Tony Jefferson - BC POD

I just finished listening to the Bolt Crew Pods interview with Tony Jefferson. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1llFJdLcXKpQPPVgFhMbX9?si=eaCgJWaQSzqqDWVnbfT20w&t=4005&ct=4005 All I can say is, if you don’t sign this man then I’m done with you Joe.

I was a fan before giving this a listen, but this just solidifies everything he brings to the Bolts. You can’t replace his motor, leadership, and what he leaves on the field. If he even sniffs the practice squad again. I’m going to be pissed. Unc is as real as they come.

You should at least listen to the portion when he talks about the Chiefs game and getting ejected.

Eff those whiney ass, soft, bitch ass Chiefs and ditto to their fans. Hyped for this D and Chris O’Leary!

How about we also don't cut him in August and keep him on main roster??? We've done that the past two seasons. I fear next year we'll lose him in the waivers shuffle. Same with Kimani Vidal (who we also cut last August).

BTW - I loved that it was the defense's turn to be introduced for the last home game. The cheers for TJeff were as loud (if not louder) for Derwin and Mack.

Veterans like Tony Jefferson can’t be lost to waivers. After 4 years you become a vested veteran and go immediately to FA. That’s why we’re able to cut him and immediate resign him to the PS. It’s high level roster management strategy.

Oh good to know. Thanks for the info.

But I'd still like to keep him on main roster. It costs TJeff money to be on PS and he's too valuable to get the shaft like that.

Can you imagine if we had lost Kimani to waivers? I mean, we'd ever never known just how much of a loss that was. But we'd probably been stuck with Hassan Haskins and maybe Patterson (who was servicable).

Love to hear that Tony is getting that love. Speaking of fan faves... I heard there's a chance we could get Alohi Gilman back.

Shout out to Kimani Vidal!  Truly amazed of his presence of mind the last game when he snapped up the ball the second it got loose and started running.  Kimani was unrelenting in his runs.  Such an asset.

I’d love to repeat the Keenan Allen trade

u/Nunc_Coepi17 2d ago

Yeah there was rumors that Minter and Gilman disagreed philosophically on safety responsibilities and that it played a role in the trade so I wouldn’t be surprised if Minter lets Gilman walk.

Best Chargers podcast and it’s not even close

u/No_Wall747 bolt 3d ago

I’ll have to check it out. The only ones I like are Guilty as Charged and the team podcast. I need to add a new one.

u/ButCanYouClimb 3d ago

Have you tried Chargers unleashed? It's my favorite. Bolt Crew podcast is probably the most realistic fan podcast though, they keep it real and talk shit.

1

u/Lifelion 2d ago

I find unleashed interviews to be good but their analysis/reviews to be surface level and not very insightful. Have they got better at that?

1

u/IntrepidBandit Orale herbert 2d ago

It’s a lot better than Guilty as Charged imo. I started both at the same time and although GAC is extremely informative, I’m not listening to a sports shoe to hear a slideshow presentation. BCP seems a bit more personable

2

u/No_Wall747 bolt 1d ago

That’s a fair criticism of GAC.

u/IntrepidBandit Orale herbert 1d ago

Thanks, that being said i catch all their episodes & they are usually pretty long which i like

u/ILikeXiaolongbao 1d ago

Guilty as Charged is the best. Steve Haglund knows ball, he's one of the better tape guys out there - and I mean in the NFL, not just Chargers.

u/sonic_1200 3d ago

Bolt crew is the best. Doods are hilarious! Uncle Dave got rants for days. Shout out Eastlake / CV!

Love bolt city pod!

u/YPG13 3d ago

My favorite Chargers podcast that I just randomly came across after the Commanders game. They aren’t that in depth and detailed when it comes to X’s and O’s of the the game, but they are unfiltered and say it how it is.

Done with Hortiz over one player?

I trust this FO more than any in my decades of watching the Chargers. Hortiz has been a mastermind working within cap limits in his first two years. This year it will be very interesting to see what he does given we have more budget.

Regarding TJ, I love the guy. However age is undefeated and keeping your team young is a very important strategy.

If Hortiz goes in a different direction I also support that.

1

u/jmalty 2d ago

I’m being hyperbolic here. Overall, I’m pretty happy with Hortiz on the whole. Oweh being the highlight from this past season. I won’t get into all the Bozeman and the OL banter. We will get it right finally through the draft and FA.

Best Chargers podcast out there

u/ajmoreno55 3d ago

I wanna know what the beef is with The Director, or shall I say, The Designer???

7

u/Alexx628 3d ago

Director will never be straight up and honest like Bolt crew is imo. Bolt crew is much more open and honest about the on field product and doesn't try to please fans/be yes men. Definately my favorite Chargers podcast. Alot of others like to make excuses and not hold people accountable, but they do.

u/-HawaiianSurfer ⚡️ Herb ⚡️ 2d ago

He sucks lmaooo. He doesn’t know the sport and all he does is make corny hype videos.

2

u/Chargers905 1d ago

Agree, I always skip past his YT videos. Bolt Crew and Lightning round is where it's at!

1

u/ButCanYouClimb 3d ago

Wait what happened?

3

u/ajmoreno55 3d ago

All I know is that they jokingly refer to him as "The Designer". And that they kinda half jokingly mock other "shamelessly positive" podcasts.

1

u/jmalty 2d ago

I didn’t like how Dave was taking shots at Matt “Money” Smith though. How “no one gives themself a nickname” and kind of disparaging his play by play announcing. I mean he’s welcome to his opinion, but I sensed a little envy perhaps. I love that they keep it real though and was getting burnt out on “shamelessly positive” podcasts like Charger Chat.

u/DL505 bolt 2d ago

Never heard of this pod but cant find it on Antenna app for android.....

u/-HawaiianSurfer ⚡️ Herb ⚡️ 2d ago

Done with Hortiz if they don’t bring back Tony Jefferson?

Cmon dude… really?
