    PFF artical on the secondary.

    It's so loaded we should call it the Firstdairy...



    Modern NFL offenses feature dynamic passing attacks that stress all levels of a defense. PFF data scientists Eric Eager and George Chahrouri have demonstrated that passing is the best way to score pointsLos Angeles ChargersCasey HaywardTrevor WilliamsMelvin Ingram and Joey Bosameasures the amount of time elapsed from snap to pass for every passing play. Last season, quick passes in 2.5 seconds or less had a modest 6.7 yards per attempt with an average depth of target of 6.2 yards. Throws after 2.6 seconds or more spiked to 9.1 yards per attempt with the average depth of target nearly doubling to 12.2 yards. Prolonged times to throw can often yield explosive plays and analyzing cornerback performance in these situations reveals unique insight into coverage ability.

    1. Trevor Williams

    2. A.J. Bouye3. Casey Hayward

    4. Chris Harris Jr.William JacksonDarius SlayXavien HowardRoss CockrellRichard Shermanplaymaker indexDesmond King locked down the slot last season to the tune of an 86.5 overall grade, ranking third-best among slot corners and 13th-best among all corners. Jason VerrettDerwin James. The No. 17 overall pick is a longtime PFF favorite and his 92.1 overall grade last season was tops among all FBS college safeties. Expect the Chargers to employ James as a versatile Swiss-army knife all over the defense. Jahleel Addae rounds out the unit having achieved solid 83.4 (21st) and 85.4 (14th) overall grades the last two seasons.

    As we mentioned before, the Chargers will enter the 2018 season with all the ingredients necessary to make a deep playoff run. With a secondary stacked in talent and a pass-rush buoyed by superstars Bosa and Ingram, the Chargers defense is built to stop the pass. The Jaguars rode a star-studded secondary and ferocious pass-rush all the way to the AFC Championship game last season.

    Can the Chargers replicate that formula in 2018?

    With Casey Hayward and Trevor Williams at the helm of the secondary, the Chargers could be well on their way.

      And we get Verrett back (how long)? We really do have a loaded secondary.

        If we can address the run defense we really have a special D. Need Perryman healthy and would be nice if our new rookiescan step up and contribute too.

        should be a fun year

          Trevor Williams was there at Penn St and the whole NFL missed him - undrafted.

          Man is Trevor looking at a serious couple of pay days in the next few years. Chargers in GREAT shape at DB if Verrett is also healthy. Verrett can play nickle and get healthier as Casey and Trevor start - no need to "fix" what clearly is working.

            Do the Chargers pay three plus quality starting corners when other paydays are coming due? I don't know, but this team is going to have cap issues when top players start moving onto their second contracts. And Verrett has had injury issues that make him look like first man out.

            The team also needs quality backups as they move into a SB run. The window is open. How long can they keep it open?
            Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
            The Wasted Decade is done.
            Build Back Better.

              Williams is younger, bigger, and more reliable. And he fits the secondary perfectly. Verrett is a very special, rare talent. What a nice problem to have.

                Is why id try and trade Verrett but who would take his guaranteed 8 million? Think we are stuck with it. Bad move by Telesco to pick up his option. Knee healed or not, he will go down before mid season.

                  Sources: Nightmare again for the #Chargers, as CB Jason Verrett suffered an injury during the conditioning test that likely will cost him the season. Brutal luck on reporting day.
