I was at the game and I can tell you everyone around me was terrified they were going to go for two and elated when the kicker trotted out. Some were even cheering...

You’re right in this regard. But remember that all analytics does is give you a binary choice of going for it or not. You still need to pick the right plays and execute. It’s like running the ball against a weak run defense. It’s common sense to do something like that. But if you fail, was it wrong to run? Or did you just picked the wrong plays to run against said weak defense?

I know it sounds counter intuitive but I think I prefer a RT that is better at run blocking than pass blocking just because the best way to support 10 is to give him a dominant run game.
as impressive as his 4th quarter comeback tie was, I would hate to see him fling it 60 times in a row ever again.
We had to out of necessity but point is that no one wants to see a repeat of Rivers killing himself without a run game.
Herbert himself has wheels so improving run blocking helps him directly and indirectly.
FA for D and rb
Draft: finish the OlineG-Ro knows.

We should be adding depth on both the O and D lines every year.

What counts as depth? Someone who can actually be a full time starter if called upon? I thought Oday was depth given how little we paid him but he turned out to be a good starter. In the draft, do we spend a third day pick like a Jaimes again, or a third round pick to succeed Linsley? Those are the questions that go through my mind.
But if you can add a couple more picks in R2-R4 those players are cheap for 4 years - which would be ideal when dealing with Herberts 5th year option and his first year of the new deal. Plus, from a cap hit perspective, Asante Samuels cap hit as a mid 2nd rounder is half the cap hit of the 17th pick.
Also, the Chargers would be able to add depth at more roster spots and you bring up Linsley, they need more younger players.
