This is no accident fellas.
Watch the Staley interview and Ekeler interview from today. Pay attention to Ekeler’s explanation of “our way”. Staley is doing things completely different in a next gen kind of way. The team is buying into it and it’s working.
I repeat, this is not an accident.

A lot of people in and around the NFL feel the same way.

I’m stealing this from another guy who said Brandon Staley is the Justin Herbert of coaching

Staley is the definition of a head coach, he’s not just a coordinator type. I believe staley and herbert will win a couple of superbowls and they will become the NFL benchmark for the next 10 years. his staff will be on the short list to get head coaching jobs around the NFL.
The way this era is beginning, it’s already showing signs that it will surpass the coryell/fouts era, the ross/seau era, and the marty/tomlinson era. And once they win a superbowl they’ll also eclipse the gillman/hadl era which has an AFL championship to it’s name.

After a fairly challenging day, I was sitting with a friend and colleague trying to help him get past some things. Anyway, over a glass of cognac the conversation drifted to NFL, and the Chargers. I said they seemed to be doing well, 3-1 record behind great play from their QB Herbert. His reply got me thinking a bit......'if they are winning because of their QB play, opponents will figure that out.' I understand, as does my friend, you need your best players to show in order to win consistently at top level. I believe his comment was more directed to being the wins were very similar..... My question to those that have watched all game, are the wins similar in format?

No, the defensive and offensive fronts started to get an edge in Week 3 against the Chiefs after not being all that in Weeks 1 & 2, and then took a huge step up against the Raiders. The oline in particular performed extremely well against a previously high performing Vegas defensive front. If the oline and dline play continues to improve as the season progresses, the entire load will not need to be carried by their young & uber-talented QB. |

My question to those that have watched all game, are the wins similar in format? That's a valid question, Disc, and I think the answer is "no, the wins are not exactly similar." Of course Justin Herbert, like any good starting QB, is the impetus for the offense and his outstanding play is the #1 reason we've been winning games. But he isn't gun-slinging every game and carrying the team alone. In week one he found Keenan early and often, the next few weeks it was Mike Williams, last game it was the TEs and Ekeler. I think this is indicative of game planning the opponent and mixing things up just enough to be different, creative and less predictable for Defenses to figure out. And speaking of defenses, it really has been a team effort in the wins this year. Certainly some good offensive performances, but the defense has gotten better and I think has held each opponent to their lowest production of their four games this year- especially in the passing game!

I'm not fighting with you just to fight either. I'll delete my post if you tell me to. Game 1 our Oline got raving reviews after a stellar performance. Chase Young, Montez Sweat, etc etc. Slater's perfect play, blah blah etc. ........

My question to those that have watched all game, are the wins similar in format? Here is what I believe: Good QB's are going to stay good, for two reasons. Great throws, and the rules of the game favoring offense in a passing league. You have a great throw virtually the only way to stop it is with a penalty. Either way the ball is going to move up the field.

And the pass protection was very solid with the exception of struggles at RT. However, the oline didn’t have their act together in the run game in both the Skins & Cowboys games. That switch has flipped, and it bodes well going forward. |

Few rushing attempts was by design.

The oline got great grades in the Washington game, and played great. The scheme was burn them with the pass that game. Few rushing attempts was by design. 29 carries for 90 yards. Generally when you are scheming to burn teams with the pass game and the oline run blocks well, the average per carry is well above average. When they attempted to run against Washington, it didn’t work at all. |
