Official Chargers News - Injury Updates

[Chargerville]

Good coaching staffs overcome injuries. They coach up other players, they scheme around weaknesses. The Rams OL is absolutely outstanding. May be the best in the NFL this year. KC right now is all quick throws. Watch a KC game. Reid is a very, very good OC. He has set up Mahomes to be successful by using the speed of his WR to run short routes that give an easy read, completion, and let the WR run after catch. As Mahomes gets more and more confident he will run a more complete tree and you can see it in some games. What I am trying to say is that the Chargers still have a pass rush. It was just taken away in 2/3 of the games so far. Don't fret too much.

Okay, but if the Chargers pass rush doesn't perform well against the 49ers (Jimmy Garoppolo had already been sacked 13 times in 3 games, and we'll be facing the backup QB) then I think we have to admit that we may have a real problem.

Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Overall grade: 90.4

Melvin Gordon III and Austin Ekeler have formed one of the most formidable running back duos in the NFL through the first three weeks of the season. In 63 total snaps, Ekeler ranks first in overall grade and receiving grade among all running backs this season at 90.4 and 91.1, respectively. Through three games, Ekeler has posted 31 total touches and has forced 11 missed tackles and his 173.9 elusive rating ranks first, by far, at the position. Ekeler has also been a wildly productive receiver out of the backfield, averaging 3.57 yards per route run.

if 3.57 yards per route run is "wildly productive", the bar must be set incredibly low? Are they talking YAC or something else here?

Its per route run not per catch. If you run a route but the ball goes elsewhere, you get 0 yards added to your total. Guys who get the ball a lot do well here.

5. Darius Philon - 74.8

[Formula 21]

Way to go Philon. We knew you had talent when we drafted you.

The OL is in much worse shape than the DL.

A 6th rounder to boot. Nice value grading out that high.......
