Every line below is a verbatim passage from a published transcript, timestamped and linked to the moment it was said. Nothing here is paraphrased, and nothing is attributed to a named person unless that person identified themselves on the recording.
“Again you're in that rock fight, and it's a terrible punt by the Chargers guy. How many times do you see those bounce and they take a twenty yard bounce? Zulten Mesco made a career out of every published to call it the Romanian biltan.”
“He's carried Road Tom dan Beyer being joined by Tom Telesco, former general manager of the Chargers and Raiders, joining us here as he does every Monday on Fox Sports Radio throughout the NFL season. I want to turn our attention to Philadelphia.”
“I know one year with the Chargers, we had a playoff game at Baltimore. We won that game, we flew back home and then we had a short week to play out in New England and play out New England.”
“I didn't think the Patriots, be honest, I didn't think the Patriots defense was capable of that kind of a shutdown performance. I didn't think a tremendous amount of the Chargers offense, but I didn't think the Patriots could make anyone look like that.”
“They were able to convert that first down and kind of settled things down a little because I thought the Chargers were in control of the game there even though the Patriots were leading six to three, the Chargers defense was in control. That play kind of turned the tide.”
“It was three kind of rock fight, and I thought that the Chargers defense was as advertised. I thought they made life awfully difficult until I think they just got one down at the end, and then then the Patriots put together one drive.”
“I think the Chargers are something like forty some odd percent offensively forty seven percent I think offensively in the red zone. Patriots allow like sixty eight percent touchdowns. If the Patriots can win that battle and make make Mike's guy Dicker the kicker kickfield goals, that's huge.”
“If the Chargers create early negative plays, the variant spikes last one here explosive plays. Los Angeles likely needs two or more chunk plays twenty plus yards to offset New England's time in possession advantage. So final score Patriots twenty seven, Chargers twenty According to.”
“They don't get the lead, and the Chargers can throw as they want to, and they have a diverse passing game that I think will give the Patriots secondary and then I can handle.”
“That's why I'm taking a second to think about it, because i'd love to say that I am one hundred percent sure that the Patriots are going to move the ball, but I think the Chargers be really challenging.”
“He's talked about with Matt Ryan that they should have used Pop Douglas and and I guess step On too to kind of like stretch the field horizontally, just because the Chargers have a really good safety and corner group.”
“Cameron Dicker for the Chargers missed a field goal, then missed an extra point. Maybe it was in the other way around, but they were back to back misses on somebody.”
“I wanted to see some some baby blue, wanted to see some of the mustard, and instead what I we got the what I call the Leslie O'Neill era Chargers. Yes, yes, sorry, no, that's okay. Chris Perfett just has to quick tell us what he hated from Charges Texans.”
“It also has to do with the Chargers Texans game. Let me take you back to late in the fourth quarter, the Texans, holding on to a twenty to sixteen lead. Houston has a third down and nine at its forty six yard line.”
“Everybody here got to meet him, went to the Chargers game on Saturday. He had something that he had been looking forward to for a long time, and we had a great time. It was the first time I'd been at so far for an NFL game, and so that was unique because usually I'm here on Sundays and haven't gone to any of the primetime games.”
“We typically the Chargers do not win these kinds of games, even though they're supposed to. They usually find a way to lose these. And they won it an impressive fashion. And then you read that they control their destiny and the AFC West after the Broncos lost.”
“In Tom's Alesco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, former GM of the Raiders and Chargers. I understand we're all kind of in the same boat. Maybe we haven't been paying attention to Jacksonville as much as we should, but yesterday was a perfect opportunity, late window going up against the Denver Broncos, hottest team in the National Football League.”
“All right, Let's let's get to the game that we were at here, uh sixteen thirteen the Chargers they ended up knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs, and a lot of different ways we can go, but I'll give you my key play of the game. Yeah, okay, my key played to the game, bald.”
“I saw I was there for the rebirth of that franchise when the Chargers came in there after the buy and then they just went to town and they have not slowed down since then. They are on a roll as much as anybody right now.”
“The way that it kind of worked out for the Chargers was that the sun was shining on their side of the field. You have the shadows in the shade which is much colder on the chief side of things there.”
“Chargers that I know that was their game plan weren't able to have that same success. But man, they fly around. I mean they cover as well as anybody on the perimeter. That is not an issue.”
“I know the Chargers had a long drive to start the third quarter, which ate up, you know, I think eight or nine minutes, so they didn't have the ball quite as much. But Saquon had five carries in the second half.”
“If they tie, and uh, the Chargers lose, or the Texans lose, or the Colts lose, or the Jaguars lose and the Patriots tie the Bills, they would also clinch a playoff birth, not the division, but a birth.”
“The other thing sneaky thinking about the Chargers is they're seven and two I believe now in the a f C, which when you get all these teams jumbled up together the tiebreaker. And the other thing is they're undefeated in the division.”
“How about this, uh, this rookie class for the Chargers of Marion Hampton when he's you know, he's out right now with an ankle, but he's played well. Trey Harris has has really gotten more snaps and reps in the lineup at receiver.”
“I'll be at the Chargers at the Tennessee Titans. I'm studying cam Ward this week to get ready for this. I do think you see improvement. You see some big time throws, some off platform, you know, big time throws, strikes.”
“He had the first start, he comes out, he beats the Chargers last week a little bit rough, especially in fantasy. I think with fifteen sixteen points, I think it was for Dark short week against a really good team in division.”
“He has played really, really well and I only think of the good kid Mad City cover right now with the broken down minivan chargers at the Dolphins. We talked a little bit about this on Monday. We mentioned earlier in the show that Amaron Hampton is on ir for at least the next four games, but the Dolphin defense has been.”
“I feel like the entire Commanders offense and Cliff Kingsbury and Jade and Daniels especially is watching, you know, Jackson Dart of all people, carve up the or the Chargers defense on the ground and find these big creases to run through, these big lanes to attack.”
“The Giants are going out to New Orleans for road game against the Saints. But first we got to talk about the week four win. Russ Giants got the dub over the Chargers at home in Jackson Dart's first start.”
How these quotes are chosen
Each excerpt is copied word for word from a transcript the podcast publisher supplies with the episode. Nothing is paraphrased, shortened mid-sentence, or stitched together from two speakers. The timestamp is where the passage begins — 20:35on the first quote above — and the link opens the episode at that point.
Transcripts label voices as “Speaker 1”, not by name, so every quote is attributed to the SHOW unless the speaker identified themselves on the recording. We never guess who spoke. If a quote here is wrong, use “Report this quote” and we unpublish it immediately while we check.
Podcasters who have claimed their show can opt out of quoting entirely.
