00:00well the chargers came into week one as one of the biggest favorites on the board and they got
00:07controlled at home i'm not even gonna say loss they didn't even lose at home they got controlled
00:12at home uh what are your initial thoughts here i know it's been a while but what are your initial
00:18thoughts on this this in my opinion terrible loss for the chargers i think this is the upset of the
00:24week and i don't even think it's close no because if you were watching that game like i was i
00:29watched
00:29that game in entirety they utterly dominated the chargers the physics the cardinals i the cardinals
00:38have a lot of skilled players trey mcbride gave a lesson to derwin james today just every clutch
00:45moment you needed him to come up with the catch jacoby brissette was finding him and i'm talking
00:50about during james is a 101 type of guy he's 101 coveraging trey mcbride and getting bbq'd and you
00:58don't see that that often with derwin james you almost never see that he's like one of the elite
01:02players where you go okay this guy's on him so we can kind of take him off the board not
01:07today
01:08not today at all and when that when that kind of damn kind of broke the running game was operating
01:14at full speed you really didn't see much from marvin harrison jr again which i you know that that
01:19might be over but jacoby brissette and this offense and the cardinals they just looked they just looked
01:25ready and again with a new offense and again i'm y'all gonna keep hearing me say this with a
01:30new
01:30offense new offensive coordinator new play caller the the charges offense just didn't look connected
01:38it it they looked like the rams looked without the 18-hour flight like they they just looked shell
01:46shocked they they looked that the timing didn't look right and i already don't like their skill
01:52positions their wide receiver uh running just their wide receivers and it showed it showed man
01:57amari and hampton looked okay but still like fumble yeah he had a fumble you go to the arizona side
02:05three almost 400 total yards charges didn't even get to 300 they had two turnovers um and if you
02:12look at it rush john i mean you look at the stats and they're pretty similar but i would say
02:18that
02:19jacoby brissette brissette played like mistake free football i mean he was 20 herbert he was 27 of 37
02:25with just under 300 yards and a touchdown justin herbert had that pick that was basically like an
02:29arm punt way down the field but yeah barely over 200 yards a touchdown and 17 of 27 for this
02:36like we
02:36were touting this mike mcdaniel offense and even he said it right before the game we're gonna unlock
02:41plays and we're gonna run these things that nobody's ever seen before and it's it was cookie
02:46it was worse it was worse than last year it was so basic it felt basic everything they were doing
02:52was so basic because again i think when when this wide receiver room gets pushed back they don't have
02:58guys who can separate mclonkey can get open within the offense and herbert can get it to him but that's
03:04where it stops that's where it ends man i i just i wasn't impressed by anything i saw from them
03:10and i was super high on the charges and i had no hesitation telling anybody this yeah and by the
03:15way i was super high on herbert for mvp and i can't keep saying it he can't do everything i
03:23know people
03:23say oh now you're just covering for him but again who's he throwing to and joku really didn't feel that
03:30involved in the offense mclonkey after he cut a couple catches in the first half he got hammered
03:35in the hip at one point and that was pretty much his night yeah so he had 82 yards and
03:41a touchdown but
03:41like you said that was basically the end they didn't score in the fourth quarter after he got
03:46hitting the hip he kind of looked like oh all right i'm good he got popped and and they just
03:54quentin johnson is not the guy he's not the guy and you just you have no number one receiver
04:00mcconkey's a slot guy uh and joku and and and guardsdale it's just they they just leave you
04:07on team more with a quarterback like that and you would hope the offensive line protection in addition
04:12to herbert's arm and this offense again i need to see this now for a couple of more weeks before
04:17i
04:17before i get worried but arizona shocked him arizona absolutely shocked him and you were higher on
04:25arizona than most coming into the season and i think that you were justified because they looked
04:31really really good what did you see from that i just i just thought that their talent they have
04:37talent at the skill positions that help your quarterback out i thought we i didn't see enough
04:43of love today but i saw enough of him to know that that's real i saw enough of him to
04:47know that's
04:48going to be a problem in that division because he's nice out of the backfield with the ball in his
04:53hand because again the chargers supposed to have one of the best top 10 defenses in the nfl yeah and
04:58the cardinals pretty much played with them today for large portions of that game because they
05:01controlled most of it and i thought every one of their high profile skill positions absolutely showed
05:07off jacoby percent was unbelievable like i kept waiting for him to make one of these you know backup
05:13quarter these geno smith mistakes where he throws the ball you go why would you do that and it never
05:18happened it never happened and on the call they said this is when this was his first time starting
05:24a nfl game to start the season and it just looked like a guy who had been waiting for his
05:30chance
05:30and he got it and he was he was prepared man he was prepared so you got to take your
05:35head off to
05:35the cardinals i thought that they would be good i thought we would see more from marvin harrison
05:39jr than we would from training bride but nonetheless the guys who showed up showed up and they showed up
05:44big
05:44time
05:45time
