Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Late fifteen to ten touched up.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's Up?

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Guys, Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly,
presented by Splittero as always, joined by the Voice of
the Chargers, Matt Muney Smith. I'm Chris Hayry and Buddy
a little shell shocked. Just coming off the field. Did
not look good.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Rashaun Slater goes down on a cart and you know,
I hate.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
To speculate, but I just know looking at Rashawan and
the optics did not look good.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
No, it's a bummer, man, and I'm sure it's gonna
come through. In the pod, you're talking about what I
believe is the best player on the team. I think
when you just talk in relation to the position across
the league, that Rashaun Slater's in the conversation as the
best left tackle in football. You know, is he the best?
I'm sure others would say Trent Williams or trust Tristan,

(00:56):
but he's in the conversation. I mean, he's and to
be able to put him on an island and not
have to worry about sending any help over there. We
know how good that left side of the line has
been year and a year out with Slater running the
ball to the left and then you know, to not
have like you said, don't want to speculate, but here's
kind of the way I saw it unfold. The way

(01:16):
that we're you know, as we're taping this right after
it happened, is it was it was a seven on
seven drill, but it was it was three offensive linemen
versus two defensive linemen. And I do I believe it
was Bozeman's Ion Slater, if my mind served my memory
serves correct. And Slater just went down like just kind
of and I don't know if he wasn't expecting the

(01:37):
engagement from the defensive player, or if Zion might have
leaned into him a little bit. Somebody something happened to
his left leg where he just went down immediately. And
I think we've been around sports long enough to be
able to read people's body language. He was very upset.
I think it's just I'm not going to speculate on
what the injury is as we're taping this. You'll probably

(01:58):
know by the time you see it. But he's very emotional.
He threw his helmet, he pounded the back of the cart.
I mean, it was a you know, you could hear
that bang ring throughout training camp, every player came up,
gave him a hug, and then he just immediately sunk
his head and threw a towel over his face and
had to be helped into the locker room. And we

(02:20):
know how much he loves to compete, how many injuries
he's played through in his career. He's an absolute, you know,
to use the term warrior. He's one of those guys
that plays through anything and everything to be out there
to protect Justin's blindside and man for it to be
a seven on seven drill on August seventh. It's a

(02:41):
real gut punch.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Complete air out of Elsagunda, that entire field and the
fans watching. And this was supposed to be a celebratory day.
Keenan Allen back in powder blue, and you know the
crowd was into it, a lot of pops for number
thirteen and then you know it was hot out there
today too, you see, and Branson Taylor, the rookie, he
went down earlier in practice as well.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
But when number seventy.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Goes down, it completely changes everything that you want to
do offensively. This was probably the best tackle duo in
football when you combine Alton Slater and just what they
were doing in the trajectory that they had, and now
there's just a lot of questions as to A, how
do you replace him in the short term and b
what do you do in the long term in an

(03:28):
effort to get ready for Brazil and just the combination
of the offensive line. That was the one thing that
I think it is just so frustrated right now Mondy
because a just as a guy.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
You just you really feel for Rashawn May's.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
He's a great dude, highest of character, and just somebody
that this team relies.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
On year in a year out. That was the constant.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
We knew it was gonna be Alton Slater, we knew
it was going to be Becton at right guard. You know,
it sounds like, you know, that was something we were
going to get into today with Zion and Bozeman, seems
like they're part of the best five. Has it changed
the way that we look at the offensive line right now?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Well, to me, that's that's the big question. You know
that you're going to have to dig into with with
Joe Ortiz, you know, the Geordie's and Jim Harbor gonna
have to dig into with coach Devlin, with coach Hardwick
and try to figure out does it make more sense
to move Joe to the to the left side and
drop Trey at right tackle or does it make more

(04:24):
sense to keep Alton beckeding together on that right side
and drop Trey back at the left tackle position next design.
I think that's ultimately And look, this is a reminder,
you know, when we were doing when they were dipping
into free agency and everyone was trying to figure out
can we get more money, how do we get DeVante
that sort of thing, and a lot of people were asking,

(04:44):
why don't you just dust Trey and that nine million
bucks and that can maybe get you to a spot
where you can go get and we kept pointing out like, look,
you you want depth on the offensive line, man, you
do not want to mess around if one of these
tackles goes down. And now, I mean, think about the
position they would be in right now if they had

(05:05):
cut Trey Pipkins, you know. And so I think it's
that's why you need that swing tackle to be able
to account for an injury like this. So that, to
me is probably what's going to be the most interesting
is do they want to break up the mountain on
the right side of the line, to put Joe at
left tackle, where obviously he played at Notre Dame and

(05:27):
was great against the Raiders, and that Week eighteen contest,
or do you just put Trey back at left tackle
and whor's Jamari saw you're in that COMPETI conversation.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Go back to twenty twenty two when saw you're fielding
very admirably for Slater on that left side. I think
it was twenty twenty two. It was, Yeah, when Slater
went down, and that's he was a rookie. Yeah, he
was a rookie, and that's a guy that we've we've
heard coach Harbaugh and company talk about just coming into
camp in really good shape and maybe another option on
the outside, Pipkins. I feel like it would be natural

(05:59):
to it came out to right tackle, bring All to left.
But again, like you said, it kind of breaks that up.
But we saw All at the end of last year
play left tackle. I believe was that Raiders game Rashaun
did not play in, so that's natural for him, Like
you said, he did it at Notre Dame. You know,
there's no silver lining to this, Okay, let me just
say that. When I say that, at least there are
three weeks for Joe to see what's out there.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
The problem is we're just kind of there's time on this.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
There's never tackles.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
There's never tackles unless you are giving up an elite
player on your football team to get one if there's
a surplus. But nobody's given them away tackles in August.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
No, And the only reason why Trent Williams got traded
is it was a contract impass.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
That was Washington.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, they didn't want to pay him, and he demanded
a trade and they traded him, and it proved to
bite him in the tail because he's still arguably the
best left tackle in football and has been for that
half decade, and so that was a rare occasion. Now, look,
Tunsel just got traded, you know, back to from Houston
to Washington to Washington's so like it can happen. There

(07:02):
was you know, and he was traded from Miami to
Houston when he was in the conversation, is one of
the best left tackles in football, So like, can it happen? Yes,
when you just paid the guy, that's the thing, the contract.
It's hard to now take on money and someone who's
proven like that. That's the other issue is you're now
you know it would have to be a short term.

(07:23):
It's just yeah, it's it's not I wish, I wish
I had answers. I just I keep having, you know, unfortunately,
to have your eyes on it and to see how
upset Tray was or to how upset Rashawn was on
the back of that cart, it just leaves a lasting impression.
That's that's such a bummer, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was just I was thinking about this drive it
in today. Just how different the offense looks right now
compared to in that wildcard game in Houston, and you
know the constants again where Rashawn and Joe. I mean,
you look at all across the offense that there was
really no running game two point nine yards to carry,
You're bringing Nause, bringing Amarion.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
There's just so many more weapons on the outside.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
The one kind of question in that Houston game was
the interior offensive line. So now that's still a bit
of a question going into this season.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
With center and left guard.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
It looks like Bradley and Zion right now, or as
I mentioned earlier, one of the five best according to
coach Harball. Now you have a kind of a cloudy
situation at left tackle. Justin has played with offensive lines
that you know, remember I remember his rule.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
It's funny, Chris, you're reading my mind. I'm going to
it right now, because look, you're talking about a guy
that put up nearly five thousand yards his rookie season,
as I'm going to it with an offensive line that
was Sam Tevey, Forrest Lamp, Dan Feeney, Trey Turner, and
Brian Bloga. None of them are in the league anymore.

(08:56):
Brian Beloga was on active retirement at right tackle and
stealing I shouldn't say that. Trey Turner and Dan Feeney
for a slam, I mean forgive us, yeah, I mean
he you know, those guys, like I said, they're not
in the league anymore, and that's playing behind that that line.

(09:16):
Justin Herbert put up the best rookie season by a
quarterback ever. So I think it probably Greg Roman. This
is where he comes into play. This is where Shane
Day comes into play. Where all of these coaches and
it's one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL. Okay,
we have to adjust now, we've got to adjust what
we want to do with our offense. If Slater's not

(09:39):
out there, and now you've got to send protection over there,
or if you just want to put alt on that
side and treat him like Slater and Alts on an island.
We trust that he's going to do what we saw
for the majority, if not all, of last year. And
then you send your help to the other side, to
Trey and and that's where you'll see Will Disley and
Tucker Fisk and Scott Matt Locke line up, and that's
where your pass pro is going to be on your

(10:00):
running back side. And then you adjust, you know, you
adj justin and you move forward.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
This happened forty minutes ago. Just you know, if you're
watching this on a Friday, we're taping this forty minutes
after this happened. So our rundown completely blown up. By
the way, KeAndre Lambert Smith is going to join us,
I wanted to mention that at the good time with him. Yeah,
that's gonna be good. But again, this was supposed to
be a celebration of Keenan Allen coming back to the
Chargers and talking to KOs and just about his really

(10:28):
strong camp so far and what he did in the
Hall of Fame game, and now you know you're always
presented with curveballs in the preseason and training. Canva injuries
are inevitable in the NFL. And the fact that it
happened in a seven on seven drill versus a preseason game,
it's just it's it's a violent game, and it just, man,

(10:48):
it just really sucks to have one of the best
players on this football team, with so much prime in
front of them, have this happen to him.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, and again just to kind of highlight, you're talking
about a forty three hundred and thirty six yard passing
season in fifteen games. Remember he didn't come in until
Week two. Week one in Cincinnati was Tarad Taylor completes
has thirty one touchdowns to just ten interceptions and a
QB rating of ninety eight point three. That is his

(11:18):
second best quarterback rating of his career. Was that rookie
season behind that line, and completed sixty seven percent of
his past his highest, his second highest completion rate.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
It was the best rookie quarterback season ever.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Yes, I mean saved Jayden Daniels last year, ye who
carried his team to this numbers and were better than
Jadon during the regular season, though, but I mean it
was so what I'm saying is like he can do it.
Herbert can operate behind an offensive line that is not elite,
and and look, Joe Alt's elite, So you're still going

(11:52):
to have an elite left tackle. And now it's a
question as to whether or not, you know, those five
pieces can coalesce here. You know, we're it's August seventh,
The Chiefs game is September fifth. You've got plenty of
time to find that right combination to get this thing rolling.
And look, you can if you can run block, you
can get that running game going, and now your play

(12:13):
actions working. And we know that Greg Roman's got a
lot better options at tight end this season than he
did last season, and that's always been a big part
of what he's done. And I think, you know, you
might see a lot more. I think if you talk
about roster construction, you're probably talking about Tucker Fisk now
being a lock to make this team, I would think,
and I always kind of thought he was, But you're
gonna he's a great block. He and Will Disley are

(12:35):
great and Matt Locke that trio together was fantastic last year,
and so I think you're gonna see him be a
big part of this and helping out either at that
fullback position or at the tight end position attached to
the line to help out one side. And that's just
the way they'll have to adjust.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, that tight end room has never been more important.
Now you mentioned those names and getting Disley back to
being a.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
He's such a great blocker, he was relied upon. I mean,
I go back to that Houston game, Tucker Fisket, Well,
just they we're catching balls.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Now you have Conklin, you have Ronde Gatz, and we'll
see what he looks like in the preseason. So something
to look for over the next couple of weeks is
A how are they going to fill it internally?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
And B what is Joe Wortez? What can he do?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Kind of surveying the landscape of the other thirty one
NFL teams and figuring that out and seeing if there's
a guy that maybe they can identify as somebody who's
who's started in the past that at least provides depth
to maybe some of the guys who are currently on
the roster. It's just a lot of a lot of
questions right now, money, anything else before we kind of

(13:41):
shift to Keenan.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah, I'm just seeing if anybody is still available. And
it like, you know, obviously you've got guards available and
sheriff and Will Hernandez. But as far as the tackle market,
I mean, you're talking about Dan Moore getting eighty two
million dollars, you know, you're talking about Jalen Moore getting
you know what, thirty million dollars. Cam Robinson, like those guys,

(14:04):
they just go off the market, even guys that have
tough seasons. They're like, let's get him in, see if
we can coach him up. That's how high demand tackles are.
So it's it's pretty hard to find one one out
there unless a team, you know, like we said, is
just dealing with a contract potential upcoming contract situation. But

(14:26):
I think moving forward to put the positive spin on it,
it's why you keep Trey. You know, Trey's a starter
in this league. Treys has played solid tackle. You mentioned
Jamari Sawyer his his rookie season playing at at a
solid you just need. It's great to have elite at
offensive line, you just need solid. You can't have bad.

(14:46):
If you can have solid across the line, you can win.
If you have bad, that's when you find a soft spot.
A defense finds a sauce spot, relentlessly attacks and it's
hard to overcome that. And I think if you look
at the char Arrest roster, they have solid I think
either Sawyer or Pitt can be solid in those positions,
along with some of the best, if not the best

(15:08):
blocking tight end room in the league.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
All Right, let's shift our focus. Let's get positive to
the wide receivers room. This was supposed to be the
start of the podcast. Keenan Allen is back. Got a
big pop out there his first practice at the bolt
Wearing that powder blue looked very familiar money. And you know,
we we didn't talk much about Keenan of the last
few weeks because we thought that they were just going

(15:31):
to kind of keep this room as is. But that
sudden retirement of Mike Williams, I think kind of opened
up a spot. And although there is a degree of
repetitiveness between lad and Keenan, I mean I looked at
this is one of the things I looked at this morning,
just the third down conversion rates during the Justin Herbert
Era right. In twenty twenty, they were tenth in third

(15:54):
down conversion twenty one, three, twenty two, eight, twenty three, sixteen.
But you know, keep in mind the last four or
five games of that season, yes, a disaster and Justin'
even play.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
So the common theme to that was Keenan Allen.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know last year they were thirteenth in third down
conversion and no, just the fact that Keenan can get
open and lad can get open. I do think it
creates mismatches on third down. I think the addition of
Tyler Conklin in that mix gonna give Justin a lot
more opportunity to get the ball out.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Of his hands quickly.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah. Look, we talked about this when Mike went down.
Or are they gonna go get Amari Cooper? Are they
going to sign Gain Gave Davis? Might they trade for
Scary Terry? You know? And I think we were correct
in our assessment that we said no. I think they're
gonna give the guy the kids a look and see
if these rookies can flash enough, which they have been,
which they have been. But I also think, like today

(16:50):
we saw Trey make a beautiful back of the end
zone over the shoulder catch on a go ball from Justin.
I mean, he just talked about concentration, did it. I
think it was cam Hart who they were fighting, hand
fighting the whole way down the right sideline and was
able to get that last burst of separation. It's beautiful play.
And that's what we saw on Sunday as well. Had

(17:11):
a heck of a practice. Monday had some drops had
and I think kind of what we've seen from both
the rookies is a rookies and there's just not that
consistency day after day after day after day where it
looks the same like it looks when Keenan's out there,
like it looks when Lad mcconkey's out like when you
see Ladd at practice every single day, you're like, they
got one of them, they got a true number one receiver.

(17:32):
And I think it's normal for a rookie like to
place these expectations on rookie receivers. Remember, it used to
take two three years for rookie receivers to get settled
and to get comfortable, and now that whole thing's just
been blown to heck because of some of these rookie
campaigns by Jamar Chase and Malik Neighbors and like, these
guys that are sensational have kind of changed the expectation

(17:54):
level for rookie and Lad for that matter. You know,
when you put together a season like that, that's just
what you think it's supposed to look like. But really
the norm is a little bit more like Marvin Harrison
Junior in Arizona, where everyone was so upset and it's
like guy had eight hundred and fifty yards and nine touchdowns.
I mean that's a pretty darket. So I think what
I'm getting at is, I think they wanted some consistency.
They wanted to make sure, you know what you're opening

(18:15):
with the Chiefs then, than the Raiders, than the Broncos.
Let's make sure we have what we think is a
guarantee a high floor. Let's get that high floor. And
that's what you're gonna get with Keenan and Ladd out
it Keenan, Ladd and Q out there, you know, as
opposed to Ladd Q and pick your rookie wide receiver,
you know, because there's just it's the unknown, it's Brazil,

(18:35):
it's it's national television, it's you know, the Chiefs, and
and so I think the keenan thing makes a lot
of sense on that front.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
It does, And you know, his numbersformed actually bad last year.
He was he was hurt for a little time, and
it was it was kind of a disaster situational offensively,
when you know, I think he had two or three
different offensive play callers last year. And you know, keep
in mind a couple of years ago he caught one
hundred and six balls for over twelve hundred yards in
seven touchdowns. So he was putting a wide receiver one numbers.
In twenty twenty three, with Justin Herbert as his quarterback,

(19:05):
he's not going to be asked to do that.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Ladd'll be number one. I think, I really do think
Q is going to continue to ascend. I like what
I've seen Trey Harris had a couple of really nice balls.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, that's what I'm man like. That's what it's been
for him and kalas Like they've had really, really great
days and then they've had rookie days.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
So it's it's a combination of maybe being a little
bit of an insurance policy fort I mean, Lad hasn't
practiced in a couple of weeks too. We should make
you know, Becton hasn't practice either, which is another thing
we didn't play out with regards to the offensive line.
But I think it's a you could play Ladd and
Keenan on the field together on third down and and
b if Ladd were to go down or vice versa,
you have that guy who can play that true slot.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah. Look, I just just look at the splits. I
mean you're talking about, you know, guys that have been
effective in both spots. For certain you know, Ladd was
incredibly effective lining up outside, but he was more effective
in the slot. Keenan Allen effective outside, more effective in
the slot. So that's you want to put players in
the position to perform at their best, and I think

(20:08):
that's where each of them perform at their best. One
I'll be interested to see is if Greg Roman gets
creative and you start seeing, you know, both of them
in the slot where Keenan takes that tight end spot
you know from Tyler, and instead of it being instead
of it being a Rendez gaztent er Tyler Conklin out there,
it's Keenan and Ladd both in that slot position. And
I could see that being the case. And look, just

(20:29):
going back to our initial conversation about how do you
adjust with the loss of for Shaan Slater, you know
who's better at quick game than Keenan? I mean, who
who dusts his guys on the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's a perfect segue to what just happened.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, exactly. It's like he gets open right away, lad
gets open right away. You can build your offense around
that and on yak and just get that thing moving
if you have an effective running game, and that can
work as well. But I think to me, like one
of the more interesting things is also, you know what's
this going to look like on game day? Because I
can't imagine they're going to keep six receivers active on

(21:03):
game day?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Like that's well, I mean, do you count Darius Davis?

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah, six receives, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
So we already have and we've talked about Rager and Rice.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
In some of these other guys that I mean, I'm
just talking about, Like, I think that's that's a different
conversation about how that might work for the room with
the addition to Keenan. But for me, it's like if
you have Q, Keenan, ladd Darius, right, and then you're
gonna have between Trey and KLS, I think will be
that fifth receiver. It's hard to carry six receivers on

(21:33):
game day when you need depth in the secondary, depth
on the defensive line.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
You know, who's the sixth receiver.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
So that's the question. I think that's now what becomes
an intense competition. I think between these two rookies when
it comes to who's going to be active on game
day and which one of the two fits into that
room better. You know, we always talk about those because
that's why they call it a basketball team, because usually
have five guys that are active on you know, so
build your basketball team. Who's my power forward, who's my

(22:00):
point guard, who's my shoot you know, who's my volume shooter?
Kind of So that's that to me, is going to
be interesting how this thing shakes out.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
I argue that I think the biggest winner in all
of this is both Trey, Harris and KLS because the
amount of attention that Keenan and Ladd present to the defense,
especially KLS with that four to three seven speed. I mean,
you know, Justin will find you. If you're one on
one and you beat your man, Justin will find you.
Seame with Trey Harris, So I think a learning from

(22:28):
Keenan in the room, but also just having that extra
veteran who knows this. And you bring up a good
point about brazil Man, like you want a guy who's
been there with those bright lights on them. The one
thing I will say is, as familiar as it looks
to fans, this is unfamiliar to Keenan, Like he has
never practiced at the Bowl, he has never had this

(22:48):
coaching staff as his coaching staff. There's been a lot
of turnover even from last year's roster to this year's roster,
so a lot of new guys still going to take
some time I think for Keenan to really kind of
integrate into this team.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, well, I think the most important connections there though,
right it's justin Herbert. Yeah, and we know those guys
were special together. So I think that at least you know,
I know where you want me to be. He knows
where you're going to be, and that's why I'm going
to throw the ball with anticipation and expect you to
be there. I'm like, that's the most important part of it.
But I do think it probably adds some new wrinkles
and a new approach to Greg Roman's playbook when you

(23:23):
have those two guys that are most effective from the slot,
and how you want to build that out, particularly on
third down. So it's it's exciting to see him out there.
It's exciting to see the fans, you know, when he
was just running routes on the more and people cheering,
it was a real It was a great start to
practice today with Keenan out there, having a bounce in
his step and catching passes from Justin Herbert. So there's

(23:45):
some positive.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
By the way, there's also a game on Sunday that
we haven't even discussed before we get to KLS. Let's
just maybe give us a ten thousand foot view of
what we're expecting Sunday.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think quarterback competition.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
You think the depth chart came out and said trade
Lance or Taylor Heinez.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
You didn't say, no, that's a competition. Yeah, it's a competition.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
That's a full flaw. And I think I think you're
probably looking at a I think you're probably looking at
a two quarterback team. I think now you know last
year they carried three. If I had to guess, I
would think it's probably two moving forward, So that's something
to keep an eye on. I think the other I
think the other position groups. You saw what Nico Reid
did out there, You saw what Myles Purchase did out there.

(24:23):
I think the secondary is incredibly competitive. Are they going
to carry five safeties? You know, Tony Jefferson is so
important in that room, had an interception in the Hall
of Fame game, So I think that's the question. You know,
if it's Derwin, Aloie, Elijah and and Mickens, you know
who's played really well and his looks to be maybe
a special team or potential core four guy, and and

(24:45):
then is that fifth guy going to be Tony? So
that's keep an eye I thought Caleb Murphy played great.
He did that in that Hall of Fame game, and
we know this coaching staff is familiar with them practice.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Where did he go to school?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Again?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
It was it Farris.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
It was like their Division two had like twenty five
sacks or something senior year exactly.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
So, and I think you need that special team or
you need that Chris Rump special teamer two ley two
polo two special teams slot filled for the four core guys.
And and I think Caleb's shown that he can be
that guy. So that's something to keep an eye on.
We're going to.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
See Chris Rump, Kellen Vore, old old Chargers coaching staff.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
The offensive line.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
It looks like so Zion had that that one snap,
but for the most part, it seems like.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
He botched exchange. He had a high and he had
a high snap. Look. I think they just want to
get this thing moving, and it's like, and I thought
he blocked well. I thought he blocked really well in
that game, and when we talked about it, you know
that Friday after the game. So but I think they
just want to get it settled. And now it's going
to have to be settled on a different sort of
front with the loss of Slater.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
So defensively, Kyle Kinard it looked like he was off
to the side today as well as Junior Colson. Colson
played well into the second half. Good to have den
Zel back. But as far as the linebacker room, we
know what Dayon and Denzel provide. I think if Junior
can play Sunday, big spot for him.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, for sure. I mean he played the second most
snaps of any player, and I think that tells you
that this coaching staff wants to see it. They're like,
you know, you got put behind the eight ball last year,
Let's see it. I thought there were some really good
from Junior had a great tackle for loss. I think
there was some things that he's got to clean up,
kept kind of getting sucked in on some of those
pass plays that went to the outside. So I think
they'll probably want to see a little more from him

(26:26):
as well, because right now I think we've seen your
starters are probably Denzel and day On and it's been
Troy Die who's been that third linebacker as it stands
right now. So look, this team is deep, which is
what makes these preseason games fun because you've got guys
playing that are going to get that are going to
be in the rotation on Sundays. We know how Jesse
Minner likes to rotate these guys, and I would suspect
you're gonna have some legitimate competition out there from guys

(26:49):
that you're going to see get a handful of snaps
at least every single Sunday.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I got a few shout outs from from Canton, uh
Nick and Darren saw you guys at the enshrinement. You
guys listen to the post and appreciate that. And then
Scott Elliott saw you at the ensronment said, uh, say hello,
I'm mat Money Smith.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh so there you go.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Uh so shout out to you guys, thank you for
watching and listening.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And real quick before we get the KLSSI do you
want to mention Molly? Uh you interviewed her on CBS,
little girl Molly that I talked to at a couple
of different Charger practices and kept showing me the video
of you interview in her last year at the ball,
and so I kept saying, Molly, I promise I will
mention you, and I forgot for like three weeks. But
here you go, Molly. There is your there's your shadow Molly.
So there's there's something worth a smile.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
It started tough, ended on a high note with Molly.
All right, without further ado, here's KLS well Money. He's
become an instant fan favorite. Key and Dre Leverard Smith
joins us on Chargers Weekly, and Key and Dre just
described the last three weeks you're making plays on the
field and the fans are certainly taking notice.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Uh it's crazy.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
I was just talking to my you know, one of
my uncles who just came to visit me at practice,
and I told him it's been it's been not short
of amazing.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
A little overwhelming.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Uh, but I mean I'm just taking it all in
and not trying to get caught up in it too
much because I mean, just been experiencing a lot of
love on social media d ms, you know, from the family.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Friends, everybody. Ls.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
I just I just told somebody else I felt bad
I couldn't sign all the autographs and.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
They told him I had to come up here. But
you know, I'm just walking.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
By kill that's Dray big play. I'm just like, yo,
I don't got a problem with it. I ain't gonna lie.
I love it.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
But you know, it's been amazing. Man. I'm just trying to,
you know, continue to.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
I feel like it's just a start, So continue to,
you know, prove myself and earn respect to my team, first,
coaching staff, and the fans.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Uh. You let me write to what my first question
is selfishly, is the guy that's calling the games? You know,
I want to make sure I get you right. So
everybody says kalless, But you have an interesting name because
you could be key. You can be Dre. You could
be Lambeau. You can be snitty like like what but right,
like what nicknames did you have growing up? And what

(29:00):
do you like best? Or is it Lambert Smith or
is it like what do you prefer?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
So I'm so happy you asked that question.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
So people in the locker room, like teammates, friends, they
call me Dre. Okay, So like when I got here,
I got kind of introduced as k Les, so like
I had to start telling like k Mack for instance,
to see me like klss. I said, Hey, Matt, you
call me Dre like you feel me so friends and
like guys my age and the people I see, you know,

(29:27):
interact with on the day to day, my teammates, I'm like,
y'all can call me Dre kalles, I feel like it's
more for the announcers and maybe the coaches sometimes.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
But do you not like it?

Speaker 2 (29:36):
No?

Speaker 5 (29:36):
I like it, but it kind of originated my last
year at Auburn's hold.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
On it is Bundy of friends or is Bundy of play?
No established friend?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
But you can so you can basically call me anything, honestly, Dre.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
I did see a poster at practice somebody brought it
to practice and said, Lambo, I'm like, I kind of
gave myself that nickname back in the day and it
didn't stick yourself.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Oh yeah, I have a lot of likes like that.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Great it is.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
It is big Tray everything. The only thing I say
about big player Dre. We kind of got big play Dre,
Big play Tray. I seen Quay the big play play.
I'm all right, big play kind of but uh man,
I take everything you know, call me anything, Okay.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Well, you know what if it's big play Trey Andre,
that could work two your working at the same time.
That's that's all right. I'm gonna file that one.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
That due opened me exactly but that can become something
exactly right, you.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Think it's gonna I go back to your your draft
call when Jim Harball calls you and he says, what
do you get a load of our quarterback? Yeah, but
when he gets a load of me, you know, just
that confidence right from the beginning. Take me back to
to draft day, because I'm sure you thought you were
going to go before the fifth round. Uh, but sometimes
it's just it's the fit, right, and the fact that

(30:54):
s J got on the call and said hey, unanimous
in this building. We all wanted you here.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
So the thing is like, that's what a lot of
people would imagine, like, oh, I know you wanted to
go before the fifth. When people kept asking me like
we're right, anything you're gonna go, I literally told him
I just told you, I go to a good situation,
like because I always knew, like it's people who went undrafted,
Gates Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
It's right, people.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Who went late and around and now they're Hall of Famers.
So I'm like, it doesn't matter. Only different that separated.
That is the money at the beginning and contrasts and
stuff like that. But I'm like, man, I just want
to go to a situation where I got a chance
to prove myself and uh what the elite gun slinker
back there? And the thing is I didn't. I had
no idea I was coming to La so it kind
of was shocking. And then when I took it in,

(31:36):
I'm like, all right, that's ten back there. So that's
where that when he said wait to get a load
of our quarterback, I'm just like, man, wait till you get
a load of me, Like, you know, just appreciative, like
I said, caught me off guard, but I'm happy to
be in.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
LA when like, I'm sure you saw it. But we
were talking to Greg Roman, an oppressor, and he said,
you know, he reminds me and he was going through
it and he mentioned Braindon Lloyd, like, oh, that's an
interesting yeah. And because you know, when we were talking
about Brandon Lloyd, it's like, you know, I just always
start a brand Lloyd. It's kind of that physical boundary
kind of you know, playing fifty to fifty balls. So
like who do you see like or who did you study?

(32:11):
Did you study? Guys come out like I want to
I want to play like that.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
This is another great question at the perfect time. So
it's funny how the world worked. My favorite receiver ever
growing up Antonio o' brown. Okay, and I wear eighty four.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, my favorite recently you look like, hey, I appreciate that.
That's that's a big, big time compliment. My favorite receiver
like more current the gang Kanan Allen.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
So it's funny how I wore eighty four and I
came to LA and I came him back. So I
beg those two guys Man and Omar Cooper, like anybody
who you know, nice route running and I grew up
a stillis fan, so that's what kind of ab kind
of caught my eye. And just the swagger he played with,
the confidence he played with, never seen him get guarded
to Tony toe tap, just his aura on.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
The field was just everything, and I loved it.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
And then, like I said, Kanan Omar Cooper, any guys
more recent run routes. I try to just you know,
I feel like that's what separates me and I like
to get open.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
I like to run routes. And we shot on that
touchdown at the Hall of Fame game.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, yeah, like that. You know what I'm saying. It's
a lot of love.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, but just I feel like that's the way it
really can separate you as a receiver if you're not
the I feel like I'm pretty fast, but you that's
something that you don't got to be faster?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Do you? Four three seven?

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Okay, okay, faster than pretty fast.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I mean, wonderfu you being humble?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
But come on, yeah, okay, I got the speed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Where all do you?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Man?

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, we're all do you?

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (33:31):
What was that first interaction with Keenan?

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Like, what was it? I dopped him up.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
I said, I didn't want to be I didn't want
to come off to fan boy.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
I'm a he's my teammate.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Now it's still counter of saying him. I'm like, all right,
that's Keenan, that's Keenan Islan.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
And he was walking.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
I just went to them all smooth, like, hey, nice
to meet you, drapped him up at Keenan, and I
kept it pushing. Now when I turn around, I was like,
but then even after practice.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I just talked to him.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
I said, man, you know, I want to I want
you to watch my routes and just help me, you know,
critique me and see what you see, because, like I said,
that's what I was watching before getting into the lead
throughout college. And it's just funny, you know, seeing him
at practice as soon as he ran his first route,
I said, yeah, that's ken But I said that boy, yeah,
that's the releases.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
So like, how how do you get better at that?
Like what is it that you've experienced that someone like
Keenan can say? Is it just the nuances? Is it?
Is it little things that only someone like him can
pick up? Like what do you expect to get out
of that?

Speaker 5 (34:29):
It's kind of like a uh, So, I feel like
a lot of it is filled. But I also feel
like if you just got those certain tools in your
bag and you know when to apply him, you can
get open. Like I feel like it started back when
I was at Penn State and I'm behind John Dotson,
and he the first one I seen do a split release.
He got it from Devontae Adams. I didn't know that,
so I sar. I'm watching his one on ones as

(34:50):
I'm watching mine. I'm watching his reps, and then I'm
just going out there and I'm just trying new stuff
and it either stick or don't. So like, I also
came up with Parker Washington. He's in Jacksonville right now.
You know he came in. He's from Texas, so he
had sweet feet. So he's teaching me different stuff on
my feet at the release and routes. So I'm just
taking all of these pointers and I don't got no pride,

(35:11):
So it can be if I'm on Instagram and there's
somebody at the high schooler he do a nice release.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Anything I like, I'll screen record it.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
I'll just look at it and I'll just try to
add it to my game and then just kenon like,
I'm always all right one on ones and now that
I'm here and I can ask us the iPad, I'm
going back watching his one on ones. Here I'm asking
my coach to put on a B film. Ab wasn't.
I mean, he was a good route runner. But as
far as crafting, it's like, you know, I'm looking anywhere
anywhere I can find it. You know, I'm scrim recording

(35:39):
and trying to add to my arsenal and if a
stick it does.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Describe what it's like in that room. It's a very
interesting route keen into the mix. You saw what Lad
did his rookie year last year and just his route
running ability. Yeah, Trey drafted high Quentin in year three.
What's it like kind of picking the brains of guys
that have done at really all different levels.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Yeah, I feel like, like I said, I feel like
it's no sense of you know, pride or what's the word. Like,
nobody's too good to you know, talk and figure out
we can get better at And the funny thing is
we all so it's four of us in there, that's
class of twenty twenty, and everybody's on different years, which
is it's funny had the NFL work.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Somebody, somebody was like, Lad, get your young bull. I said,
I'm older than them last people, and it was like,
the NFL. Don't go off your age, you go off
years in the league. And I'm like, okay, I get that,
you know, Lad, I get it. I get all right the.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Veat I'll be that. But the thing is, we all
graduated twenty twenty. Q's on year three, Lad on year two,
I'm on my first year, and traded on his first year.
They all classes twenty twenty, so I mean we're all
around the same age. We clicked and then, like you said,
you add a Vat guy in there, like like Kingan,
I'm pretty sure you know we all grew up watching

(36:52):
them and all studied this game at some point and
definitely gonna take advantage of it. And like you say, Lab,
when I first got here, and watch how he stops.
I'm watching watching some of his tape durned indie indie drills,
and I like to think I stopped pretty good. And
I'm like, all right, if we both stop good, let
me just see what separates him from me. Let me
try to steal that or get an edge if I

(37:13):
like something he does a little better than me, or
why he does it better. I'm gonna look at it.
I'm gonna ask him. You know, no pride there. So
I feel like, you know, it's an open book. Everybody's
open book, and you know, we all trying to get better,
all trying to be the best.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
You mentioned class of twenty twenty more high school, right,
yes you were, so you win to state championship like
that part of the country A lot of times it's
vat Tech, it's you know, I don't know if it's Uva,
but like you know, Maryland or kind of like in
that range. How you end up it Penn State? Like
who did they? Who else offered you? Like did you
think about staying closer to home and kind of what
what led the Penn State?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (37:45):
So originally, and I gotta say it's it's funny you
say vo Tech and Ibould say, like v Tech vtail Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But so originally I wanted I kind of grew up
looking at Virginia Tech. My uncle went there, so I'm like,
all right, I went to a few games growing up.
I wanted to go to Jinia Tech, and uh, I

(38:05):
think what it was is I forgot who recruited me, Oh,
coach Jared Parker. So when he was originally at Virginia
Penn State, you know, I clicked with him. And before
I even before he got ended up at Penn State,
he was at West Virginia and I went to a
camp there. I'm sorry he was at. Uh, I've been
out of college a little minute. He was at I

(38:27):
want to say Kentucky or some duke. He was at
one of those schools, and I went to a camp
and I connected with him, and uh, I just wanted
to go to a big time program.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
And he got the job at Penn State.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
So I already had that relationship with him through the
recruiting process, and I ended up going there on a visit.
Went to a white out game with kJ and Himler
crib the slamt versus O State, and so you need it. Yeah,
I love playing in front of the big time crowds.
And that sold me. I mean it like it's no
less than one hundred six thousand each game, which is true.
So I'm like, man, I love being Beaver, and I

(39:00):
up and beaver with number one, just like kJ. So
I mean it was definitely a great experience. And then yeah,
I finished my career at Auburn.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
So you mentioned Justin at the beginning of that, Chris, Sorry, yeah, please,
you can tell the humility of Dre that's what you
because you said.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
My uncle his uncle's camp chancellor.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah, a fifth round pick to right, sir, Yeah, sir,
did James Madison recruit you?

Speaker 1 (39:25):
I'm sure they.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
Tried you, that's right. I wouldn't say that. I want
to say that said. I've been on a cousin. I
forgot all my office honestly, I had about thirty five.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah, it's good worked out alright.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
So the quarterback here number ten. Uh have you ever
played with the quarterback like that?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
And what is it like?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Ketching balls from him? Always kind of being ready because
he'll find you.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Yeah, it's been. I mean I like the thing. I mean,
I love it.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
I love one of QB Like I've seen him make
a pass where like the receivers right here, the defenders
right on him, he put it right over the helmet,
like in stride, like the defender didn't have a clue
the ball was coming. I love it because I feel
like I'm always ready to catch the ball, like I
want the ball I want you to throw it to
me when the guy's on me, because you can be
covered and they still make a catch. And that's why

(40:16):
I like contest the catches.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm my man.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
So I love that he you know, he trusted guys
enough to do that, and I feel like I'm building
that trust with him.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I mean, i feel like, if you see me out.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
There, I'm not saying it's one hundred percent, like all right,
Dre Callin's going, he gonna make this, I'm going, but
I'm trying to build that. I'm trying to get into
that point. But I felt like, you know, he's starting
to trust me a little more.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
But it's great.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
I mean, I've never seen somebody a quarterback work as
hard as him. I mean, even over the break, he
was still in here.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I was here.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
He was in here, and it was kind of emptying
here and you could just see him like doing abs
and we do when we're doing conditioning. I seen him
do the conditioning test and then run more sprints out
of the condition to test. When I ran my condition
the test, I was on my knees at the end
of it. I'm like, Yo, there's no way I can
go no more. So just seeing a level that he
pushes himself to, and uh, you wanted out to a quarterback.

(41:04):
You know he you know he got that grit to
on that fire, and uh, you want to get open
for a guy like that.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
You know he wanted to catch the ball. You don't
want to drop it.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
So when when did you know, Uh, I would love
to you know, the touchdown in the Hall of Fame game,
you're lined up. I think Boodle's playing press, man, I
think he's playing press. Yeah, So when did you know
did you know you had leverage before the snap? Did
you know you had him dusted after your release? Like
from that? When when that thing lines up? When do
you know I knew?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
When did I know I was getting it? When?

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Did Yeah? When did you know that this this guy's done?

Speaker 5 (41:35):
So, I mean I left, I left the huddle, Trey said,
I need you. So in my head already, I'm like,
all right, I gotta get open. I'm getting open, right,
And uh made my move and like I said, a
lot of it is feel like I just was was
sliding to it outside and I just went made my
little move at the top, and I kind of knew
it was over when I mean I caught it and
I had my visit or field and I didn't see nobody.

(41:57):
All I seen was a touchdown, so I'm like, I'm
getting the down and I just felt a little clip
at the end, but on my arm right here hit
the little I flipped on purpose. I could have just
you know, failed any type of way hit a little
front flip. But yeah, once I caught the bar and
knew it was over. And I purposely did that because
I was into the boundary and I worked them outside
so when I catch it, I'm not too far as

(42:18):
close to the linebackers. So when I caught it on
my all right, it's gonna be a catching knife. And
that's like I played out caught it knife that immediately
on the Jets. And that's the thing you know, money
ever talking about. Okay, it's one thing to do in practice.
Can you translate it to the game. You did it immediately?

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Another opportunity on Sunday against the Saints. Now that you
have a preseason game under your belt, Like, how are
you approaching Sunday knowing that you're still gonna get more opportunities.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
Kind of like like every game, I mean, I do
my little journaling I talked to the man upstairs and
I just focused on, you know, the little details, and
I feel like it was a lot of stuff that
I could have got that can get better on. From
the last game. Everybody see the touchdown and the little
fade catch, but I also felt like it was a
few routes where I could have did stuff better here

(43:08):
as far as a block there. So just having those,
you know, things that I can get better on and
make sure, uh don't mess them up again in the
next game. I feel like to getting open part is
just a part of a receiver. I gotta get up
and I gotta gutch the ball, but just you know,
honing in on the little little details of the position,
you know, the stuff that the fans and stuff probably
don't see. Sure making sure you know clean on that.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
When you mentioned both Ab and Keenan, you know there's
there're guys that can certainly play outside and are effective outside,
but they do a lot of their work from the slot.
Just kind of as far as your your college career,
the way you you visualize yourself is it is it
actually at z is. I'm sure it's all three, but
what what did you always visualize yourself kind of doing

(43:51):
playing where where Where did you see yourself lining up
mostly in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
Yeah, So, like you said, it's kind of weird because
I kind of played all positions throughout sohigh school I
played the slot primarily, and then I went to Penn
State played outside for three years than my last year
moved around outside into the slot, and I always thought
I was more of a slot. I'm like, all right,
I'm quick, I'm a mismaster any safety linebacker. And I

(44:15):
also got enough signs to go beat press on the outside.
And then I went to Auburn and I only played outside.
So I mean, like you said, I can play all three,
but if I could, you know, all right, I definitely
love doing a lot of working the slot as well,
just because I feel like the slot allows you to
be more savvying your routes, and that's something that I
that's like my number one trait in my head. So

(44:37):
the slots of the guys who do the choice routes
and savvy enough to sit in this hole and know
how to work behind his backer and read the defense
on a run. I like doing stuff like that, but
I don't mind going on the outside and being at
backside go ball stop route because.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
At end of the day is one on one as well.
So I like it.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I like it all ye Drake last one for me.
And when you get to the NFL, obviously everything's different.
Training camp is different. A coach Harball training camp is
probably different. What's the the maybe the thing that surprised
you the most about being a charger specifically with Jim Harball.
And you know, we always hear competitors welcome, especially training

(45:18):
camp in competition is fierce really at all levels.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, Uh, I'm not gonna lie, I don't.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
I don't really got nothing that just took me by
like total surprise. I mean, I feel like it's definitely
easier than college camp. I mean in what ways, Like
as far as the time that we hear so, I
mean college camp you're waking up at six and you
go on to eight like every day. Now it's it's
probably not I don't even remember like when we put

(45:45):
on past specifically, but I think it's when once you
put on pass from like all right, you maybe go
to the first few practices no pass, but once you
put on pass past the rest of camp, uh, we
we go. We go past pretty a good amount of
times here, but it's just as far as the amount
of time were in A it's not it's not too
crazy that some guys say this, this camp is more

(46:05):
easier than some other camps that they've been at as
far as the time in the building, but as far
as out there, like when when we on the field,
we definitely compete into a high level and you know,
making each other better. But it's not never really quitting
by surprise, you know, I was, I was writing for this.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
He's been written. Yeah, all right, last one would get
you out on an easy one. I think you've had
some pretty good uniforms man in your in your career,
the iconic Penn States, just the white Navies, no names,
you know, as classics as it gets games there you
go game you got Auburn with that iconic AU on
the on the helmet, orange and blue. And now you

(46:43):
got the arguably the best uniforms in in the NFL
and the power Blues. Like so A, what's your favorite
charger combo? Have you seen them all? And you have
a favorite one and B of those three? Go ahead
and just it's fine recommend order.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
Uh well, I feel like that's easy I'm putting, well,
so the favorite one in La Yeah, the combo. It's
it's so many different combos. I'm gonna definitely go with
the ones we just wore. I feel like those are cold.
Like the white with the blue pants with the blue
socks that's never been worn before. Yeah, I know that
that was That was that was pretty dope, and I
feel like it was nice and clean, like I got

(47:16):
this picture it's posted on Instagram, like it's the first
picture when I'm like dipping somebody up after the touchdown,
and I just felt like I just looked at real
nice in it. I had the blue gloves, the blue bottoms,
the white cleaves.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
It was clean.

Speaker 5 (47:31):
Ah, but I can't wait to throw on the Uh
then we got the all gold like that kind of
color rush, you know, I can't wait to throw on that.
Like I said, we got we got so many the navies,
We got so many different colors.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Herd to beat that Penn State one though.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Now. Uh So if I rank the uniforms or I'm
not gonna lie l a.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Uh, Auburn's underrated. Man. That blue top, white pant combo
with the orange like it, that's a that's a good Uni.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
But the Pen State is it is underrated to but
I do, I do like the name on the back,
So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go l a Auburn,
Penn State. But Penn State and Auburn both only had two,
Like we didn't have too many jerseys Oregon. Yeah no,
it was only like a Penn State away. Your word,
the white on white home you were the blue on

(48:27):
white Auburn the same thing, blue on white.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
White on those all whites are pretty sweet.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah yeah, but can't right there.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
He's gonna get you fresh all year.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Look for him, smile. I got you all right, Hey, Drey.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Lambert k Yes, sir, Lambo Lambo got a stick, we
can make that.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
We could do Lambo Ladd and Lambo KALs. So I
don't know, j that's on you.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
You you have to Lambo Lamb get a touchdown in
the game on Sunday and I'll call you Lamba.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
I think Lambo and Lambo.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
I think it's gotta be Lambo because like I don't
got like a when you go l l like Lambo lad,
that goes off smooth like it's not.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
It's just gotta be Lambo.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Its gotta be Lambo or Dre Lambeau or like Kay Lambo.
I can get creative with it.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Touchdown, figure it out.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
We'll do a Dre.
