Finally Michael Davis gets some recognition. Ppl who watch charger games know he’s a legitimate top 10 corner.
Facts they are talking about JC coming back, Vato is everything we thought JC would be last year at least!
Vato is fun to watch, he filled the JC spot pretty seamlessly.
I will forever hate Kenneth for taking out Davis in WC game
Not many people do that 😅
@@HerbMVP24exactly! If Murray doesn’t do that, Chargers win
That first QJ hitch n run for a TD is gonna hit like crack in the 80's
the freshest crack Ronald regan dropped in the hood..
I'm always amazed at the Chargers' ability to invent news ways of inflicting psychological and emotional trauma on me every year.
Enough early-season hope to lure you into the trap of believing this is finally THE year before the inexplicable meltdown of cataclysmic proportions when it really matters.
Can't wait to see how it plays out this time around! ... I wish I was a fan of a normal team.
As a Vikings fan, I feel your pain 😂😭
Be #1 on defense and offense, still don't make the playoffs.
I 100% agree. Ive been in an emotionally abusive relationship with the Chargers for years now, and I try to not get hyped about them until week 5 or 6 of the regular season.
@@KyleMPrepI was about to say the same thing😅
100% AGREE
You know you fucked up when a Bears' fan feels sorry for your team's last 25 years.
I’ll always argue the Chargers have it worse than a lot of other cursed franchises. We’ve had Super Bowl caliber rosters and potential many times and have collapsed horribly just as many.
I’ll always argue the Chargers have it worse than a lot of other cursed franchises. We’ve had Super Bowl caliber rosters and potential many times and have collapsed horribly just as many.
The fact that in the last 2+ decades, the chargers had Drew Brees + Philip Rivers and two more surefire HoFers (LT and Gates), only to never even PLAY in a Super Bowl (as well as a grand total of ONE AFC Championship game appearance) is beyond cursed.
Joe Lombardi needs to be locked up for his crimes against Justin Herbert and that offense. Flatly unacceptable play calling. Especially the 3rd quarter foot off the gas pedal shit. Just infuriating
That jet sweep instead of a sneak with your 6'6 QB was egregious. It's burned into my memory.
The defensive coordinator needs the same treatment. Couldn't stop the run, couldn't cover, didn't apply the pressure, what more should I say.
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 This is actually addressed if you watch the video.
@thomassenemounnarath3278 I mean, there's a new DC, and the injuries on defense tanked the ship.
@@CreamyPesto505the defensive coordinator is Staley. He calls the plays and I need to see that defense be average AT BEST
I’m really excited for the chargers this year. Kellen Moore and Herbert is a fantastic pairing.
I'm a Ravens fan living in SD. The Chargers get playoff run hype every year, and every year I say "I'll believe it when I see it."
That's gotten me through the last 25+ years.
Man the amount of times all the receivers just ran straight and turned around was so frustrating as a chargers fan. Felt like Joe just saw how hard Justin threw it and expected it to be too fast for the defence every time, and it wasn’t
In regards to analyzing Stanley’s performance keep in mind that he has had two years as head coach and has a winning record while Bill belichick had a losing 36-44 record as a head coach in his first 5 years as a coach of the Clemens Browns. In the 1st 3 years with the patriots he was 5-11, 11-5 and 9-7. After the first 3 seasons with the patriots and in his 9th year as a head coach he was head coach with many highly successful seasons.
It’s been pain for the chargers since 06
Make it 81
Just one small thing bothered me about this podcast. Khalil Mack played every game last season and you guys kept harping on how he and Bosa were both out. Mack just got more double and triple teams because Rumph and whatever else EDGE we had healthy couldn't do much.
Yeah, our line last year was basically Mack, SJD, Fox, and some other dudes.
Actually, there’s a YTer who broke down khalils szn. He was not double and triple teamed much at all last year. He’s def lost a step or 2.
@@edgoat14 I mean maybe he's lost a bit of explosiveness, but mentally and technically, he's still at the top of the game. The sack totals weren't there because there was no one else around him creating consistent pressure. SJD is there to eat bodies, and Fox is mostly a run specialist. Mack was the only really effective pass rusher, but you can only do so much alone.
@@CreamyPesto505 he was supposed to also help the run game … we know how that went. But I am hopin him and Joey do big things. I’m praying they do haha ⚡️
@@edgoat14 I mean injuries decimated all their depth as well. After the Niners game, they had THREE linemen able to play football. I really think the run D would have been a lot better if they stayed healthy.
Please, just once, can Justin Herbert have a healthy receiving core and a good OC for the entire year? I just want to see him throw 60 TDs.
So you want him to throw 60 tds . How about not blowing a 27 point lead in the playoffs
@@d1chosen973 I’m a Clemson fan so he can blow those leads to T Law all he likes lol
He will need to improve a lot before he gets there. Also the Chargers will have to get rid of Ekeler since he accounts for so much of the offensive scoring
Justin Herbert is not going throw 60 tds.😂
@@morganyu812 damn you’re right he’s definitely throwing 70. My B
Now that some of the perennial door mats of the NFL seem to become good (like the Lions or the Jets), there's this team where it feels like they've been on the cusp of getting shit done for long stretches of time with little breaks in between, yet something always seems to happen to screw it all up. I remember somewhat recently when I listened to the PFF podcast, and they also said something about the Chargers to the tune of the perennial question being whether this is the year for them, they have tons of potential, and then all their key players get hurt and they come up short AGAIN. I feel sorry for Chargers fans in that regard. The constant feeling of being so damn close, yet so far away.
Blame pundits/media for constantly playing that narrative for the fans to eat up and not seeing *WHY* their team is so far away. Injuries are a thing but so are depth charts. Teams who survive the regular season well to play in the postseason do so with having a versatile roster. As good as Staley is on defensive play calling and design, he is also stubborn where he sets himself up for better offense/OC/play callers to dunk on him. Its funny how some blame was deflected to Herbert in the playoff game when the Chargers offense in the 2nd half in terms of how they moved the ball was absolutely atrocious. Let alone the defense that can't hang with Trevor and Dougie P on a hot stretch. And obviously having Joe Lombardi sabotage Herbert for like 2 straight seasons throwing curl/stick routes or wack bubble screens on 3rd and medium was a relationship that got old real fast. Has nothing particularly to do with not having enough vertical threats since as Brett has noted, Steichen as the OC (years before) challenged Herbert to throw deep even with Williams and Allen. This is a team that some folks championed as real when they were pretty fraudulent to begin with. Maybe that goes away when Staley gets canned.
Although there’s pain with this team, I will always hold hope in the hunger that comes with the losses they have endured.
We’re the NFL God’s strongest soldiers, they’ll repay us soon for all our suffering.
Yo this is what I been waiting for since my Chargers moved to LA. Great job boys. Love the content and solid takes. I am excited and I pray for a healthy season.
surely surely this is the year the chargers finally live up to the hype
Really looking forward to the new OC and what he can do with Herbert. Last year's offensive scheme was nearly Greg Roman levels of crimes against passing.
By the end of this we’re gonna have like 30 top ten teams
Please dear Lord let this actually be The Year. Amen
I think that effectiveness score should take into account special teams. I know it's usually an overlooked part of the game but Ill always remember a decade or so ago when the chargers were the number one offense the number one defense but still missed the playoffs.
Putting Keenan Allen as the Chargers WR3 fantasy wise just shows that you haven't been paying attention to Keenan Allen
It was a dead giveaway when they called him “injury plagued” lol dude hadn’t been hurt in 6 years before this past season and he looked great when he returned.
Darius Davis was drafted because they lost Deandre Carter and needed a new returner. Was one of the best returners in college! Wouldn't be surprised if they brought him in on some gadget type plays on offense like you said!
I’m surprised they didn’t know this lol…
@@greatslambino That's how I felt lol
I doubt he gets double digit snaps at WR this year. But that's a good thing
If they're considering JC Jackson as CB3 then I'll take it. Hope he shocks a lot of people when he comes off of injury.
I've been waiting on you at the door! In all honesty though I don't think the team is being hyped up like last season which I do not mind, even as a relatively new fan I'm tired of hearing that this is the year. Don't talk about it, be about it. The injuries were insane last season though. Michael Davis was huge for the defense last season.
Just found this podcast thank god
It’s possible that Charger’s did so many hitch routes because the plays called were called with the intention not to be a top contending team!
Justin Herbert has a lot to do with those 10 Wins and he has to be catered to because a franchise QB isn’t easy to find.
Glad the Offensive line is looking way better than previous seasons and drafted a young talented WR kept Ekeler and I’m sure Kellen Moore will utilize Spiller better than Lombardi.
Let’s Go Los Angeles battle Chargers!
Da Da Dah Dah Da Charge!!!!!
🐴⚡️🏈
Efficiency numbers are stunningly low. Staley in the hot seat for sure. Underperforming for the amount of talent and opportunities squandered
It could be said that on defense, he's still lacking key pieces to realize how he can play consistently great defense. His D-line is okay, he's trying to get a full season from Bosa, Mack is on the decline, his linebackers don't really play coverage (though Kendricks could solve that), JC Jackson may be looking like a bum pick up and Derwin James Jr. is kinda overrated in his job at being a TE eraser. Since he can't erase the ones that matter. But Staley as a defensive play caller is also not consistent. He has great genius looks like the Dolphins game where he got his corners to press the Fins WRs and show blitz looks to Tua so he couldn't play in tempo. But his game management is relatively inconsistent and his inability to have a staff that doesn't sabotage Herbert is going to get him canned. Plus Lou Anarumo (Bengals DC) has defensively handled the Chiefs in recent years better than Staley has handled them. Or at least against elite QBs for that matter.
@@t4d0W But I do agree with the Bootleg guys that they have more depth this year than last. I was kind of surprised they held up as well as they did, but with all the injuries, they didn't lose a lot of guys for the season as the Broncos did.
To be fair to James, no one can guard travis kelce, and that doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon 😂
@@Scyon13linebackers that Mike Vrabel coaches can. That’s it in the league.
I think one of the most underrated things spoke about in NFL circles is that good teams know how to put away bad teams and win games. One thing about the chargers, cowboys, vikings, jaguars, and other teams of that caliber is that they let other teams hang in and can’t put them away. That seems to be what separates the Chiefs from everyone else in the league
100% that is what great HCs do.
I agree but we shouldn't ignore that the chiefs lost to the colts.
@@VictorGarciaJr Apparently we can if they won the super bowl instead of giving up a 27 point lead lmao
@@Jundin09637 true but just saying can't say put away bad teams and win games when the chiefs didn't do that to the colts. They are the champs though but that statement needed to be worded better
@@VictorGarciaJrthey also had a w over HOU only after going into OT. every Team has multiple bad performances every year.
I have been waiting for this one. I also had no idea you were doing media for the NFL directly. Congrats
Great episode and analysis, guys.
Because we played so much Cover6, I'd love to know the run defense numbers between Asante and Adderly over the top (cover2 side). Seems like there could be a direct correlation with that particular side in that look struggling vs the run...sure the bolts had issues up front in run defense but ALOT of the big plays given up were MA's by the secondary
That plus van noy was really bad against the run. It’s not a coincidence that our run d was okay in week 1 and 2 when bosa was in and then fell apart when he got hurt
@@seandouglas6769 ya they allowed 10 yards a carry to the outside mostly to the opposite of Khalil, I also think Asante had less to do with the bad run numbers than drew and murray being terrible at tackling and block shedding
@@andrewhamilton7331I don't know about ASJ not being a problem in run defense. Staley would not yank him on running downs if he could tackle. This is why I don't want to see ASJ moved to the SCB. You gotta be able to fill and tackle if you play the slot.
@@bartbutkis oh I don't disagree that he was part of the problem. I just think the LBs were a much bigger problem and they only slightly resolved that. They need to get rid of Murray to really improve in both run and pass defense, kinda like the d-line did with tillery gone
While yes, the Chargers' roster looks good...
It's the Chargers. They are the AFC equivalent to the Atlanta Falcons.
replace falcons with vikings and youve got it correct
Nah. Arthur Blank will have to acknowledge he made bad hirings for FO/executives/HC that couldn't build a team. Spanos will be gifted a generational talent like Herbert and think the best way to grow from there is getting an overrated coaching hire to attach him with. Herbert just needs an adult in the coaching staff that understands he can throw deep and should threaten defenses with that arm strength of his. Thankfully that last adult that didn't believe in that, got another job in the AFC West because his longtime HC buddy got a job in Denver.
@@AbsoluteMalarkeycertainly its the Lions rather than the Vikings. The field goal record was broken twice against the Lions in game winning fashion. The Vikings at least had a miracle playoff win over the Saints in the last decade.
@@jeffredfern3744 the lions are the nfc's browns
@@t4d0Wm not sure what you’re getting at, Staley has fired his OC, DC and ST coordinators that he’s started out with. I might be misunderstanding what you’re saying though.
@8:13 Brett states he isn't a Kenneth Murray II guy. Nobody is a Kenneth Murray II guy. We are all hoping this is his final season in L.A. and his all snaps are taken by Eric Kendricks and Daiyan Henley.
The QJ tornado spin move 🌪
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brett really flamed Acho! Fcken respect ya bro!
Hey guys, massive fan of the show, best football content on the tube. I’m shocked y’all are so low on Keenan tbh. I know the athleticism isn’t there but that production and PFF grade when he 😂as on the field just doesn’t agree with what you guys are saying I feel like. Maybe it was just that Keenan was used perfectly under Lombardi? Please give your two cents on where that dissonance comes from. Thanks!
Please for the love of god tell me the nfc east is next week I need the giants episode
You are NOT ALONE in that
East comes after South :)
@@BootlegFootballim so ready for yall to preach the good word of chandler zavala once you get to the panthers
For real I've been dying for them to get to the NFC East.
@@CarbonComs So you all now understand what fans of a West Coast team feel. Most programs that look at teams division by division start in the east and end in the west. Been through this for years. Even Bootleg, as I recall, had the West last, last year. So for me, this middle of the pack occurrence is a breath of fresh air.
Been waiting on this episode
2 key things to a successful chargers season: 1st is health. They fired their last personal trainer from last year. We have to see how things go with that. They can’t afford to get decimated again. 2nd is consistentancy. Injuries plays a part of it. Justin Herbert having broken ribs for 10 weeks didn’t help them. Joe Lombardi’s short passing offense didn’t help anyone. If they want to at least go to the playoffs with this tough schedule, it’s gonna come down to depth because injuries happen it’s the NFL. Can they have consistent depth with their system and in general? We will find out this upcoming season. Wouldn’t be shocked at all if Brandon Staley gets fired but if he matches what he did last year if not more, he should be fine
You have to admit that owners and general managers also matter. Example, the good owner would know when to fire general managers, and general managers know when to fire and hire a coach. This has been the Achilles’ heel of the chargers. We could have easily hired Andy Reid instead of Mike McCoy. That would have changed everything. Thank you for a great show.
Singlehandedly the most over-rated, overhyped, buzzed the fuck up team in sports every year. Every. Single. Year. They're a fun team to play though.
Exactly
They rival the Cowboys as most overhyped. This year I think they might be for real. I hope I'm wrong.
@@rluellam the Chargers?
@@liambooth5377 yea. New OC, WR that can run deep and stretch the field. Still probably not good against the run. When Staley was with the Rams he had Aaron Donald. He has no one like that with the chargers. So run defense will still be their Achilles heel, I think.
@@rluellam the defense was always the weakest link when Staley took over, Herb can go for 300+ yards and 4 TDs, and the defense will still fail to hold off opposing teams in the final 2 minutes. Lamar Jackson can throw 4 ints against the Browns and the Ravens still win the damn game. Herbert can never be mediocre, if the Chargers want just a chance to win, Herbert has to be a fucking God among men. Feel bad for Herb because the dude still takes the heat despite his defense letting up 26+ points in over 50% of the games he has played.
Have I mentioned I love these , football geniuses
Awesome episode
Why would you pass if you can run at will?
They started getting diced up in the second half when JAX ran middle crossing/drag routes and BS NEVER made any adjustments, with keeping 7 in zone coverage the majority of the time.
Somebody tell K-9 to keep his head up when approaching a opponent. He always seem to choose the wrong gap to hit and then he's always looking at his feet instead of up and looking for the runner. Give someone else a chance at his position, it couldn't be any worse and maybe someone else will develop better than Murray. It's been 4 years and he's probably worse than when he was drafted with a first round pick.
Lombardi and Moore aren’t too unlike, there’s just two things. Lombardi was terrible at in game adjustments, he was very smart and new how to gameplan throughout the week leading up to the game, but once the D threw that counter punch he had nothing. And Moore commits to the run more, yes he might bomb it deep more than Lombardi, but Lombardi couldn’t establish the run and get chunk plays from play action cuz he never committed to it.
I think what matters most with Moore is that in comparison to Lombardi, he will threaten deep with Herbert using his already prerequisite skill. He has a cannon and his reads are fast enough to get to that deep threat before the defense gets a leg up. Whereas Lombardi run design wasn't efficient, forced it constantly on early downs and put the pass game in a constant tension of 3rd and mid/long where his answer were these comeback routes that never went beyond the sticks. Though one thing to watch out is that Moore also has a penchant for short routes when he's in a pinch and will challenge Herbert's ability to throw into tight windows to get back into first downs. Which late into the season last year was both a strength and a weakness to Dak's passing game. It got too predictable and defenses who were willing to wait could jump on that situation with Dak to get a key takeaway.
I've been on the "Top 10 Trey Pipkins/Michael Davis Hater List."
I'm so glad to see how far they developed last year.
Also here to forever curse Joe Lombardi's name.
You made my day talking about pat white in this modern age
Did we buy you that penthouse view lol
Who would you rather have this season? Drew brees the year he won a super bowl or Justrin Herbert?
Regarding Chargers’s back up quarterbacks how would you compare them to Drew Brees at the same age?
This will be Staley's last season at the Helm... Kellen will be promoted to HC, and Pat White will be promoted to OC.. a superbowl can only save his job
how the hell did we have the 18th ranked rushing EPA? Admittedly I didn't watch every single snap from our games but I felt like 90 percent of the time we ran the ball we would get stuffed at the line of scrimmage and I'd just be wondering why we didn't throw the ball lol.
Was their so many hitch routes because of the OL could not give receivers enough time, or receivers did not get open, or conservative play calling out of strategy, or Herbert missed open receivers down field?
The author of “Low Effort Sacks” now works for the Bolts lol. Ain’t life grand!
Mezcal is nasty! Love your show though!
Took Quentin Johnston in our four sport keeper league I had 11th pick so jsn and Addison were gone but I'm glad they were made this pick easier
Also took Mike Williams few rounds later to go with Tyreek hill Amon Ra and diggs stacked at wr lol
we have the talent to make a run. have a goog buddy who worked 18 yrs in the NFL as a strength and conditioning coach (Giants, Eagles, Jets) who rates our new S&Cas A1. Gives me confidence
Showing no love to Josh Palmer is crazy
Last year the season turned negative during the first Chiefs game when Everett was hurting after just making a great catch and run. Then was obviously diminished getting to the next play and Lombardi calls a hurry up and targets Everett again. Resultant pick-6 and lost a chance at winning the division.
Herbert targeted Everett. Don't take any blame away from him
Chargers have had several Super Bowl worthy rosters since the mid 2000s and nothing to show for it somehow
If Keenan Allen can actually stand up straight and not get tackled everytime the ball is in his hands and run the routes he is known for, he should be great. And Mike Williams needs to be mature, because the wr picks from this draft, Quentin Johnston and darius davis will be takin their spots.
Time. Stamps…
In the description
It was so frustrating watching good defenses like the broncos just sit on all the short route concepts that Lombardi would call. That put a lot pressure on not only Herbert but the receivers too. If a receiver dropped or popped a ball up for even a second it was getting picked off 9/10 times
Chargering: I got remember when they had the number 1 offense and defense(I might be wrong) but they had the worst special teams which cost them
The Chargers will NEVER get over the " hump ". In sports if there's two teams in one major city, one will be good the other will not. Yankees, Mets/ Giants/Jets, Dodgers/Angels. The Chargers were never meant to be winners like the Rams
Bolt ⚡⚡⚡ Up!
Doesnt bad rush d make for good pass d in a way cuz teams just dont pass as much vs them? Thats juat what people say idk
here's to hoping i can come back to this video in a year or so and say you were right, but it's the chargers, so probably not. last year REALLY fuckin hurt.
and yet hope springs eternal
⚡⚡⚡
Uh… Joe L🤮mbardi is GONE! He oversaw a total of 45 points in the 3rd qtr over 18 games. That’s 2.5 points scored in the 3rd quarter that averaged 2.5 pts per game in the 3rd qtr. The Chargers were terrible in the 3rd qtr & 2nd half and still won 10 games.
The future is bright for the Bolts. If Staley cant make a deep run in the playoffs, wouldn't be surprised at all if they hand the keys over to Moore. Its a win-win for the team either way.
Yeah, I don’t want an Offensive scheme change if Herb goes off with Kellen, but idk how the hell they let go of Staley if they go deep into the playoffs.
Who replaces Michael Davis if he gets hurt?
Now we have a new strength and conditioning coach with a better track record, so lets see how that pans out.
The offense should be at least 28 points per game.. (exceptible). However, any defensive collapses with a 3 TD lead blown 2 or 3 times this season and SMH.
Lets not get into this, again. Its time to start debating the topics the PLAYERS should be informed of US Fans wondering when the team starts putting in more work during practice weeks because it shows in games they practicing on the fly within the games. Struggles, mis tackles, no 3 and out D and always showing fans they already tired by 3rd quarter. These issues is what the long time fans want to not see and hoping they play beyond opposing teams of tiring them out as the way they play starts in practice weeks. EFFORT to be consistent is the key for these Chargers before any such rah rah our roster is better mo bull>?.
MY BOLTS GO 17-5 TO LIFT THE TROPHY AND THE BET IS SOMEONE WILL GET INJURED HOLDING IT UP
Let's go bolt gang⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️❄️❄️
Wondering if we need a new strength & conditioning coach and program with all our injuries
They fired and hired a new staff this year so let's see 🙈
Shhhhh keep it on the DL. We don't want the rest of the league to know.
Such an insane roster to consistently underperform
Maybe if they keep underperforming, the roster just maybe might be worse than the media wants to believe..
And Keenan is free to go long this year. 😊
Dude why are you talking about Keenan as if he’s washed. When he came back from injury this year he was top 5 in several statistical categories such as 3rd down conversions, 1st downs, etc. Also you called him “injury plagued”…before this last season he hadn’t missed multiple games due to injury in 6 YEARS! Why is there this small but loud group of people who act like he’s always injured?
Fouts had one of the most explosive arms in Nfl history and i still 100 percent agree herbert is better physically.
Health is the chargers enemy
This episode is what the browns episode shoulda been
This is definitely the team that has been the biggest underachiever for the last two or three years. Maybe you throw them in there with the ravens as pretty good regular-season teams that can't win a playoff game to save their life. They become very inconsistent on defense and either don't make the playoffs or lose the first game immediately. I don't know why they seem to underachieve every year but there's no real reason to think that it's going to stop. They are a second-tier AFC team and they'll need to do a lot of different things to get up there with Cincinnati, Buffalo and Kansas City. I'm not sure I see a path for them to the playoffs because the AFC North might be prettystrong.😊 I think it's 50/50 whether they're going to be playing late in the year.
As a German, Ryan Ficken is such a great name
Hurry up I need to hear about my cowboys. Y’all edged me with all the talk about kellen 😭😭😭
Man imma chargers fan so I’m done buying hype we gotta prove it
I still remember in Lombardi's first interview he said if you can score 24 points on average you win.
And then I knew this guy is a prick
In the first season everytime they had 24 points they stop throwing and started running into walls like they were running a lot but not only in games where it was working but also when you have 3 and outs the 4rth drive they would still run it ...
And the season after that changed to 27 points that was when the offense just dropped of because suddenly apparently it's good to call bad offense. that is also why they lost so maybe games in the second half and last quarter.
It's because Justin often had those 24-27 points early in the third quarter. And that gave the opponents plenty time to catch up especially if you can't run the ball if your one dimensional it's so bad.
So let me get this right Justin Fields hold onto the ball too long but but when Justin Hubert holds the ball it's because nobody could get open? Hubert at any point in a season played with better receivers than the Bears had all season. Interesting
I think he’s speaking to the scheme and Keenan missed a lot of games
This take is as dumb as the Bears
Herbert would LOVE to get rid of it but the design of Lombardi's pass play is not conducive to giving Herbert much options. Especially when he gets Herbert passing on 3rd and mid/long because Lombardi spent his early downs trying to get Ekeler to grind out yards. All he has for that passing situation are routes that don't go beyond the sticks. I don't even want to bring up Lombardi's play calling when Staley was letting Herbert cook on 4th and mid/short.
Buddy, do you know what you’re looking at when you watch a QB play?
@@greatslambino yes do you mothafka
Chargers are legendary at wasting players and not living up to hype
Can’t wait to see how they let everyone down this year again
Exactly
Bolt up ⚡️⚡️
No speed at receiver....no run game= defenses playing close to LOS. No deep threat at WR. Spells it pretty well I'd say
No deep threat!? What about Quentin Johnston?
@@-GloryGloryToOlGeorgiai think he meant last year's offense compared to the current roster and all the lack of depth, which while part of the issue was exacerbated by herbert's injury and a football terrorist at OC. not to also mention a pro-bowl LT and all-pro C missing multiple games, if not OFS
Even if Herbert didn't have a speed threat, his arm and accuracy (watch the Chiefs game where he threw an absolute dime deep at the middle to one of his guys) as well as his ability to get his reads can threaten that he can go deep *AND* make them. The problem is Lombardi doesn't believe it and would rather save those key opportunities on 3rd and long passing downs. And would rather spend early downs dinking or having Ekeler grind out miniscule yards. Steichen when he was OC had Herbert throwing deep even to the same receiver group without a speedster. Its because Steichen isn't afraid to give 9 routes to his cannon armed guys.
Chargers should have never left San Diego, they will NEVER be embraced by LA.
After last year, I’m done with the speculations and roster talk. Either we win or we don’t.
350 Lb DT Jerrod Clark would be able to stop the Run up the middle and it would be nice to have another 350 Lb DT
Every time i tell jags fans that Davis going out allowed them to win that game they just suck on trevors balls and say how much better he is than herbert. Crazy shit but I'm glad y'all gave davis his due
Where do y’all get your numbers from?
