Talking Chargers - What do you know?

[Jeremy Igo]

I don't know a while heck of a lot yet on the Chargers season. 

 

What do I need to know about them?

Starting a very poor man's version of Teddy at QB. Lots of receiving weapons including the poor man's CMC in Austin Ekeler.

15th in Passing Offense, 17th in Rushing Offense on Football Outsiders

11th in Passing Defense, 15th in Rushing Defense on Football Outsiders

They have the 11th highest Adjusted Sack Rate, so they do a good job of getting to the QB. It will be a challenging day for Teddy in the pocket again. 

 

Correction: They are actually 22nd in Adjusted Sack Rate, which is a little surprising. So Teddy might actually be able to sit back and pick them apart. 

That is actually encouraging.

If you have any of their offensive players in FFB - start them up. Another loss coming. I’m sure whichever QB they choose to start will look fantastic.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Chargers' team doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod Taylor’s lung while trying to administer a pain-killing injection during pregame warmups in Week 2
 

looks like the rookie will start

What in the goddamn fug???

Shouldn't that say, "former" team doctor?

[Soul Rebel]

We will get to see a QB that might have been on our radar as an option in the '20 draft. I watched some of the LAC-KC game and Herbert looked good. Not Mahomes good, but smart and managed the game well without making a lot of mistakes, good. 

I'm sure part of it was the Chiefs preparing for Tyrod, so Carolina will have some tape on Herbert now. 

Hopefully we break out and get some sacks this weekend....especially with the familiarity that Okung and our OL coach have with their system.

Probably not enough for a win, but this is a game on the schedule that should be circled as "winable"

Probably that they’re not going to lose their second straight game on Sunday. 

[LinvilleGorge]

The Chiefs had to hit a 58 yard FG deep into OT to squeak past them.

Reminds me of those "wanna get away" commercials...

Their D is fuging good, really good. Herbert played well last game but is still a rookie, so who knows what'll happen with him. Their OL is questionable, not sure how Turner has played his first couple games there though. They have some pretty solid weapons when they're healthy with Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Hunter Henry (what could've been, Igo...) and Austin Ekeler is no scrub. 

 

I think they'll compete for a wildcard in the AFC, especially with the expanded playoffs. I'd be surprised if this game is as close as the last 2, they should take care of us pretty easily, especially without McCaffrey going up against their D.

[LinvilleGorge]

Herbert will probably be getting hyped as the next coming after this Sunday. Just sayin'.

[Shocker]

Might seem silly but this is a winnable game
