Except that’s not what I was saying to Caslon. This is a separate issue.

Yeah Im speaking to the root cause of why we would be digging thru the trash heap of O linemen.

[Boltjolt]

But wait, we don't throw deep

[jamrock]

He’d be tied with JaMarr except JaMarr bobbled it and gifted Vato with a pick

[blueman]

But wait, we don't throw deep

We don’t throw deep to the “right player.”

[Boltjolt]

We don’t throw deep to the “right player.”

Yet it's working

[Xenos]

Yet it's working

How many sacks and hits did Herbert get today?

[blueman]

Yet it's working

*Sigh*

You’re missing the point.

[Boltjolt]

How many sacks and hits did Herbert get today?

Don't know the numbers but it was plenty

[Xenos]

Don't know the numbers but it was plenty

Well there’s the trade off for going deep then.

I know, but we were able to do it early today. Weren't doing it when our OL wasn't doing that good in the second half.
My point was we have the most 40+ yard pass plays in the league yet guys like Chain complain we don't throw deep but he complains because we don't throw deep to Guyton. I guess throwing it to MW deep don't count....and it's working with him. So ok, Guyton got his today.

I know we don't do it alot but yet we lead the league in those plays.,... Which was a bit of a shock.

[blueman]

I’m sure other teams throw deep, we just have more completions. Which bolsters the Who are we throwing to argument.

it’s working. Just like we won.

Popper was also saying we were able to go deep because Staley knew that the Bengals liked to load up the box. So they took advantage of that until the Bengals adjusted after the half and had more two shells.

The Bengals have a better run defense than pass defense. Staley said he knew coming into the game that Cincinnati liked to load the box with eight-man fronts, often bringing slot corner Mike Hilton on run blitzes. That tended to leave them exposed in coverage, and the Chargers took advantage with their best deep-field weapon and a one-on-one matchup nightmare: Mike Williams.

“They did a good job of switching it up and talking at halftime,” Herbert said. “They get paid to play defense too, and they’re going to have adjustments. I thought we did a good job of taking what we got, and they were there early, and we took advantage of that. But as the game went on, we just tried to get the ball moving as best we could.”
