    The secondary was another weakness with the defense along with poor depth in pass rush on the DL. When you blitz, you need the guys who can cover in the secondary and handle the receivers one-on-one. A lot of people agreed Casey Hayward was getting worse. The roster isn't/wasn't as good as some fans thought. That's why the defense had its struggles. And it's why Staley replaced the guys who left. Even after the draft, there's still more that needs to be done to improve the defense. There's still things that need to be played out.


    That’s why I said in general. His blitz percentage is probably the lowest in the league. It’s a fine system if there’s no big play given up. A trade off from not blitzing as much. But that wasn’t the case last year.

      Our D has a couple of STAR players that need to be healthy because their production is elite when on the field.
      We have a several young ascending dudes that need to continue their upward trajectory.
      There are several guys that have been injured and/or at the end of their current contracts. These dudes need to show UP/out, produce, and earn a new contract or be replaced moving forward.

      Stakey has made a commitment to building a culture and play style of the changing modern game of football. When he proves his football genius, he’ll be able enhance the reputation of a budding juggernaut and bring out the best in our roster.

      We have a nice CAP situation over the next 3/4 years to retain our own and be active in FA as needed.
      We have 11 draft picks in 2022 and all future picks.
      TT/staff put us in strong negotiation position for next offseason with pending FA.
      The biggest other future factors are that we have JH10, location/facilities/climate/media market to attract FA, young/brilliant/hungry coaching staff that understands these young athletes, and hopefully an ownership that just stays out of the way.
      True about all that by why push cap situation out over key player retention (Hunter Henry)? Of all the great moves, this is the one that bothers me, you’ve already paid half that salary to Cook and McKitty when Hunter, albeit possibly injury concerns, was a fit and playing high level. After round one/two TT seemed focused on special team depth/starters. Discussed the Murray trade up, don’t think it was worth it, maybe he realized it and didn’t want to give up draft capital again, least so soon? There was an edge player to be had, reportedly Buffalo had a trade down done until he (Carlos “Boogie” Basham Jr) was still available (#61) wonder if that might have been the Chargers?

        I don't think blitzing is a big part of Staley's defense but was still much higher than Gus last year (25.4% vs 16.3%, lowest in NFL)

        Btw, take a look at the EXP (expected points contributed by defense) column for 2020. Wow.

          I'm expecting at least a 10 rank jump for the chargers just by osmosis from Staley alone. Anything more is just player synergy working for us plus a real game plan from game to game.

              The biggest improvement had better be Special Teams. Fortunately he'll attend those meetings too
