00:00
All right, let's do this.
00:03
Let's go into this Chargers-Raiders game on Sunday.
00:09
What would you like to play for us?
00:10
What do you think the spread is, just off the top of your head?
00:13
I would guess the Chargers are favored by three, that'd be a guess.
00:17
It's week one, they're at home, Herbert's coming off of an injury, the Raiders don't
00:23
really, people don't feel like they have a quarterback, Harbaugh's first game back in
00:28
the NFL, Antonio Pearce's first game as the official head coach, not the interim head
00:32
coach.
00:33
Raiders' defense is expected to be solid, Chargers' offense has lost a lot of pieces,
00:38
especially in the receiving core, the skilled players, tight end, running back, etc.
00:42
So I would think that the odds makers probably look at this game and they're like, it's kind
00:48
of a question mark game, although I would think they would lean towards the home team,
00:53
they'd lean towards Harbaugh and Herbert.
00:56
So my guess would be that the Chargers are favored by three, what do you say, Brown?
01:00
I think Price is right, she can go three-and-a-half, yeah, it's three, over-under only at 40-and-a-half
01:08
though, so that tells you what Vegas expects, what kind of game they expect, run that ball!
01:13
Well they probably don't expect the Raiders to do very much by way of scoring, and they're
01:16
probably concerned about what the Chargers don't have any longer at the wide receiver
01:20
position and we're going to see what the Chargers do have.
01:25
I'm just hoping that Max Crosby goes off and just puts Justin Herbert down and makes
01:32
him uncomfortable all game long, and then Gardiner Minshew, this is what I'm really
01:37
excited about, I'm hoping Gardiner Minshew shows everybody who says the Raiders don't
01:41
have a quarterback, I'm hoping Gardiner Minshew says, yes we do!
01:45
Are you aware that the Chargers might have the best offensive line in football?
01:49
I'm aware that the Chargers have three first-round draft choices on their offensive line, and
01:55
one of them is a rookie who moved from where he played in college at left tackle to right
01:59
tackle, but I don't know for sure that they have the best offensive line in football,
02:03
I don't know that for sure.
02:05
Do you for sure?
02:07
We will find out come Sunday, Joe Ault was one of the premier tackles in college football
02:13
for years, and only failed to the Chargers because all these quarterbacks were drafted
02:19
ahead of him.
02:20
Now, if this was just a straight-up draft, Joe Ault would have been a top-four pick,
02:25
so I just, I find it interesting.
02:28
Huh?
02:29
So he would have moved up one spot?
02:32
Pretty much.
02:33
He would have been a top-four pick, well he was number five.
02:39
This is how good he is, man?
02:41
And so now you got, you set at tackles, which few teams in the NFL are set at tackle, you're
02:48
set at center, they're going to run the ball, like, this is not a secret.
02:54
Name me the running backs.
02:55
Bruh, y'all, I'm gonna try to be calm when I say this, because y'all know I miss the
03:00
football.
03:01
I'm trying to be calm when I say this.
03:04
Outside of Saquon Barkley, okay, and Christian McCaffrey, the running backs are interchangeable.
03:11
What about Breeze Hall?
03:12
Is Breeze Hall a guy who's interchangeable?
03:14
Yes.
03:15
Okay.
03:16
Yes.
03:17
Yes.
03:18
Breeze Hall was a premier running back.
03:19
Alec's going to attest to this.
03:21
When he's-
03:22
And we have not interchanged him at all since he left.
03:25
Madison, ain't that his name?
03:28
Terrible.
03:29
Terrible.
03:30
Anyway.
03:31
You used a terrible example.
03:32
You used a terrible example.
03:35
Like I said-
03:36
Dalvin Cook was over 1,200 yards every single season while he was a Viking.
03:40
Last year, they were awful, because they were like, oh, Madison could just do that.
03:43
No, he was terrible.
03:44
He didn't score a single rushing touchdown all season.
03:47
Terrible example.
03:48
The team was terrible last year.
03:50
Running backs are interchangeable.
03:53
That's why you have to have more than one.
03:55
Okay.
03:56
So you think, like Gus Edwards, I think they got him from Baltimore, right?
04:01
It don't matter who it is.
04:03
J.K.
04:04
Dalvin.
04:05
You're saying that the offensive line is so good that it doesn't matter who the running
04:11
back is.
04:12
They don't need LaDainian Tomlinson, is what you're saying.
04:13
Do they need two healthy legs?
04:17
It depends on what the injury is.
04:19
Their legs.
04:20
That's what I'm saying.
04:22
What kind of injury are we talking about on the legs?
04:23
Well, Gus Edwards coming off an Achilles.
04:25
J.K.
04:26
Dalvin's coming off ACL injuries.
04:27
Solid.
04:28
Not worried about no ACL.
04:29
Not worried about no ACL.
04:30
Yeah, not worried about Achilles.
04:31
Not worried about ACL.
04:32
We in the future right now.
04:33
Achilles would trouble me?
04:34
ACLs?
04:35
Nah, no problem.
04:36
Hell nah.
04:37
We in the future.
04:38
We in the future.
04:39
Hell nah.
04:40
Hell nah.
04:41
All right.
04:42
We in the future.
04:43
We in the future.
04:44
We in the future.
04:45
We in the future.
04:46
We in the future.
