    Started listening last year. I watched Lorenzo Neal as a kid. Then to find out he’s a fellow Central Valley native that wrestled is cool as heck! I’ve been to his home town so many times! Small world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Herbert, Dart, Daniels, and Lawrence reach another level? With Joe Theismann & Phil Simms
Q: Is this essentially what you're saying is the next step for CJ Stroud, right?
The next step is that Stroud needs to take over the team and establish himself as the quarterback who can drive the offense, showing leadership and comfort with the playbook and system.
Can Herbert, Dart, Daniels, and Lawrence reach another level? With Joe Theismann & Phil Simms
Q: What are your thoughts on Trevor Lawrence, Liam Coen, round two now, and what you saw from Trevor Lawrence last year?
I thought he made a great leap forward.
Chargers Draft Plan with Athon's Luke Easterling
Q: How do you see free agency impacting the Chargers' draft strategy, especially regarding Linderbaum vs. interior linemen vs. edge rushers?
Free agency will shift priorities based on cap space and who remains available. If Linderbaum can be secured at a reasonable rate, that would anchor the line and inform a heavier emphasis on defensive depth or edge rushers in the later rounds. If the price for interior linemen gets out of hand, teams may pivot to depth on the edge while addressing the interior later, balancing immediate needs with long-term value.
Chargers Draft Plan with Athon's Luke Easterling
Q: Luke, you mentioned Oliva Vega Yawane as a top fit for the Chargers. Why does that interior offensive line pick matter so much for this team right now?
It matters because protecting Justin Herbert is foundational; a top interior blocker not only improves the run game but also makes play-action more effective by giving Herbert time to read defenses. With potential cap considerations and the possibility of letting some veterans walk, landing a plug-and-play guard with long-term projection could unlock the offense for years to come.
Matt "Money" Smith Postgame Reaction: Chargers Toughest Loss Yet
Q: What are the expectations for the Chargers moving forward?
The goal is to regroup during the bye week and focus on getting healthy for the upcoming games, aiming to secure the necessary wins to reach the playoffs.
