaker 2: she mentioned after the defense held the Lions to that
Speaker 2: turnover on downs at that goal line stand. Remember they
Speaker 2: went three and out and Herbert had two bad passes.
Speaker 2: Remember he kind of he dirtballed two of them, just
Speaker 2: kind of was aiming and was just kind of not
Speaker 2: quite sure what he wanted to do. And you had
Speaker 2: those two incompletions and came off the field. Then I
Speaker 2: didn't see it because it was on the bench, but
Speaker 2: Shannon popped on and she said, I have not seen
Speaker 2: Herbert this angry in a while. He slammed his helmet down,
Speaker 2: he kind of ran his fingers through his hair and
Speaker 2: was just really upset, like emotionally upset about that particular series,
Speaker 2: I think because he knows a lot of it was
Speaker 2: on him. You know, those were two open receivers and
Speaker 2: he just didn't quite deliver the passes he needed to
Speaker 2: to get that first down. And that was it, dude,
Speaker 2: that was the switch. If you look at what the
Speaker 2: Chargers did after that punt, it is touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.
Speaker 2: Touched down like that was That was freaking Herbert going
Speaker 2: extreme mode, like Okay, that ain't happening again, And that's
Speaker 2: how good that dude. I thought it was his best game.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody will point to the Minnesota game because
Speaker 2: he barely had any incompletions. He was blitzed on eighty
Speaker 2: percent of his passes. But it was just a poor
Speaker 2: perform you know, Look, it was an exceptional performance by
Speaker 2: Justin and Keenan, don't get me wrong, but it was
Speaker 2: just a poor performance by Brian Flores and how he
Speaker 2: approached that. They he and Keenan were just able to
Speaker 2: pick that thing apart when they were zero blitzing seemingly
Speaker 2: all the time. So you know, this one, he's under pressure.
Speaker 2: He's got to move, he's got to change his release points,
Speaker 2: like you said, He's got to throw passes to Quinton
Speaker 2: Johnston to Jalen Geiton for touchdowns. You know that fourth
Speaker 2: down pass you want to talk about.
Speaker 4: Trust.
Speaker 2: Quinton's got three drops in the game, three drops, and
Speaker 2: yeah he got bailed out by those PI calls, but
Speaker 2: those should have been catches. Those are passes that are hitting.
Speaker 4: Him in the hands. The catch those balls.
Speaker 1: One to the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the house and just flat out drop.
Speaker 2: He's got to be better. It's like, come on, dude,
Speaker 2: it's Week ten. You're an NFL player. Now you've got
Speaker 2: to catch those balls. And again, this is something I
Speaker 2: saw after that one he dropped that he could have
Speaker 2: taken into the house. Herbert went over, put his arm
Speaker 2: around Hi, gave him a little encouragement like.
Speaker 4: Hey, let's go.
Speaker 2: But and I think this speaks to what I keep saying.
Speaker 2: I hope it's a turning point. You know, trusted him
Speaker 2: on fourth down, threw him a freaking laser into the
Speaker 2: end zone.
Speaker 4: He caught it.
Speaker 2: Its touchdown. So you know, it was Justin's best game
Speaker 2: of the year. It's his best game that we've seen
Speaker 2: in a while, just considering the circumstances, knowing that every
Speaker 2: one of those drives was got to have it. Defense
Speaker 2: could not stop the Lions. The defense did not show up,
Speaker 2: so it was all on Herbert and man, did he'd
Speaker 2: deliver it was It was impressive. I mean it was
Speaker 2: damn impressive.
Speaker 3: And to have the weapons that he had in that
Speaker 3: game versus the Minnesota game too. Remember Mike Williams was
Speaker 3: in that game. Cory Lensley was.
Speaker 4: The first half.
Speaker 1: Yea, Joshua Palmer was in that game, scored a touchdown.
Speaker 3: You know, Gerald ever leaves in the first half of
Speaker 3: this game too. We thought that Gerald could have a
Speaker 3: good game because you know, Detroit has has given up
Speaker 3: some some yards of tight ends. Pauum ended up just
Speaker 3: having two for eighteen. It was good to see Jalen
Speaker 3: Guiton involved it. It was kind of shades of a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago late in the season where he
Speaker 3: had a couple of big catch in Cincinnati and New York.
Speaker 1: And I think Justin really trusts him. So that passed
Speaker 1: city through the Genlem was beautiful too. It was for
Speaker 1: a touchdown.
Speaker 2: It didn't matter though, Chris, you know, like it just offensively,
Speaker 2: didn't matter who was in, who was out. They scored
Speaker 2: thirty eight points. You know, the run game, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's nice to see Austin get over four yards per carry.
Speaker 2: You know, a couple of big runs in there for sure,
Speaker 2: to keep it balanced, to keep the play action working.
Speaker 2: But you know, ultimately, this is a defense games. It's
Speaker 2: a you know, it's a defense let you down game.
Speaker 2: Like you said, no proud and what did we say
Speaker 2: going into this game. You know what's the key. He't
Speaker 2: up Jared Goff. He doesn't like getting hit. He doesn't
Speaker 2: like when the pocket gets muddy. If you keep it clean,
Speaker 2: he's a damn good quarterback. And man, was it clean
Speaker 2: all afternoon.
Speaker 4: It was clean.
Speaker 2: And the problem was they rarely blitzed, so they're only
Speaker 2: rushing four, which means you got seven guys in coverage.
Speaker 2: And when you're watching and these seven guys won, a
Speaker 2: Looie is out of the picture, like he's out of
Speaker 2: the frame when you're watching the All twenty two, he's
Speaker 2: so far back, he's playing so high, and it's like
Speaker 2: it's not fair to him. It's just not fair to
Speaker 2: a lowie to give a Monroe free release. And now
Speaker 2: he's streaking across the middle of the field and Gilman's
Speaker 2: got to be the guy that's responsible for him. It's like,
Speaker 2: stop getting hit with the right hand. You've got to
Speaker 2: chip that. What should have happened is he is. He
Speaker 2: is manned up on every play, and that is where
Speaker 2: a Loie Gilman is shaded.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 2: It's two guys for one and that's what you should
Speaker 2: have had. And instead he's got a couple free releases
Speaker 2: and a looie. Gilman is constantly trying to catch up
Speaker 2: to him, and it's just not fair to him. That's
Speaker 2: not the way that thing should be played. And I
Speaker 2: know Mikey Davis went down early. He wasn't feeling well,
Speaker 2: you know, and you tip your cap to him for
Speaker 2: giving it a go, you know. And then you see
Speaker 2: him down on the sideline with a tile over his
Speaker 2: head and a bucket in front of him. That's how
Speaker 2: bad it was. And yet he tried to make it happen.
Speaker 2: But like I said, when Dean Leonard came out, man
Speaker 2: he had a couple of really nice reps one against Williams,
Speaker 2: one against Reynolds. But to me, it's scheme. It really is, Chris.
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but it is like these guys.
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many of these passing plays.
Speaker 2: I'm just watching linebackers trying to catch up or standing
Speaker 2: there flat footed. On that fourth and two to Laporta,
Speaker 2: they're playing zone. It's fourth and two and they're playing
Speaker 2: zone and Laporta just comes streaking across the middle Kendrick's
Speaker 2: points Adam and watches him run by. He crosses the
Speaker 2: eyes of Kenneth Murray, who was just fixated on Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: It's a fourth and two, it's the game like, and
Speaker 2: then he just gets past Kenneth, squats, flashes his numbers, passes.
Speaker 2: Their game's over, Like, that's not the defense to play there.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just not because we've seen it too often, Bundy.
Speaker 3: The Lions thought the same thing because when you go
Speaker 3: forward on fourth down? What five times were they four
Speaker 3: or five on fourth down?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Four or five? So Chargers were three or three? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the combined they were seven of eight and the Chargers
Speaker 2: were three or three with three touchdowns on fourth down?
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 1: What a weird game.
Speaker 4: But the Lions.
Speaker 3: The Lions had no problem going forward on fourth down,
Speaker 3: and that has to be demoralizing for a defense when
Speaker 3: you know that the offense knows they're going to execute
Speaker 3: when it counts.
Speaker 4: How about this?
Speaker 2: I heard a weird one. I got a credit Scott Hansen.
Speaker 2: I ended up going over to NFL Network after the
Speaker 2: game because traffic was so bad, and DJ and I
Speaker 2: were hanging out there and Scott had just got off
Speaker 2: Red Zone and we were talking about the game, and
Speaker 2: he said, did you know the stat on on Dan
Speaker 2: Campbell for fourth down.
Speaker 4: I said, no, it is.
Speaker 2: You said, since Dan Campbell had been hired by the Lions,
Speaker 2: he has gone for it on fourth down coming into
Speaker 2: this game, right, So you add the four you had
Speaker 2: the five that he went forward here, So if you
Speaker 2: include the game against the Chargers, he has gone for
Speaker 2: it on fourth down one hundred and five times. It's
Speaker 2: not like the second place coach is not even near him,
Speaker 2: like that's that's his mo that's that's what he does.
Speaker 2: They just go forward on fourth down all the time.
Speaker 2: And my gosh, it has got to be embolding to
Speaker 2: you know, and empowering to that offense that he's got
Speaker 2: that sort of belief in you, and that's probably why
Speaker 2: they keep getting it.
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I know we got stuffed on the goal line last
Speaker 2: time on that fourth and goal, but whatever, let's do
Speaker 2: it again and again and again and again.
Speaker 4: And it's a really good offense.
Speaker 2: I don't want to pretend like, you know, they got
Speaker 2: forty one points because they're not good. They are, you know,
Speaker 2: they are a goal offense. But the defense didn't that.
Speaker 2: The defense did not play well. They didn't play well
Speaker 2: and man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, so I had some people I mentioned today because
Speaker 3: you know, you look at the playoff picture right now,
Speaker 3: I guess is Dorian Thompson Robinson now would be preparing
Speaker 3: for a postseason game, can he?
Speaker 1: Piket and CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's further proof that you can have
Speaker 3: a top five quarterback, but you got to play as
Speaker 3: a team, and you have to be sound in all
Speaker 3: three phases all the time.
Speaker 1: You got to play complimentary football every single week.
Speaker 3: And you know, for for all the heat that Matt
Speaker 3: Canada gets in Pittsburgh, they're six and three, right and
Speaker 3: uh and and they're they're kind of ascending a little
Speaker 3: bit more offensively. Defensively they're awesome. The Browns, their defense
Speaker 3: is carrying me every single week, every single week, you know.
Speaker 3: And and the Texans, you know, they've they've caught lightning
Speaker 3: in a bottle with their young quarterback and their defense,
Speaker 3: led by Demico Ryans uh is playing good football. So uh,
Speaker 3: it's it is a a reminder that you can have
Speaker 3: a quarterback, and a quarterback is going to keep you
Speaker 3: in games. Justin Herbert keeps them in games every single Sunday, Monday, night,
Speaker 3: Thursday night, whatever the day is.
Speaker 1: But this defense has got to show up when it matters.
Speaker 3: We're kind of beating the dead horse at this point,
Speaker 3: and I feel like we've gotten to the point of
Speaker 3: the season where it's just like you do kind of
Speaker 3: put your throw your hands up a little bit and say, hey,
Speaker 3: if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen now, and it
Speaker 3: has to happen against a good offense. And that's what
Speaker 3: we'll probably see in two weeks. Like, like you said,
Speaker 3: it won't even matter if they lose to Green Bay.
Speaker 3: They shouldn't lose the Green Bay in that offense.
Speaker 2: You know, So they should not lose a road game
Speaker 2: this year the rest of the year. Chris, that's that's like,
Speaker 2: that's the good news. You know, they are not playing
Speaker 2: any hug or not then versus Sending. Now you know,
Speaker 2: they are, no doubt, and that's a tough place to play.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. So that's that's a good point.
Speaker 2: They typically split with Denver every year they were as
Speaker 2: Sending their defenses finally coming around and starting to play
Speaker 2: well in advanced Joseph. The offense is doing just enough,
Speaker 2: you know, to balance it out. But you know, you
Speaker 2: got three road games against the Patriots, who I I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they're in a race to the
Speaker 2: bottom at this point, like, hey, we're out of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: clearly mac Jones is not the guy. He's been benched.
Speaker 2: Let's let's make sure we're in position, no doubt to
Speaker 2: get Drake may or Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4: Let's that.
Speaker 2: Let's let's see if we can get this day like
Speaker 2: that's I know it's not you know, no that they
Speaker 2: would never say that publicly. It's too tough of a
Speaker 2: game to to to wave a white flag like that.
Speaker 2: But so you've got them, You've got the Packers, who,
Speaker 2: like I said, they have just been anemic all season long. Uh,
Speaker 2: you ought to be able to take care of that obviously,
Speaker 2: the Raiders, I know, you know there it's the Jets
Speaker 2: and the Giants. This is that, this is where we're
Speaker 2: going to find out what they are. You know, they've
Speaker 2: got Dolphins, chiefs, Vikings, chargers like this is where it
Speaker 2: starts to get a little bit more tough for them.
Speaker 1: And then cigars maybe I don't know if they'll pack
Speaker 1: the cigars for the trip to Miami.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey, look, I hope it works. Knock them off.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Let let's let's teams with the lower with the with
Speaker 2: the less lower records, let's go take out the higher records.
Speaker 2: We're all about it. I hope they keep because they
Speaker 2: have a chance. The Chargers have a chance to sweep
Speaker 2: them then, So it's an opportunity. Certain we are Raider fans,
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Keep winning, man, you know at
Speaker 2: five and five's that's what we're all about. Don't let
Speaker 2: the teams that are seven and two and six and
Speaker 2: three keep piling up wins and pull continue to pull
Speaker 2: away from you. So you know that, and then you
Speaker 2: should win games at home, like you got to win
Speaker 2: these games at home. Lost to the Cowboys at home,
Speaker 2: lost to the Dolphins at home, lost to the Lions
Speaker 2: at home. Okay, now, beat some good teams at home.
Speaker 2: Beat the Ravens, beat the Bills, you know, win those
Speaker 2: two games. They got to go six and two. So
Speaker 2: that's the schedule, right. Your home games are the Chiefs
Speaker 2: in week seventeen, and who knows what that's going to
Speaker 2: look like, you know, if that's if they're still fighting
Speaker 2: for the one seed, or if the Chargers can crawl
Speaker 2: back into this thing. And maybe the Chiefs do have
Speaker 2: a couple slip ups, like they nearly did you know
Speaker 2: a we could go or whatever not before the bye.
Speaker 4: But like that's.
Speaker 2: So, that's one home game, right, you got the Broncos
Speaker 2: at home, and then you've got the Ravens and the Bills.
Speaker 2: So and I mentioned the road games save Denver, you're
Speaker 2: probably gonna be favored, and at least three of those
Speaker 2: four depending on how Denver plays, by the time we
Speaker 2: get there on New Year's Eve. Don't know what that's
Speaker 2: going to look like. It's it's there. It's not like
Speaker 2: it's not it's not the schedule. I think that the
Speaker 2: Raiders are staring at right if I'm trying to put
Speaker 2: it in perspective, like if I'm if I'm the Raiders,
Speaker 2: and I see, okay, we're five and five. How are
Speaker 2: we feeling, you know about going about going five and
Speaker 2: two the rest of the way, And I look at
Speaker 2: their schedule and I see, okay, at Miami, Kansas City, Minnesota, Chargers,
Speaker 2: at Kansas City at Indy, Like I'm like, okay, that's
Speaker 2: a little bit tougher to go five and two, you know,
Speaker 2: for the Chargers. You can make the six and two
Speaker 2: case right, like it's it's there to make the case
Speaker 2: of Okay, when at Green Bay win at New England.
Speaker 2: You know, now you're at seven. Where are your other three?
Speaker 2: Denver at Home? Now you're at eight. You know, at
Speaker 2: Denver at Raiders. Okay once like at one of those.
Speaker 2: Now you're at nine. And then can you get you know,
Speaker 2: the Denver Baltimore You know what can you win out
Speaker 2: of the Denver Baltimore cac Buffalo at home?
Speaker 4: Like it's there, you can see it.
Speaker 3: So you mentioned you mentioned the first potential gift, which
Speaker 3: is in New England, like you know, there's no reason
Speaker 3: to lose to that Patriots team. Week eighteen could be
Speaker 3: another gift the Chiefs County everybody, right, so that that
Speaker 3: could be your your second gift in the back half
Speaker 3: of the year. I just want to make this one
Speaker 3: point too, because we're going to talk about Baltimore obviously
Speaker 3: next week, because that's a huge game.
Speaker 1: They they score thirty eight points against the Lions two.
Speaker 3: The problem is they allowed six points to Detroit, right,
Speaker 3: So like I got to go back and look at
Speaker 3: that game further. I know that you know, playing in
Speaker 3: that in that environment, like Justin did a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago. It's not easy to go to Baltimore and
Speaker 3: win a game, but to beat them third thirty eight
Speaker 3: to six just makes you wonder, like, man, how did
Speaker 3: forty one points get put up on the Chargers on Sunday?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with Baltimore two, just kind of looking
Speaker 2: forward to that game, which we can do, they won't.
Speaker 2: What we can do is you know, Lamar his entire
Speaker 2: career has been apt to make a back breaking mistake
Speaker 2: late in a game. You know, he did it against Pittsburgh,
Speaker 2: and he did it again against Cleveland. They had that game,
Speaker 2: a game was one and he throws a pick six.
Speaker 2: You know, it's tipped at the line of scrimmage, so
Speaker 2: it's a little bit you know, different than just you know,
Speaker 2: freaking guiding one right between the numbers to the opponent.
Speaker 2: But still, you know, he threw that one across his
Speaker 2: body into the end zone. That should have been you know,
Speaker 2: a touchback, but there was penalty on that play. But like,
Speaker 2: Lamar gets a little wonky late in games. So and
Speaker 2: I bring that up just because the Chargers have been
Speaker 2: in all of these games. You know, there's one game
Speaker 2: this season that they weren't in and that's the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: you know, and that really was just one play, right,
Speaker 2: It was the fifty one yard punt return that made
Speaker 2: it a two score game that they couldn't overcome. But
Speaker 2: for the most part, for you know, three and a
Speaker 2: half quarters, that's a twenty four to seventeen game and
Speaker 2: they're they're fighting for it. So you know, Lamar, it
Speaker 2: can get a little loose with it if the game
Speaker 2: is tight. And so that I think is something to
Speaker 2: sort of think about. If the Chargers can keep this
Speaker 2: thing closed, can that defense, which has been very opportunistic
Speaker 2: last week, notwithstanding all season long at creating turnovers, then
Speaker 2: get back to it. So but again they've got to
Speaker 2: figure out a way to stop the run, you know.
Speaker 2: And yeah, like I think there's two ways to look
Speaker 2: at that Detroit game, and it depends, you know, how
Speaker 2: you want to do, because.
Speaker 4: Look, the explosives happen. They happened.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just a weird run by David
Speaker 2: Montgomery for seventy five yards where Kenneth just got sucked
Speaker 2: in and was supposed to mind that gap that he
Speaker 2: ended up finding. You know, he went to the wrong
Speaker 2: run fit He and Kendricks went to the same you know,
Speaker 2: to the same hole and had he just kind of
Speaker 2: stayed on that back side. That thing maybe goes for
Speaker 2: five yards, but it happened. But you look at the
Speaker 2: other runs, and they did a pretty good job on
Speaker 2: quite especially in the second half. They were really able
Speaker 2: to shut down that run game.
Speaker 4: So you know, maybe I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 4: what you take away from it.
Speaker 3: I wish, I wish the problem is like you know,
Speaker 3: it's like you could say, hey, we shut them down
Speaker 3: except for these two plays, but then those two plays count.
Speaker 4: Those two plays happened, and they count.
Speaker 3: The thirty five yard run by Jamiir Gibbs, count the
Speaker 3: forty six yard long by Aminas Saint Brown, the forty
Speaker 3: one yard from Khalif Raymond, so the twenty four yard
Speaker 3: from Gibbs to the air Sam Laporta for nineteen. I mean,
Speaker 3: just big plays all day and depending on when you
Speaker 3: guys are listening to this a huge game Thursday night
Speaker 3: between Cincinnati and Baltimore BEFO where the Ravens get a
Speaker 3: few extra days and come to LA. So you know,
Speaker 3: we should see kind of what that AFC North looks
Speaker 3: like entering that next week. But let's take a quick
Speaker 3: break and we will just touch on the packers for
Speaker 3: a bit, all.

Speaker 1: It's Green Bay Jordan Love versus Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks drafted in the first round twenty twenty they actually
Speaker 3: worked out together in Costa Mesa before the draft, so
Speaker 3: this will be another fellow rookie in that class that
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert will go up against for the first time.
Speaker 3: Losing to the Steelers twenty three nineteen last week, They've
Speaker 3: had some close games against the Raiders in Atlanta, and
Speaker 3: you know, they beat a Rams team with Brett Rippen
Speaker 3: and I forget who was even the I think it
Speaker 3: was Royce Freeman was the running back for the Rams
Speaker 3: that day. So they've gotten beaten pretty good at home
Speaker 3: by the likes of the Vikings and Lions in their division.
Speaker 1: Point blanket a game that they should win.
Speaker 2: So you know, just going through their schedules, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at it just off screen here. You know, this is
Speaker 2: very similar to the Jets and the Bears. Right here's
Speaker 2: the Packer point totals nineteen, twenty ten, seventeen, thirteen, twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: There's your last six weeks or seven weeks of games.
Speaker 2: You're talking about a team that struggles to score twenty
Speaker 2: one points. So it's it's an opportunity for the Chargers
Speaker 2: to get out there to put it on you know,
Speaker 2: to put it on them and something that we talked
Speaker 2: about with the with the Jets game and with the
Speaker 2: Bears game. Put your foot on their throat, get up
Speaker 2: two plus scores in the fourth quarter, and get some
Speaker 2: rest because again the schedule makers did them no favors.
Speaker 2: You know, how many mini buys can they face and
Speaker 2: how many full buys? You know, they're coming off a
Speaker 2: Monday night or the Lions are coming off of buye.
Speaker 2: They take on the Chiefs, who are coming off a
Speaker 2: minibi from Thursday night. Well, now they're going to take
Speaker 2: on the Ravens who are coming off a mini buy
Speaker 2: because they're playing, you know, Thursday night against the Bengals.
Speaker 4: So like, you know, try to this is this is
Speaker 4: not a good team. They're just not.
Speaker 2: They're not a good offensive team. The Chargers are. They
Speaker 2: are a good offensive team. They ought to be able
Speaker 2: to put up they're twenty five to thirty one points
Speaker 2: and try to do it quickly so you could get
Speaker 2: some guys some rest. Get Keenan out of the game,
Speaker 2: get Eckler out of the game, you know, get Joey
Speaker 2: and Khalil some rest so that in derwin, so they
Speaker 2: can gear up for what's going to be a very physical.
Speaker 4: Contest against the Ravens.
Speaker 2: I know that's you know, overlooking an opponent and belittling
Speaker 2: an opponent and stuff. But you're talking about nine games
Speaker 2: of a resume, you know, nine out of seventeen. We
Speaker 2: kind of know what teams are, right. So they they
Speaker 2: haven't run the ball well, they haven't thrown the ball
Speaker 2: well like they they haven't protected well, Jordan Love is
Speaker 2: not taking care of the football well, like there's just
Speaker 2: there's there's an opportunity there. The defense is still solid.
Speaker 2: It's still a pretty darn good defense. They rush the
Speaker 2: passer well. But like, I don't know, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what else to say other than I think
Speaker 2: this is one where I'm hoping you can have an
Speaker 2: eye on Sunday night against the Ravens and recognize, Okay,
Speaker 2: they're going to be on a ten day rest schedule.
Speaker 2: We're going to be on a seven day rest schedule,
Speaker 2: flying across the country on Sunday. Let's let's try to
Speaker 2: get these guys, you know, a blow for that fourth
Speaker 2: quarter if we can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we could talk about it. I hope they're
Speaker 1: not overlooking the Packers.
Speaker 4: I really hope. I don't think they will.
Speaker 3: They know, yeah, because because Jordan Love. Listen, it'll come
Speaker 3: down to turnovers. Can they turn the ball over? Can
Speaker 3: they get to Jordan Love. I think the Steelers only
Speaker 3: got to him once in that game, and he is
Speaker 3: he has had moments, right, he has had moments with
Speaker 3: his wide receivers. Musgrave has come on the rookie Jayden
Speaker 3: Reid had a forty six yard reception last week, so
Speaker 3: he can get the ball to his receivers.
Speaker 1: Now, you're right, they haven't scored any points this. This
Speaker 1: feels like a Tennessee like game. Like I think that
Speaker 1: they're up in class.
Speaker 4: Thrown ten picks. You know he's thrown ten picks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of likes.
Speaker 3: So so turn the ball over, So get the ball
Speaker 3: this This seems to me that it's Jordan Love is
Speaker 3: a step up in.
Speaker 1: Class from Bagent and Aidan O'Connell and for sure, right,
Speaker 1: so don't make him look even better than he is.
Speaker 3: I think that would be my only concern defensively, because
Speaker 3: they coming off that game, they're gonna have to bounce
Speaker 3: back in a big way because if they play like that,
Speaker 3: they will make Jordan Love look comparable to Jared Golf
Speaker 3: and that would spell bad news. That would mean that
Speaker 3: justin Herbert on the road at lambeau Field. I don't
Speaker 3: care if they're three and six or not.
Speaker 1: They're not. These teams are not as familiar with each other.
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this, Brandon Staley and Matt Lafleur
Speaker 3: know each other pretty well, especially in that playoff game
Speaker 3: a few years ago when Staley was the defensive coordinator too,
Speaker 3: So there is some familiarity there between those two guys.
Speaker 1: It'll be an interesting matchup.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a slam dunk game, and it
Speaker 3: obviously has to be a must win for the Chargers
Speaker 3: if we're going to continue to talk about these games
Speaker 3: down the stretch meaning something.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that's all I got. AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones.
Speaker 4: We know them money.
Speaker 1: They've struggled this year, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, under four yards per carry both of them. You
Speaker 2: got three touchdowns between them and nine games. The one
Speaker 2: thing that I'll say, because I wanted to make sure
Speaker 2: I was looking at the sack. He's only got ninety.
Speaker 2: He's only taking nineteen sacks this year in nine games,
Speaker 2: which is pretty solid, right, So you're talking about little
Speaker 2: over two sacks per game. And then you look at
Speaker 2: the old line. The old line's been good. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at pressures. You're talking about the two tackles
Speaker 2: only giving up twenty twenty pressures a piece.
Speaker 4: That's low.
Speaker 2: You know, your pressure rate is at five and six
Speaker 2: percent for your tackles, so they can protect him.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Now we'll see what that looks like and that you know,
Speaker 2: if I just go, let me see, let me clear
Speaker 2: it out to see what they did last week against
Speaker 2: you know, TJ. Watt and high Smith and yeah, Walker
Speaker 2: gave up five pressures and Tom gave up three pressures.
Speaker 4: So that's pretty darn good.
Speaker 2: You've got at Pittsburgh and you don't allow them to
Speaker 2: sack your quarterback and you know it's it's Watt and
Speaker 2: high Smith. That's pretty impressive. So that's gonna be the
Speaker 2: one thing, you know, if you want to circle, Hey,
Speaker 2: what where do we make our bones? Make your bones
Speaker 2: by getting to the quarterback. It's goot some pressure on them.
Speaker 2: Let's he's got ten picks to just fourteen touchdowns. He's
Speaker 2: completing just fifty eight percent of his passes. You know,
Speaker 2: try to get that. Let's let's get a return to
Speaker 2: the pressure that disappeared against the Lions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, amen to that.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do in Green Bay when you're
Speaker 1: up there.
Speaker 4: On Saturday night? You know what?
Speaker 2: I if I had to guess, you know, whenever I
Speaker 2: would call games in Green Bay when I was doing
Speaker 2: it nationally, I would stay in green Bay. But if
Speaker 2: I had to get I think the team stay in Appleton,
Speaker 2: if I remember right, So, I don't think it's going
Speaker 2: to be a night in green Bay. And since I've
Speaker 2: already been there a bunch of times, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't feel the need to kind of get in there
Speaker 2: and go check the town out and walk around. So
Speaker 2: if I had to guess, we're probably going to Appleton,
Speaker 2: is what my what what I'm assuming is going to
Speaker 2: happen Because it's an early one you know, it's that
Speaker 2: ten am Pacific. It's not the one PM where we're
Speaker 2: gonna have I'm gonna have to be up pretty darn
Speaker 2: early to get over to the stadium and stuff. So
Speaker 2: I'm guessing, you know, look around for a nice little
Speaker 2: spot in in Appleton to watch, you know, watch the
Speaker 2: uh some of these rivalry games this week Saturday night
Speaker 2: college football, some of the bigger games that are out
Speaker 2: there and see, you know, probably just hang around with DJ,
Speaker 2: eat some wings or some pizza. We had Tom Telesco
Speaker 2: on this week on Petro Some Money, like we do
Speaker 2: every week, and I had asked him what he was
Speaker 2: gonna do, if he was gonna eat some cheese, curds
Speaker 2: or brats, and he was like, it's just the most
Speaker 2: random answer. He's like, you know what, I'm a spaghetti
Speaker 2: and meatballs guy. I thought was just kind of weird.
Speaker 2: You know, It's like, Hey, I'm a steak guy. You know,
Speaker 2: I like, you know, I like seafood or something. It
Speaker 2: was not I like spaghetti and meatballs. But you know,
Speaker 2: his last name is Telesco, so you know he's leaning
Speaker 2: into his Italian heritage, I guess. But so maybe I'll
Speaker 2: go out with Tom and find some spaghetti and meatballs
Speaker 2: in Appleton.
Speaker 1: Get some endless pasta somewhere in Appleton.
Speaker 4: Exactly, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, Lebo's a bucket list item for for
Speaker 3: so many people, and I know there'll be a lot
Speaker 3: of Charger fans.
Speaker 4: There that have that have pud a trip well in advance.
Speaker 3: So it's it's one of those places where you walk in,
Speaker 3: You're like, Okay, this is this is history, this is
Speaker 3: this is what the NFL.
Speaker 4: Is all about.
Speaker 1: It should be fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, it's gonna do it for us, uh
Speaker 1: for money. I'm Chris.
Speaker 3: We'll see you next week as the Charges take on
Speaker 3: the Ravens. In the meantime, gotta get a win against
Speaker 3: the Pack.
Speaker 4: We'll see so
