    Going to circle right back to Bjian Robinson as a back you align in slot multiple sets to create mismatches and increase touches, especially if Eckler walks. KC likes to put their playmakers in the slot and invest heavily via draft. Could see Flowers/Addison in that role as well, but must address backfield with elite hands.

      I would dearly love to see Mack & Bosa rushing with a solid DL, LB(s) and DBs on the field at the same time for some games. There was a lot of "New" that never got running smoothly together. I still feel that this Chargers team could be among the best.
      1/2 game to be exact. Now, I know all teams have to deal with injury. But I'm hard pressed to find a team that had 4 Pro Bowlers out by the end of game 3 of the season (KA, Bosa, Slater, Linsley)... much less a team that finished 10-7.

      Bosa and Mack combined for 5.5 sacks through the first 2 games (LV and KC).

      Our starting line-up is very good. Next step is to fill the few starting positions early (CB, maybe FS). Then address depth... WR, TE, RB, LB, Edge, DL, OL

        Btw - fun fact, little known in TPB - QSmokey is in fact a bear. its the reason he resists hugs - he’s hurt people in the past. When bears hug, they really go for it … not always a pretty result.
        I cheat.

          All he has to do is look across the locker room at JCJ

                  Quentin Johnson may be who we draft.
                  My point is that an apparently speedy and athletic WR
                  is not necessarily who we should be looking for..
                  We do not play modern football.

                    He would be replacing Sanders but interestingly enough, Hurts had 165 carries himself.
                    That's a lot for a QB and likely why he missed 2 games with a shoulder injury or he might have had 200. Sanders had 249.

                    They need Hurts to run less.

                    Hope they don't pick Bijan top 10. Gotta pay Hurts after this season.

                        Then I’d not oppose selecting Jahmyr Gibbs

                          If Bijan is gone I wouldn't hate grabbing Gibbs.To everyone that says we have to run block better to improve our sorry ass run game well get use to what we have cuz barring injury this o line good or bad is pretty much set in stone.The Only other alternative or addition is a true #1 RB which Eke is not and never will be.Gibbs Along with Eke I think would vastly improve our shitty run game and finally give our offense a balanced attack.Now if Bijan falls to us I think him and Eke would do serious damage to opposing defenses which would allow Herb to go off too.
