everywhere subscribe to us on YouTube Spotify podcast you name it but without further a do Che let's get this show on the road and talk about all things cornerback cornerback you know how many times we've done interviews with folks we made that mistake yeah yeah you really have to anate you know when it comes to that uh so yes as it relates to the cornerback position you talk about a position group that has I don't want to say it's it's not turnover is not the right not the necessarily the right word because yes there's a players that were here last year that are no longer here so I guess I guess to the certain viewers you'd say up grade certain viewers you just you would say turnover I don't know but let's just say for the sake of arum there's just been a lot of change for this position group over the last year you have Casey Hayward who's no longer here who was the number one cornerback for a good period of time with this team he's now playing with the Raiders uh you bring back Michael Davis in the in free agency you sign Asante Samuel Jr with your second round pick in the 2021 draft but you still have some talent beyond those three big names so if I was to pick one that I would want to start with I'd probably say that I want to start with Michael Davis because this this was this was a guy that Dan as it got closer to free agency we actually weren't sure if he was coming back or not he had a couple of cryptic tweets that were out there he didn't know if it was happening we were even trying to find stuff on the back end through Fernando and Fernando was even skeptical of whether or not that he was going to be coming back um again this was another one of those guys that when it came to the free agency market and when you were talking about priorities he was definitely up there with the hunter Henry's of the world because you knew that if you at that point in time you also had let Casey Hayward walk because of his contract uh his cap hit so you let him walk and you knew at that point you cannot be realistically going into 2021 without Casey Hayward and without Michael Davis so of course the Chargers made it of their top priorities of the free agent period and they ended up signing him back and Michael Davis has had an interesting career and I think uh in some situations you know has faced a fair you know a fair amount of criticism just based off of his play some people you're kind of all over the place for what you feel about him but during his entire tenure with the Chargers he has progressively improved and again we're talking about one of the bigger cornerbacks that's in this group on this team one of the faster cornerbacks in this group if you're looking for someone to cover Tyreek Hill this is going to be your best option as it stands on the team right now um I like the way that he plays I think the way that Staley and Ronaldo Hill is going to uh Implement him from a defensive scheme can you just imagine from what Brandon Staley had with the Los Angeles Rams from having a guy like Jaylen Ramsey and other guys like Troy Hill and the guys that he developed through that secondary because Jaylen Ramsey as good as that secondary was he was the only first round pick that was out of that secondary you look at the rest of those guys they were third round and Beyond so Brandon Staley has done a good job even in a single year as far as developing mid draft level talent to to play really well and obviously it showed because some of the the top players from that secondary went on to sign huge free agent contracts with other teams um but yeah as far as Michael Davis goes down I I really am excited to see how he's going to be utilized in this scheme again talked about Gus Gus Bradley and nauseum not to go down any further but I think especially when it came to his secondary schemes and what he wanted to do everything revolved around Derwin James and when he didn't have Derwin James as his chess piece I don't think he really knew what to do with the rest of the secondary and put them in the right position to be successful no and and you said a lot there with Michael Davis but I think that last point I think is probably where I want to start with this cornerback group um and then I'll get back to Michael Davis for a second I think it was pretty glaring when we saw this past season with Gus Bradley or at least the last few seasons um the inability to dynamically change and to adapt was not their strong suit I think you saw a lot of that specifically in the secondary and you've heard player after player talking about some of the the benefits of a Ronaldo Hill or a Brandon Staley LED defenses and more importantly than anything is that they make defens excuse me they make offenses feel uncomfortable and make them do things that they're not really used to doing and so I think like the art of a defensive scheme I think is going to be what we're going to see the biggest impact and changes across the entire secondary you know I think it was we'll talk about this in a minute but Chris Harris talked about the ability to be able to play with a coach like a Ronaldo Hill who has been in the league for 10 years and has made plays as a defensive player so he knows from experience what makes offenses uncomfortable so from a coach perspective going from Gus Bradley to Ronaldo Hill Brandon Staley I think is going to be the biggest effect of this cornerback Group by and large by far more than any player that we're talking about today now that being said you've heard Brandon saley talk about Michael Davis or vat everybody talks about him and the way he says his name which I happenly which I happen to love um Chargers are blessed to have been able to sign him everyone talks about his best games are ahead of him um he is like you mentioned he is versatile he is Speedy I think he's one of the faster Corners in the league um last year career high 14 pass breakups I think three interceptions if I remember right um I think he's going to do very well on the outside in this cornerback group and I think one thing you'll start to see is we talked about it in other position groups when we did this for the interor defensive line we also did this for uh who else did we do this for what was the second one I'm terrible with this at this point talking about the positional groups defensive line and then we did tight ends last week tight ends there we go so there are many corners on this group that are here that have very specific traits that they're very good at Michael Davis length speed coverage abilities and one of his biggest weaknesses in the past was he couldn't turn his head around he has actually gotten better at that he has progressed year over a year Michael Davis is going to be our Surefire outside outside corner along the boundaries all Sidelines and going against the Speedy Playmakers and the big playmakers that is a Michael Davis role I think he's GNA look good this year I'm not really worried about Michael Davis I think his floor is like a solid solid solid cornerback too with the potential of being a mid round mid-level CB1 yeah I mean he has that potential like you mentioned yeah I mean he's only he's only 26 years old and last year put up the best year since he's been in the league and you had already talked about the 14 passes defended and the three interceptions add on the 64 tackles on top of that as well um I just think that as far as you know everybody used to talk about Gus Bradley scheme where he liked the bigger cornerbacks that you could use in that um you know that Derwin James was like the the cam Chancellor of the defense and he was always Savvy to those bigger defensive backs to play and you felt like Michael Davis could have grown into something like that if Gus Bradley had employed the right scheme I think from just everything that we've heard thus far from Brandon Staley and as you mentioned Dan he talks about Michael Davis a lot I think that he has a high priority for him to exceed take advantage of that speed and athleticism and that versatility while he has it now while he's in a great Prime of his career um and now look at the the rest of the group that you've assembled around him on top of that so I I think that this the schemes are going to be a lot better for this team as Chris Harris is likes to tells us uh it's goingon to allow us to play more free and that's just the message that we keep hearing from multiple multiple players as training camp gets closer so I think this is going to be a huge benefit for him and like you said Dan uh especially when you have some of the top fastest Premier receivers Michael Davis most likely is going to be the guy that is covering them so for as much as we talk about Michael Davis being kind of like the athletic traits that I think folks are really excited about I think Chris Harris Jr is someone that brings a lot of the cerebral and the mental aspect of the game that I think this team is desperately needing it's going to be kind of an extension of a Brandon Staley and Ronaldo Hill um you heard Chris Harris he talks about it on our show how excited he is to play in this scheme how comfortable he is in this scheme he's played with Brandon Staley before back in Denver um and he gets to kind of go back to what he does best he gets to play manto Man slot kind of in the middle of the field and it's going to be kind of fun because he's probably you know we hear a lot of the term multiple which is basically like the defense is going to be showing as if it's doing one thing but doing something else and so it's going to be looking differently than it actually is at the start of the play You're you're going to look and see Chris Harris looking like he's playing Zone looking like he's playing man looking like he's playing back and coverage or up front line it's going to be fun to kind of watch him and he was one of the guys that we have heard this coaching staff talk about being position so granted we are mostly going to see him in the middle in the slot but I don't necessarily think we're going to just see him as a slot corner I think we'll see him we'll play him we'll see him at safety sometimes I think we'll see him on the outside sometimes inside but the majority I would say is going to be in the slot and in the middle of the field I would hope that I mean I get it and I'm interested to see how that term position L is carried out throughout the year for Chris Harris he's always been known since he's been in the league as one of the best slot defenders in the league and even when the charter signed him last year in free agency uh you know that this is back when they still had Desmond King on their roster who was their you know was their slot guy at the time so everybody was confused like okay well where are you gonna put Chris Harris because you still have Casey Hayward you still have Michael Davis are you gonna play him inside are you gonna play him outside I still think just the way that the wide receivers are now you're not gonna put Chris Harris against one of the faster guys in the league um this coaching staff won't no I I would hope not I even I mean close friend in Denver had told me when the signing first happened had said if you guys do not keep him on the inside where he you know makes his money where he does his good work because apparently the last couple of years in Denver when he was there they tried transitioning him on the outside and apparently it didn't work so well so you mentioned the aspects of safety I'd be interested to see what packages would have Chris Harris in the safety spot and I know for Chris Harris joining this team last year it wasn't the it wasn't exactly the the free agent impact that we were all that we were all hope hoping only total 37 tackles two passes defended and an interception and he had also missed I believe it was seven games um with an injury flu injury yeah yeah I mean is you know it is what it is it's part of the game unfortunately you get some of these injuries that hamper you for good portions of the season um but I think Staley knowing what that Denver defense was during his time there I think he's going to put Harris where he plays he can play the best of his skill set B be more comfortable and I just think that that slot Defender for him is where that leadership is really needed right now in the middle of the field especially when you see the way that certain teams attack Chargers you could take you know Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs they can attack you in a multitude of ways but the Chargers just really just always always seem to be gashed up the middle it seems like there's just there's zero coverage and whether that's whether we're talking about the coverage from the DBS or we're talking about the coverage from the linebackers last year just just looked really bad just soft if I had to describe it would just be very soft like there was it very passive we would let everything go in front of us but there really wasn't much aggression to stop that right hence hence a new defensive coordinator speak that's new defensive that's why we're talking about this so I'm interested to hear what that quote exactly means Dan position for Chris Harris do I believe that he's versatile absolutely we've seen it how much success will he have in being this positionist player and um you know I'm not sure you're gonna shift him to the inside to the outside because aant Samuel Jr I think is a guy who you can do that with given his his age and his fluid fluidity and his speed um I think that he's a guy who you can do that with at this point in Chris Harris's career I think the best spot for him is truly the slot but hey I'm interested at this point this coaching staff has me believing so again like I said I'm interested to hear what this term means when I see it on the field yep so we talked about Chris Harris Jr we've talked about him and his kind of like cerebral bringing that leadership we talked about Michael Davis Kind of his instincts and not NE instincts but more so just athleticism and kind of that length and speed which is his kind of claim to fame maybe the next guy we talk about is Sant Samuel Jr and I think his claim to fame or the thing that he brings to this group is just instincts and as much as Michael Davis is fast asant Samuel Jr is quick so you're not going to see folks kind of jumping quickly from him um thank goodness he fell into our laps again at number 47 in the second round this year um everyone talked about how a perfect fit he was for what Brandon saley and Ronaldo Hill looking to do with his defense uh he is a bit smaller so some folks questioned if he could play on the outside D baby don't ask him that nope so Asante Samuel Jr I think is going to end up being the other outside corner but you'll see I think him and Chris Harris kind of swapping roles every now and then um and I think we're going to see Brandon face on probably more than folks realize um but the good news about Assan Samuel Jr is he's a rookie the guy has so many good instincts such good pedigree very versatile can play anywhere on the field and I think he's going to learn a ton from not obviously everybody talks about him and deran James but I think he's also going to learn a ton from Chris Harris Jr Chris Harris also talked about the last time we talked to him how quickly this group has started picking up this defense and I can't wait to see what a defense with aant Samuel Jr Chris Harris Jr and Michael Davis looks like because all three are very different football players but all three have very specific traits that they bring to a team and it again it's just another it's like the Swiss army knife that Brandon saley has where he has all of these different tools that he could use when he wants them it's just a matter of how and where he wants to deploy them you know it's an interesting point you just made there Dan and I think that that's I think it's actually a great example of the type of pieces that BR stale has to play with because when you really you know the exception maybe one or two guys you look at this cornerback group and they're all very different style of players whether we're talking size whether we're talking you know versatility uh you know speed whatever it may be there's a lot of there's these three main guys that we've just gone over right now we're about to get into Sant Samuel Jr but these top three are very different players very different players but if we just need a refresher course if anybody needs a refresher course as far as what as what Asante Samuel did just just to to hear it again and make yourself feel good for his 31 games that he played in Florida State 97 s tackles 29 passes defended and four interceptions and this is for a guy who sits 510 size be damned as you mention on a for State team that was not good his instincts to the ball as you mentioned Dan his quickness his change of Direction his speed I love the way that he plays just you know much like his dad was he had those type of playmaking abilities and to me just plays like a dog doesn't give a damn that he's 510 one of the smallest guys on the defense you know you there have been there have been a small handful of guys in the history of the NFL when you're talking about secondary players that thrived under around the size that Sant Samuel Jr is and as the league went on and people got bigger you always started you know that that size comparison always kind of took a little bit more weight on especially when it came to either wide receivers are defensive backed Asante Samuel Jr is one of the exceptions to these rules so I just think that the way that he plays and what Staley has already implemented Den as you had mentioned from what Chris Harris has been saying about him I'm not even sure if you happen to notice Dan but did you see who Assante Samuel Jr has been practicing with I think it's actually just dropped yesterday I believe um was one of them Anthony Schwarz it was not but it was a wide actually there were a couple wide receivers Jaylen WD pretty who's the other one there's one more Elijah Moore that's who I thinking I it was same type of archetype yes and and nice to know that he was also practicing alongside Patrick Cain Jr albeit for the opposite Denver Broncos but yes Patrick Cain yes Asante Samuel Jr I cannot wait to see play uh for those who have not seen it we actually had an opportunity thank you so much shout out to Asante he came on to the show special guest and Jake within 30 seconds of us talking with him you I knew the guy just wants to play like he loves being on the field and he grew up in this environment all throughout his life and his dad showed him so much of what he does he's better than his dad was at this age so I can't wait wait to see what he does I can't wait to see what he brings to this team he was probably the perfect fit for Brandon Staley other than maybe like if you were going to go over like a Patrick zeran or maybe a Farley or horn like but when you get Slater you're not getting him this is the next best option for this team and they struck gold so this quarterback group looks great from a one two3 perspective now getting into four five and we'll talk about kind of the ramifications and how we feel about the position as a whole how are you feeling about Brandon face on this year like do you feel you've seen enough do you have questions like where do you see him fitting you know he's been he's been in that Reserve role for this will be his third season coming up and he's been in a reserve role ever since and unfortunately for him when he has seen the field the opposing quarter backs have taken notice to that because when he's on the field whether it be for an injury situation or whatever it was you would see balls being thrown his Direction very frequently um and more often than not unfortunately he came out on the receiving end of you know some bad play from his end for whatever it may have been whether it's coverage tackling whatever and this is interesting because the Chargers actually they released him and then ended up bringing him back I want to say it was midm March I think it was around like March 20th because from what the coaching staff had said they liked what they saw from him in a very small um you know with very limited amount of playing time that he got in 2020 um but again you look at these intangibles here one he's still regardless of everything I just said he still is one of the biger defensive backs as part of this group he's 62 just under 200 lb so he's got the size he has the length and he's technically now he's one of the veterans of this uh cornerback group so I think as it stands right now I I don't think that he gets past the reserve role that he's been relegated to over the last three years but if you can develop him properly um I see how I don't I mean obviously I don't expect him to get any worse and if you if you put if you put him with with this coaching staff to where if you can combine these physical attributes that that he has and refine his his playmaking ability and his talent do some tweaks here and there you know he just hasn't he hasn't he hasn't gotten that opportunity to put it all together yet he just hasn't done it but does he have the potential to do it with this coaching staff yeah I believe he does does it does it go to the starter mentality no let's pump the brakes on that but as a key Reserve I think that he can improve and I think that he can play better and and and be more successful yeah and it's it's kind of interesting and and you hear you see a lot of times in like I don't know video games or you hear about like when you when a certain coach is around players then certain uh traits they have are either improved or diminished a bit it's really interesting how we've us covering the team if he players talk about it you hear folks out in the media at fans everywhere on Twitter like everyone seemingly just gives like a A plus two grade in every category of any defensive trait because of this coaching staff without even seeing the coaching staff in this team play One Snap so as and I'm on that boat too I think all of us see the potential but I just find it interesting especially on defense everyone is just like gushing and waiting for the fruits to finally bear of what this defense and the secondary can do with the right coaching I don't want to say better coaching but with like the more appropriate coaching for what they need at this current time I guess appropriate I guess appropriate is the appropriate word but to your point on that Dan why is everybody so excited well sometimes the stats don't lie I know that they may not tell the full picture but when you look at the stats that were put up from this defense over the past two years and you can that's a comparable term because of the fact that you didn't have Derwin James for a majority of both of those Seasons he came back late in 2019 but didn't really have that much of an impact at that point in time so when you see two full seasons to where dur James did not play a majority of those snaps and you saw what this defense did I I think that those numbers don't lie um how many times did we have to scream at Gus Bradley on the TV you know at the TV for the 2020 too many exactly but then you you see what Brandon Staley has done in his several tenures from Denver to Chicago to most recently the Rams and like I said earlier look what he's done with talent that was not first round for that secondary and oh I totally it so I that's where you're getting a lot of this excitement from so and and everything that you've heard and even the practice schemes that Brandon Staley has been doing by doing two fields and basically having everybody practice simultaneously to get the most reps possible um yes does it maybe seem like it's getting close to that you know OV excitement for things that we haven't even seen on thei yeah just about that just about that but but still like you you you hear these things from Brandon Staley and it you know he he could sell it's not he could sell he could sell car insurance to a giraffe that's what that's what I that's what he makes me believe that he could do so um I'm I'm a Believer in it I like the staff that he's brought in for this and it's hey what are you gonna do man it's just he he he definitely he definitely talks to you and puts you in a good mind to believe that's all so okay we'll see oh [Music] um so okay so that one got you a little bit yeah a little flustered uh so the I think where I get a little nervous and this is a weird kind of shift and rolls here it's at first glance the quarterback group seems light and there doesn't seem to be much depth like even Ryan Smith who we'll talk about in a second I don't think anyone is expecting him to come on come onto this team and show a big impact as a corner like I think everyone knows he's coming in because he's great with special teams and that's something that we are terrible or have been terrible at for a long time so I'm a little nervous about just like the sheer depth of the cornerback position now I know Brandon saley has talked about like there's just secondary players and if you want to technically call them Corners whatever and sure some of the safeties can kind of interchangeably become Corners I just have a hard time believing that they're going to go into the season starting week one without getting someone else to come out on this roster I mean it's we could say the same about the safety position and I I get why you say that Dan because you know you talk about the top three guys and then just talking about brand facon right now and US knowing especially the way that the football Gods love to shame Chargers and charger fans on a consistent annual basis with that word that I'm not going to use no right now because I'm not even going to put it out in the universe but you know what I'm talking about so yeah it does make you a little bit uneasy a little bit skeptical but at the same time you know we still have a lot of uh we still have a lot of time between now and the first regular game of the season which means that there are going to be some surprise releases who you're going to give up who you're gonna possibly give you know give an opportunity to if one becomes other team just as much as ours yeah exactly so there still is that opportunity there um you you can't obviously predict these things right now but I do get what you're saying as far as just depth goes last year when you had Casey I guess on paper you could probably say when you had Casey Hayward Michael Davis Chris Aris Jr and Desmond King you could say that on paper your depth was better yeah because then like faon then becomes like your fifth best on your chart your depth your depth at that time on paper was arguably better now I think your talent is better on your top three corners but your depth has weakened a little bit so yeah I understand exactly what you're saying Dan it is a little nerve-wracking like I am putting all of my faith and we all are putting our faith in Brandon Staley Ronaldo Hill but if you were if it wasn't him and mean for example let's say we were looking like a Brian dble was our head coach and we were trotting out Asante Samuel Jr Chris Harris Jr and Michael Davis like I don't think Chargers world would be comfortable I wouldn't necessarily I wouldn't necessarily say that they would feel uncomfortable um you would obviously expect change again it's it's hard to create those hypotheticals especially now because even if you put Brian D there so okay so who was who would have been your defensive coordinator if he ends up coming over you you know you just don't know I would think that your level of optimism may have not have not be as high as it is now especially when you hear some of these comments from coaches and players like so it's it's an interesting thought um and I get what you're saying I don't think that that we would have necessarily felt less Optimist well maybe that maybe that is what it would be maybe we would feel less optimistic if we hadn't heard those things but I don't think that you'd necessarily feel uneasy if the same exact player transactions ended up taking place albeit with a different coach I I feel like Brandon Staley kind of gives us that like safety net where like okay fa on might need some help and we might need some more stuff hante he's a rookie and all that but like but Brandon Staley is that good of a head coach and his track record showcases that he can do that I think there would be just be more concern more uh angst of the unknown if it wasn't brand Stanley which I'm glad it is like we don't have to talk about it but I think just looking at the Personnel by itself the secondary specifically the quarterback room I feel like could use another piece maybe just as an insurance policy not that needs to compete for this first second third roster spot like that's not what I'm looking for um so do you I mean Ryan Smith you haven't talked about him yet I don't know how much we're going to see of him in the secondary unit come 2021 for this season he's what I think he's is he the only he's the only other person in secondary with the Super Bowl title I don't know how many on the defense has one I mean do like do you see like how much do you see him impacting the defense I guess maybe that's the question I mean not much and you teas it already Ryan Smith is known for more of his special team's capabilities if Ryan Smith ends up being the new Gunner for this special teams unit then to me he's already surpassed his value because hey you go and watch you watch now do I say that he's the next coming of cassim OSG good no I don't but but your your special teams unit again much like a lot of different units that played last year more specifically on the offensive line uh it can't get any worse it can't get any worse for the special team unit so you look at what he's done over the past five years that he spent in Tampa Bay um you know he was brought in specifically to be an key addition to that special teams unit last year played in all 16 games uh 78 if I'm right 78% of the special team snaps um and he had I mean take it for what it is but it was still a team high of seven stops on special teams any type of juice that anybody could give me for a special teams guy like that regardless of what position he may play offensively or defens hey I will take it so if Ryan Smith is being seen on the defensive side of the ball then something has gone drastically drastically wrong in the football with the football gods and with this team again so I hope the only time that I see Ryan Smith making plays is on special teams yep and then kind of closing this one out we've talked about each of the players where we see them playing what I can't wait to freaking see with this Chargers defense is like we're about to see some corner blitzes like we're about to see Chris Harris junor in the back field like I I guarantee you Sam I guarantee you as Samuel Jr will be going after the quarterback at some point this season like it be nice to see we we we have gone so long without seeing anything that resembl like aggression from the defensive side other than our defensive line and even that sometimes didn't show up anything else on this defense has been literally prevent defense the entire time and cover two would just hope everything stays stays in front of you like it we feel so good to see a defense take calculated risks and like the smart risks not just like taking bad angles like it there's a different level of risk here that you need to take and being multiple I think you're going to see that a lot in the cornerback group you're going to see them disguise things differently it'll look like Michael Davis is playing slot all sudden he'll be outside or vice versa you know Chris Harris Jr is gonna look like he's playing slot all of sudden he's in the backfield like that's what I'm excited to see like I'm excited to see a team and the players have talked about it I'm excited to see a group who is excited to play their position because they know they get to Showcase and do something different like you can't underestimate how important that is I mean think about it Jake like if you and I went to the same job nine to5 every day did the exact same thing you kept not really performing well then you go in the next week the next week like at some point that wears on you like you might be getting paid well but like your morale isn't feeling good you're not excited to wake up in the morning go to the gym and go to work like now I have never seen a Chargers team like especially playerwise this excited for a coaching scheme than this year and so that's what I'm excited for like just like to see something new refreshing change watching this team have fun it just didn't seem like the team had fun that much last year nope at least on defense no like I said dude car insurance to a giraffe man he's he's got everybody bought into it but you love what's you know the the the talk that's coming out from both coach and players alike having fun I think as you said Dan to play their position I would go a step further and say play the position that they want or how they want to play it I think that that's what they're excited for good point that's a good point so that is going to do it for the cornerback breakdown now we're going to get into all other positions or most other positions we're going to be talking about the safety position we'll be talking about ins outside linebackers as well as get closer and closer to training camp we got a ton of fun stuff in store for Chargers fans this week maybe a couple special guests te um but Jake it's been kind of a crazy last few days uh I don't know if you heard I got locked in a gym last night um I did well I was one of the first people you called so yeah I heard about it yeah I I tried
