Interested to see how he translates his 3-4 approach to the Chargers. Will be different for Bosa and Murray for sure. Should be a great fit for James. Will be interesting to see the decisions on CBs Hayward and Davis and S Jenkins now. I would think (hope) this ensures Perryman is gone.
Building a monster from this roster will definitely be a challenge.
I think this is overblown myself. Head coaches don't only focus on one side of the ball, and in a way having a defensive minded one can be a positive for the QB and offense since they bring that different perspective. The Bills had no problem going with a young defensive coach paired with Allen and that's worked out just fine, and Staley was a college QB so I'm fairly confident that putting Herbert in a position to succeed will be their #1 goal.
You mentioned the Bills and Daboll is the only OC that Josh Allen has ever had and look at the growth he took and he probably got lucky to not lose Daboll. I'm not saying in any way that Staley is a negative for Herbert, I am saying that if you continue to make him undergo OC changes it could be.
But he isn't any more likely to undergo OC changes than if they had hired an offensive HC. Sure, he may lose his OC if their offense does great, but that comes with the territory. If that were to happen they'd likely either promote from within or bring in another good OC candidate. I guess I just don't see your point.
Very interested to see the full staff once known. This definitely seems like an "all in" move on a high risk, high reward staff. It could pay off big or flame out spectacularly.
I’ve never understood this. What’s a week or two or three or whatever if you’re talking about the best possible candidate? I understand FA and the draft come around quickly and ideally you want to have the coaching structure in place if possible, but it just seems needlessly rushed.
You mention at the end of your write up that if the cap increases it would help the Chargers out. Wouldn't the cap increase for everyone, in which case it's just inflating prices on the same pool of players? How does that help the Chargers out?
You are correct. I'm just focused on how they fill out their roster within the current constraints. $5M or $10M more to spend on the 9 roster spots up in the air based on my assumptions would make that much easier. The fact that it would make decisions easier on other teams doesn't make that untrue.
I guess it will depend on how much competition there will be for the players the Chargers end up pursuing.
Supposedly, the Chargers wanted Herbert over Tua going into the draft. That is a bit self-serving to say after the draft, but it may be true.
I expect it will take some time.Jail said:
John Jefferson had a fantastic rookie year, but had the misfortune to come out the same year as Earl Campbell, who won the award by half a vote.
I'd put Rivers ahead of Fouts. It's really hard to compare across positions to Tomlinson or Seau. Those four, in whatever order, are a full tier above anybody else for me. (I can only go back to the late 1970s -- I never saw Lance Alworth play, or anyone else from the pre-Fouts era.)
Fouts and his chargers played a kind of offense the nfl hadn't really seen before. In a league that was plodding, they were a blast to watch. For his involvement in that, I'll always put Fouts first, at least until someone has a comparable career and wins a championship. Admittedly this is not numbers based, it's about the team that captured my attention and made me a charger fan.Maurile Tremblay said:
Can’t tell you how many times I saw an amazing catch of his and tried to imitate it in the back yardJJ might be my favorite bolt of all time. I was really sad when he split. He was good for some crazy grab nearly every game. I alsothe td top spin he did with the football, 1st guy I saw do that.
If they didn't get that out of watching their own team play for the past 8+ years (8 for Telesco), I seriously doubt they had a revelation watching the Super Bowl.

Thanks for the great seasons you led the Chargers to, and all the other contributions you made over the course of your life.
Slight quibble, and I may be showing my age but I would probably sub in Darren Bennett for Scifres. Bennett didn't have the distance but I felt like he would have won the hangtime battle and maybe after being a charger fan for so many years I have PTSD waiting for the chargers special teams unit to let the team down and lead to a loss. Every fair catch is a bullet dodged in my book. Besides, "THAT is not a punt, THIS is a punt!"
Could not disagree more. Is this a serious or sarcastic post?
Yeah that was definitely sarcasm.
. I understand that Eli was clutch when it mattered most, and I had to hate him less after how he did the Patriots and all, but man give me Rivers all day.
