Sam WarrenGUEST
some issues in terms of talent there.
Sam WarrenGUEST
Like there hasn't really been a guy outside of Tonka Hemingway.
Sam WarrenGUEST
That's really made a difference on the, at the interior defensive line position.
Sam WarrenGUEST
You want to see more out of quitty pay.

MattGUEST
So that's kind of where it's like, I get it that Rob Leonard's not getting the results.
MattGUEST
I'm not going to sit here and pound the table for a guy that is giving up 35 points a game in the last four weeks.
MattGUEST
But at the same time, I'm like, man, like, what are you going to do? Like, what is he going to do? Like, is, is, is, is Tonka Hemingway going to finally figure out how to take on a double team all of a sudden, if you get a new defensive coordinator.
Marcus JohnsonHOST
Yeah.
Ted NguyenHOST
So yeah, I don't know how much that can improve in a week, but if I'm Frank Wright, I'm definitely pulling on that thread.
Marshall NewhouseHOST
Yeah, I would be too, and this is going to be an emphasized game for Tonka Hemingway, who's coming back, Adam Butler, to really kind of slow down the Braylon Allen-Breece Hall duo.
Marshall NewhouseHOST
Because as we saw when Geno Smith was quarterback of the Raiders, if you get him in predictable passing situations is when you can really, especially with the way the offensive line has given up sacks, if you can put him in pressure, he will throw the ball in the harm's way.
Marshall NewhouseHOST
And so that to me is the game plan of shutting down the run early.
Q MyersHOST
Okay, cool.
Q MyersHOST
If he's going to get all the pressures, someone needs to – who's going to come and clean up? Quiddie Paye? Malcolm Coons? Tonka Hemingway? Adam Butler? Who's going to come up and clean up if Max is getting all the pressures? Someone's got to step up and do that.
Q MyersHOST
And I'd like to see Max get home a couple times and get some sacks.
Q MyersHOST
And I know he would as well.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
On the defensive line, I thought J.J. Pegues.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
Finally getting some reps. Tonka Hemingway is back.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
I hope Foley's there, Adam Butler.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
But yeah, I think there is legitimate reasons for a lot of optimism here.
Q MyersHOST
Someone else has got to step up and be that guy.
Q MyersHOST
Tonka Hemingway from the interior came back and had a sack last week.
Q MyersHOST
That was good, but that was early in the game, and I didn't really call Tonka Hemingway's name after that, right? He's got to step up.
Q MyersHOST
All these guys, you know, the, hey, this is a young player.
Q MyersHOST
Young player out the door now, right? Young player be damned.
Q MyersHOST
Malcolm.
Q MyersHOST
Quitty, right? I mean, Adam Butler, right? Tonka Hemingway, you're back.
Q MyersHOST
You know, a lot of these defensive tackles are, as Lincoln Kennedy always tells me, they're more of, you know, guys that are equipped to get to the quarterback, you know, rush the quarterback as opposed to stop the run.
Q MyersHOST
Okay, well, I already said you got to stop the run, but you got to light up the quarterback too.
MurphHOST
It's not, you know what I mean? Like, you know, it's not getting to the other quarterback.
MurphHOST
I mean, here you got a great play out of Tonka Hemingway and shout him out on that very first drive.
MurphHOST
Oh my gosh.
MurphHOST
But it's like, but then what happened? Then it was over.
Levi DombroGUEST
We don't really have a lot of, like, fronts where we're doing that.
Levi DombroGUEST
Like, if you look at our team defense, it's like Tonka Hemingway is certainly not.
Levi DombroGUEST
No, he's too small for that.
Levi DombroGUEST
Way too small for that.
Q MyersHOST
There's been times where all of a sudden you look around, you're like, man, they're just not getting any pressure on the quarterback.
Q MyersHOST
And if they have one of those days where they're not able to get pressure, if the Jets offensive line is able to hold up without allowing Max or Malcolm Koontz or, you know, Quiddie Paye or any of these other guys, somebody from the interior, like a Tonka Hemingway, to be able to get... home to Gino, I know for a fact he can send back in the pocket and pick you apart.
Q MyersHOST
The key is going to have to be getting pressure on him.
Q MyersHOST
And I'm just interested and intrigued to see how they're going to try to do that.
AlistairHOST
And I think it was Dotson and the running back both went to pass protect the spiker.
AlistairHOST
And Tonka Hemingway, the looper, came around straight up the middle clean.
AlistairHOST
I'd like to see more of that because I don't think the Chargers D-line runs enough stunts or games.
AlistairHOST
So that's one area I wouldn't mind seeing a tweak on defense.
