- 0:00Speaker 1: I think it's fundamentals. I mean, I think close a
- 0:03Speaker 1: smart guy, like knowing the hot to playbook, knowing what
- 0:05Speaker 1: to do at each position. But the fundamentals you have
- 0:09Speaker 1: to get down pretty good to be able to move
- 0:11Speaker 1: that much in that fast too, like from week to
- 0:13Speaker 1: week to week. But he's got it. He's gonna hell
- 0:15Speaker 1: of the job, and he's will continue to get better.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I know you've been more locked in here, but in
- 0:19Speaker 2: your past you've been floating all over the place. I mean,
- 0:22Speaker 2: do you do you enjoy that the versatility or is it?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Is it really hard?
- 0:26Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 0:26Speaker 1: I think it's tough. I think there's some enjoyment. There's
- 0:28Speaker 1: some like fun aspects too. There's challenges that are enjoying.
- 0:33Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not right guard right now, and
- 0:34Speaker 1: it's been good.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, do you feel like you can settle in?
- 0:38Speaker 2: I mean, do you feel like you're settled in more
- 0:39Speaker 2: often than past seasons?
- 0:41Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely more often than the past season. That's just like,
- 0:43Speaker 1: continue to get better, continue to work to find your
- 0:46Speaker 1: groove and stay in it and keep it going.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The last one, what's to say about this group that
- 0:50Speaker 2: you can plug and play so many different guys and
- 0:53Speaker 2: have it at times issue.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty cool. I don't think it's super
- 0:56Speaker 1: common to have onlines that have a couple of guys
- 0:58Speaker 1: like the move spots relatively easily. To have a group
- 1:02Speaker 1: like that really just shows that the guys are bought
- 1:04Speaker 1: in and invested in, like putting the team above themselves,
- 1:06Speaker 1: which is great to see it. Thanks, Yeah, appreciate for.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Me just the I mean, you guys ran at forty
- 1:12Speaker 5: seven times last week. That as an offensive line has
- 1:15Speaker 5: to be what you guys are. Yeah, forty seven every week? Yeah,
- 1:18Speaker 5: to carry the momentum.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, no, it's great. I mean we as an offense,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we love to win and we love to score points.
- 1:23Speaker 1: And if that means running the ball or passing the ball,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and that's great. We found our groover throwing the ball
- 1:27Speaker 1: a little bit and whatever it takes to win, that's
- 1:29Speaker 1: what we want to do.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Give us the scattering report on Khalaias Campbell when.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You see he's great. I mean I was a teammate
- 1:34Speaker 1: with him, I played against him, he played here for
- 1:36Speaker 1: a long time, and he's a He's an all time great,
- 1:39Speaker 1: great person, great leader. He'll be a challenge, but I'm
- 1:42Speaker 1: excited about it.
- 1:43Speaker 3: What about his size is so challenging.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I mean, he's really long, he's really tall. He knows
- 1:48Speaker 1: all the moves. He's been in the league for a while,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and he does a good job of manipulating what the
- 1:52Speaker 1: offensive lineman thinks with his length and with his size,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and just take some patience and some aggressiveness too. But
- 2:00Speaker 1: he's a great player.
- 2:00Speaker 4: And I'll be good.
- 2:01Speaker 6: You know, our vets and have been doing it a while,
- 2:03Speaker 6: so we all get football and understand it. And I
- 2:06Speaker 6: tell Brendan all the time, I love the way he plays,
- 2:08Speaker 6: how he comes off the ball, and I think that like,
- 2:11Speaker 6: even though he's probably not vet As and far as
- 2:13Speaker 6: the years, I love the way he plays. And I
- 2:15Speaker 6: think that I've told him before that makes me want
- 2:17Speaker 6: to play harder coming off the ball, and so just
- 2:19Speaker 6: seeing how he strikes and stuff. So it's just kind
- 2:21Speaker 6: of the culture we're trying to build in the room.
- 2:23Speaker 7: We Eam said that Angelou is like one of the
- 2:26Speaker 7: best tight ends coaches he's ever worked with.
- 2:29Speaker 4: What is it about him that?
- 2:32Speaker 7: Where does he where does all that success kind of
- 2:34Speaker 7: come from?
- 2:35Speaker 3: Ys? I say it again.
- 2:36Speaker 7: So William Cohen said earlier today that you know you're
- 2:40Speaker 7: you're great, Angelou. I think, yeah, so he's one of
- 2:43Speaker 7: the best tight ends coaches that he's ever worked with.
- 2:46Speaker 7: You know, why do you think he's getting such praise,
- 2:49Speaker 7: I guess from.
- 2:49Speaker 8: The head coach.
- 2:50Speaker 6: I mean you can see as the you know, it's
- 2:53Speaker 6: again like you said, like there's no drop off the
- 2:55Speaker 6: tight end, Like that's kind of the culture that's been
- 2:57Speaker 6: built in the room.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Like if that's gonna be physical and.
- 2:59Speaker 6: They're going to strain, and you know, we love for
- 3:01Speaker 6: it to show up in the game and you know
- 3:04Speaker 6: that's gonna pop big runs.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Here's an idea of just your season overall, having to
- 3:09Speaker 5: get a kind of fight for it and the special
- 3:12Speaker 5: teams and up and down and finally.
- 3:13Speaker 6: Getting your chance to Yeah, I think that's one that's
- 3:17Speaker 6: something I've battled, you know, being an undrafted rookie, you know,
- 3:21Speaker 6: coming in when I was back in Buffalo, Like every
- 3:23Speaker 6: day you come in, you gotta work to stay. You know,
- 3:26Speaker 6: they're always bringing in guys. You know they replace you,
- 3:29Speaker 6: and you know that's just part of the league and
- 3:31Speaker 6: you know, you just got to.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Keep your head down, keep grinding.
- 3:34Speaker 6: And you know, we talked at the beginning of the
- 3:35Speaker 6: season when I was on practice squad and it just
- 3:38Speaker 6: you know, never changed the mindset, just gonna come in
- 3:40Speaker 6: and keep my head down, work and when that opportunity comes,
- 3:42Speaker 6: just be ready for it.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Is that somewhat personality of this football team too, you
- 3:46Speaker 3: oh for sure.
- 3:46Speaker 6: I mean we got a lot of young guys and
- 3:49Speaker 6: on this team, and it's that's just like every day
- 3:52Speaker 6: like they'll realize that, you know, next year there'll be
- 3:54Speaker 6: more guys coming in and that's just the mindset, like
- 3:57Speaker 6: there can't be no drop off, and it is they'll
- 3:59Speaker 6: put the next guy in there.
- 4:01Speaker 9: Talking to some people out in Arizona, they're excited to
- 4:03Speaker 9: see you. Obviously you spent your entire career out there.
- 4:06Speaker 9: What does it mean going back out to the desert
- 4:08Speaker 9: to take on the car and this on Sunday.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Another opportunity for a win.
- 4:13Speaker 8: Keep stacking w's for the Jags and uh on.
- 4:17Speaker 4: To the next one.
- 4:20Speaker 9: Third trip to the West coast as well. Already winter
- 4:22Speaker 9: around in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Obviously you guys
- 4:25Speaker 9: got the routine down. Now another trip out west. What's
- 4:28Speaker 9: your thought on Arizona this year? Obviously you know a
- 4:30Speaker 9: lot of those guys.
- 4:32Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, I mean a lot of new players, is
- 4:34Speaker 8: a new year, so I think to go in there
- 4:38Speaker 8: and be like, oh, I know, I know what they're
- 4:40Speaker 8: doing or I know the players of there's been a
- 4:44Speaker 8: lot of time and distancing between when I was there
- 4:48Speaker 8: and so it it's playing what I see, not not
- 4:52Speaker 8: what I think I know or what I think I'm
- 4:53Speaker 8: gonna see. It's just going out there and execute calls.
- 4:57Speaker 9: Final question for me, will it mean something to if
- 5:00Speaker 9: the fans give you a nice ovation I expected out
- 5:03Speaker 9: there with that means something to you personally?
- 5:05Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 5:05Speaker 8: I mean the fans always gave me more than I deserved,
- 5:09Speaker 8: so so yeah, that'll be pretty special.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Bens appreciate it awesome real quick.
- 5:15Speaker 5: But that that organization kept believing in you, the injury
- 5:18Speaker 5: stuff going on, that has to go a long way
- 5:21Speaker 5: for what they felt about you and the way you
- 5:24Speaker 5: feel about that that group.
- 5:25Speaker 8: Right, My wife's been trying to get me to talk
- 5:28Speaker 8: about feelings for a long time now.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, so today to day got it this defense.
- 5:36Speaker 3: So getting after the quarterback last week? What changed? What
- 5:40Speaker 3: was different?
- 5:41Speaker 5: Or is it just the mindset continuing to grow as
- 5:43Speaker 5: the year goes on?
- 5:45Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's just that that mindset and opportunity.
- 5:49Speaker 8: When opportunity meets preparation, it was awesome to see that
- 5:55Speaker 8: was last week. We're focused on Arizona this week, and
- 5:58Speaker 8: we're excited for the opportunity.
- 6:00Speaker 3: What's the challenge with Brissette?
- 6:01Speaker 5: I mean, obviously throwing at a bunch last week, completing
- 6:04Speaker 5: the bunch, trying to get back in that game, but
- 6:06Speaker 5: guy's been at it for a little while now in
- 6:07Speaker 5: the week.
- 6:08Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like, uh, he's fairly close to a
- 6:13Speaker 8: coach playing a position in terms of he knows the progression,
- 6:16Speaker 8: he knows exactly kind of where the read should be,
- 6:19Speaker 8: and his timing's impeccable, and then if it's not there,
- 6:22Speaker 8: he's got his checkdown and they've they've been able to
- 6:26Speaker 8: create quite a few yards on just checkdown plays and stuff,
- 6:31Speaker 8: just being able to kind of keep chunk chunking away
- 6:34Speaker 8: down the field.
- 6:36Speaker 5: We've seen Kalayis before, but just memories of that season
- 6:42Speaker 5: with Kalais from your first year in.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean Kalais was
- 6:49Speaker 4: a big, big influence in my career, coming in as
- 6:53Speaker 4: a rookie and being with a guy that's been playing
- 6:56Speaker 4: at a high level for so long, and that's I'm sorry,
- 6:59Speaker 4: and I wants to give the knowledge off and somebody
- 7:01Speaker 4: that you know, it's myself that wanted to receive it.
- 7:03Speaker 4: It was also to be a part of and I'm
- 7:05Speaker 4: very thankful for him. But being on the O opposite
- 7:07Speaker 4: side of 'em and playing against them, I.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Don't like it.
- 7:12Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't keep it at that.
- 7:15Speaker 8: How do you make sure that you guys keep the
- 7:17Speaker 8: standard of what you guys said last.
- 7:19Speaker 3: Week and gets the Chargers going as you get through
- 7:22Speaker 3: the last seven weeks.
- 7:23Speaker 4: I mean, I think it starts in practice. I think
- 7:25Speaker 4: that week started in practice. We didn't just wake up
- 7:26Speaker 4: Sunday was like we're gonna play as hard as we can.
- 7:29Speaker 4: You know, n no no respect. But it just start.
- 7:31Speaker 4: It started in practice. And I think today we had
- 7:33Speaker 4: a good focus. Coach Cohen took care of us today
- 7:36Speaker 4: on you know, having us with hats, take care of
- 7:38Speaker 4: our bodies, so talking about tomorrow and fly around. So
- 7:42Speaker 4: that's that's a plus. But today was was very focused.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Guys was locked in, Guys were communicating, and guys were
- 7:49Speaker 4: just doing what they were supposed to do. And so
- 7:50Speaker 4: that's a good start to the week, and then come
- 7:53Speaker 4: back tomorrow, get the game plan, practice fast and correct
- 7:58Speaker 4: man of the mistakes that we made in practice, move on
- 8:00Speaker 4: a Friday, and so on.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Tim Patrick said that is probably the most relatable head
- 8:05Speaker 2: coach he's played for.
- 8:08Speaker 8: But do you agree with that that he's pretty relatable and.
- 8:12Speaker 4: My yeah, yeah, of course. Uh, he's very communative. You know,
- 8:18Speaker 4: he can he you know, he definitely tells us the real,
- 8:21Speaker 4: uh every day, which is which I can respect good
- 8:23Speaker 4: or bad. Like I can respect somebody that's you know,
- 8:26Speaker 4: as a man giving me I don't like sugar coat
- 8:29Speaker 4: and I like, you know, paint blake and he gives
- 8:31Speaker 4: it to you straight. And you know, for me, I
- 8:34Speaker 4: I can't do nothing but respect that. So when he
- 8:36Speaker 4: talks with the conviction of when we lost it, when
- 8:38Speaker 4: we won, it's like, you know, it's coming from the heart,
- 8:41Speaker 4: and you know I respect that a lot. You know,
- 8:43Speaker 4: I've had a lot of coaches in my that was
- 8:46Speaker 4: so disrespectful. Jordan Lewis, Jordan Lewis through that had I mean,
- 8:49Speaker 4: can you believe that Jordan Lewis, Jordan Lewis you savage?
- 8:55Speaker 4: You savage? Yes, i'most i'm'a assume you. But yeah, I've
- 9:02Speaker 4: had a lot of coaches in my career here, and uh,
- 9:05Speaker 4: you know, he's definitely the youngest, Yeah, which kind of helps,
- 9:08Speaker 4: and so he kind of hopefully he he understands what
- 9:11Speaker 4: kind of we go through as young players, and and
- 9:14Speaker 4: he takes care of He takes really good care of it.
- 9:16Speaker 4: I know, he's probably the most he's probably the best
- 9:18Speaker 4: coach has to take care of our bodies throughout the
- 9:19Speaker 4: weeks on uh, seeing what we need, you know, the
- 9:23Speaker 4: flow of practice. How did that look? So he's definitely
- 9:26Speaker 4: taking care of us, and I it's the best I
- 9:27Speaker 4: felt going into a week thirteen twelve you know game. So, yeah,
- 9:35Speaker 4: you talked about the lays.
- 9:36Speaker 8: Now that you're one of the bets in the room
- 9:38Speaker 8: for two young defensive ends, what was it like just
- 9:40Speaker 8: for you from your perspective see them kind of make
- 9:42Speaker 8: the plays in it on Sunday when you went back and.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Wring, Yeah, I mean it was awesome, man, I just
- 9:46Speaker 4: cause I see them. I see the hard work they
- 9:47Speaker 4: put in every single day. Uh you know, those are
- 9:50Speaker 4: those are some rooks that know their role and that
- 9:52Speaker 4: and that just accepted that come in, take advantage of
- 9:54Speaker 4: every opportunity that they can, and uh, you know, wanna
- 9:57Speaker 4: make those plays soon as they get on the field,
- 9:59Speaker 4: Like they know they're not gonna get thirty forty to
- 10:01Speaker 4: fifty snaps a game. They know they may only get five,
- 10:03Speaker 4: they may get ten, they may get three. That every
- 10:06Speaker 4: opportunity that they do get out there, they're gonna make
- 10:07Speaker 4: the best of it. And and it's showing. Uh So
- 10:10Speaker 4: hopefully they continue to to play more and we get
- 10:13Speaker 4: a we get a good better trotrace going cause to
- 10:15Speaker 4: get them to play in and uh play fast, physical
- 10:19Speaker 4: and wheland was every t like they always done.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Would you even wanna play as long as plays?
- 10:26Speaker 4: If I'm getting paid and I and I have VET
- 10:29Speaker 4: days like he has, I don't think play his practice anymore,
- 10:32Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So yeah, I would definitely
- 10:35Speaker 4: do it. I don't know. My wife will one me
- 10:37Speaker 4: two seventeen a year. That's seventeen days a year. Yeah, yeah,
- 10:42Speaker 4: I say probably like twenty three. He'll probably do a
- 10:44Speaker 4: play here and there. But yeah, when you get yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 4: especially played with his back, you know what I'm saying,
- 10:49Speaker 4: he got excuses to it. He can take allfing stuff so, uh,
- 10:53Speaker 4: but much respect to him, it's hard to do that.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Mercedes got Mercedes Lewis is doing the same thing. You
- 10:58Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. He got Aaron Rodgers quarterback. Different position.
- 11:01Speaker 4: But you know, kickers that are fifty years old, you
- 11:06Speaker 4: know that don't practice. That's what it is, you don't practice.
- 11:12Speaker 2: He's still playing. I mean, he's no.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Man. The conversations that we've had when he was here
- 11:17Speaker 4: about what he wants at this point of his career.
- 11:20Speaker 4: You know, he wants to see his kids, you know,
- 11:23Speaker 4: watch him play, to be up there when he makes
- 11:25Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl, when he is off Pro when he's
- 11:27Speaker 4: around the guys, being in the locker room like those
- 11:29Speaker 4: are the memories that he wants his kids to have.
- 11:31Speaker 4: And you know, his son's old enough to kind of
- 11:33Speaker 4: start to be around the guys and understand what he does.
- 11:37Speaker 4: And he's I know Kalay's is living that up right now.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Is there a.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Really singular thing that you still have Kalais in your
- 11:44Speaker 2: mind sometimes when you're working out, you're practicing anything. I mean,
- 11:48Speaker 2: is there anything that he.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Taught you that will kay of comes there? Okay? Uh yeah, man,
- 11:54Speaker 4: I remember he was wearing that weird Brent. That was
- 11:57Speaker 4: getting me a little bit, but uh, yeah, it could
- 12:01Speaker 4: be me. I'm the problem.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I was on your way.
- 12:04Speaker 4: He took a Greek. Yeah, but nah, I got what
- 12:08Speaker 4: you're saying at the end of the day. But yeah, though,
- 12:11Speaker 4: I remember coming into uh, you know, the preseason, last
- 12:15Speaker 4: preseason game, I got I had a cast on my hand,
- 12:17Speaker 4: broke my hand or something. I don't remember. I broke
- 12:19Speaker 4: my hand, I had a cast on, and I wasn't
- 12:21Speaker 4: playing like well. And he kind of sensed that about
- 12:26Speaker 4: me going into that game. And then I remember just
- 12:28Speaker 4: sitting on the bus, he looked back at me and
- 12:30Speaker 4: was just like, Josh, if he was a dog in college,
- 12:33Speaker 4: you can be a dog in the league. And then
- 12:35Speaker 4: it took those words to realize, like, damn, you're right.
- 12:39Speaker 4: And then I just went crazy that game. And then
- 12:41Speaker 4: that kind of propelled me to the rest of the season,
- 12:43Speaker 4: starting against Kansas City, knowing I like, I'm finna whoop
- 12:47Speaker 4: the guy in from uh Eric Fisher or whoever the
- 12:49Speaker 4: tackles was, And I went out there and proved it.
- 12:52Speaker 4: And then that gave me even more confidence, uh to
- 12:55Speaker 4: go out there and to play fast weekend and week out.
- 12:58Speaker 3: It's the pin these against the series on offense.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Yeah, they got a bunch of backup guys go and
- 13:03Speaker 5: banged up with a backup quarterback.
- 13:06Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, not dumb, bro. The disrespect, no respect,
- 13:19Speaker 4: you have the sack record, no respect. They don't love
- 13:22Speaker 4: me here. But uh you see they quiet down. Yeah yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 4: I asked that question again. I'm sorry, Okay, yeah, yeah,
- 13:30Speaker 4: I got to stop the run. Stopping the run. Obviously,
- 13:34Speaker 4: they have forty seven attempts, uh, forty seven completions out
- 13:37Speaker 4: of fifty three attempts, which is very impressive, no matter
- 13:41Speaker 4: win or loss like that. Just that's like Miles Garret again,
- 13:44Speaker 4: five sacks and losing game. It's like it's so impressive.
- 13:46Speaker 4: But like you know, you know what I'm saying. So
- 13:48Speaker 4: it's very impressive that you can be able to do
- 13:50Speaker 4: that and complete as when he passes. So we have
- 13:54Speaker 4: to know how they did it, why they did it
- 13:57Speaker 4: they kind of it's kind of it's weird because when
- 13:59Speaker 4: I see it, I don't know if nobody else seen it,
- 14:01Speaker 4: But when I first saw the tape on Sunday, I
- 14:03Speaker 4: started watching it with Sunday so I can kind of
- 14:05Speaker 4: flush it all and get reset. They kind of reminded
- 14:09Speaker 4: me of the Houston game. You know, they're off how
- 14:12Speaker 4: they did their offense. It's like they were down, but
- 14:15Speaker 4: they were still in h the heavy personnelse still drop
- 14:18Speaker 4: back passing, I mean still you know, play action passing
- 14:21Speaker 4: and passing while they were down, Like they didn't truly
- 14:23Speaker 4: get to throw open, got to score, got to move
- 14:25Speaker 4: the ball down the field until the last couple of
- 14:27Speaker 4: minutes to the fourth quarter. So we have to play
- 14:30Speaker 4: sound football up to that point if we're up by
- 14:32Speaker 4: who knows how many, or we're down, like, we have
- 14:34Speaker 4: to play sound football until it's time to like, all right,
- 14:38Speaker 4: now they're abandoning the run. Now we can drop back.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Now they're not chipping me, cause I'm expecting chips and others.
- 14:43Speaker 4: So I have to get my mind right and adapt
- 14:46Speaker 4: to the calls that we're doing. So and I kind
