00:00Yeah, let's let's check in because it's the perfect time, right? You get the chargers the two and two on the season, the bye week this week and boy, sometimes you look at the schedule and say, it's really beneficial not to have that bye week earlier. You'd rather have it later in the season, but so many players banged up on the chargers. It comes at the perfect time. They sit at two and two. If we take a look at their point differential, they are at a plus 18 and make the playoffs at a plus 142 hard fought loss last week against the first place team in the AFC West.
00:30That was the Kansas City Chiefs where they had a 10 to nothing lead. But talk to me about the chargers, what you've seen under Harbaugh already and what the future holds for them this season.
00:39Yeah, looking at Jim Harbaugh here, he's done an amazing job so far with this team. I was shocked when they went to an O to start the season and they did lose those last couple games to the Steelers in the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:51But you look at those losses and how strong they did perform and you said it, Donnie, this bye week coming at the right time. While you never like to have bye weeks early, this team absolutely needs it.
01:02Look at that offensive line, Joe and Slater out for that last game and the offensive line still stood tall, protecting Justin Herbert in a lot of those situations.
01:11Now, this team has turned more to a run game. We no longer need Justin Herbert to get that ball flying down the field for over 200 yards per game, which, you know, as a fan, you love those big plays.
01:25But if this team can make the playoffs with Jim Harbaugh's new scheme, you've got to think that is a win. Dobbins here has been so strong on the ground and that's the chargers game plan here.
01:36Come out, run that ball and get Justin Herbert to throw it on those occasions when needed.
01:42Quinta Johnson has stood up now. We also have seen injuries to Joey Bosa, so hopefully he can get healthy here soon.
01:49And like you said, with that loss to Kansas City, we also had Derwin James out of the lineup for them to only allow Kansas City to win it by a touchdown.
01:58Everyone who took the chargers with the hook did cover that spread. So I'm impressed with what we've seen out of this team at plus 142 to make the playoffs.
02:07I wasn't a believer going in, but I am a buyer on this team now. I just thought Justin Herbert lost too many weapons.
02:14You know, we lost Keenan Allen, which was the glaring a weapon that I it broke my heart.
02:19And I think it broke a lot of Charger fans hearts losing Keenan Allen to the Bears.
02:24But this team, Jim Harbaugh, he has the weapons he needs to make the playoffs.
