00:00But the Chargers did clinch their spot, and I imagine the feeling around the Chargers
00:07compared to Denver will be much different in terms of whether or not this Chargers team
00:12is dangerous.
00:13Not only, Don, because of what they do, but I know you've been saying for weeks, right
00:17now the expectation, I think, for LA is they will draw kind of what you've labeled a target
00:21matchup in the Texans in round one.
00:23Correct.
00:24And also, you're now looking at a team from where they were a few weeks ago till now.
00:28The reason I bring that up is Herbert looks great, 26 of 38 for 281, three touchdowns,
00:32no interceptions yesterday.
00:33Now, granted, they went up against the Patriots, who are a dead football team, but you've still
00:37got to pound that team.
00:38That was a work week where you're going from West Coast to East Coast, early afternoon
00:41game.
00:42Sometimes there are trip-up spots for those West Coast teams.
00:44Didn't happen.
00:45But you know what I like?
00:46Vlad Mikhalky's getting better every week.
00:47Critton Johnston's actually catching the football.
00:49Stone Smart is coming on as a backup tight end.
00:51You get Disley back here.
00:52Again, it's not Rob Gronkowski, but it's another weapon.
00:55But also, the calling card for Jim Harbaugh teams is give me a running back that can toad
01:00it.
01:01And yesterday, I didn't really know how to treat J.K.
01:02Dobbins coming back.
01:03You know, comes back on the IR, limited practices.
01:05I said, boy, is that going to be a 8 to 10 yard carries here?
01:10Is that going to be 15 or 16 carries for him in the game?
01:13No, it turned out to be 19 for 76 and a touchdown.
01:15If he is healthy, completely changes the dynamic for the Chargers offense and sets the tone
01:20here.
01:21I don't know if they're dangerous per se, but boy, you got Herbert and Harbaugh heading
01:25down the path in a playoff game.
01:26They're going to be coached right.
01:27They're going to be in it.
01:28Yeah, I agree with that.
01:29And the reason why you look at what they did yesterday, four yards per carry, 147 yards
01:33on the ground.
01:34They grind you out.
01:36Defense bounces back with a big effort.
01:38Statistically, a couple of weeks ago, number one ranked scoring defense.
01:41I think they're there.
01:43And it's because of Harbaugh.
01:44You get them in a big game type of situation.
01:47He could strike the upset against anyone.
01:49It's been a great year for the L.A. Chargers.
01:51We'll see what the future holds.
