2022 Official Chargers Season Discussion

[Velo]

Tillery,

Tillery has not been an effective edge rusher. They tried that and it didn't work. Tillery's strength is getting pressure up the middle, he seems to have some ability there, but from the edge I don't think so.

Jason Moore is on the regular roster and Bandy is back down on the PS. I don't know if that is going to be permanent, maybe it has to do with special teams, but I much prefer to have Bandy as a WR over Moore. Bandy Gets Open (BGO). He was all alone on when Herb hit him deep on a couple of throws Sunday. He is always going to draw the least capable defenders and he can beat them. We need more of that.

With Bosa out for the majority of the season, would you trade for a veteran edge rusher? Mack, bless him, has 5 sacks, one off the league lead held by the brother of Joey. But Rumph is not going to provide enough of a threat on the other side to keep defenses honest against Mack until/if Bosa can return. I don't know if Van Noy is going to provide that either. The guy who Tenn waived and the Chargers picked up, Derrek Tuszka, is an unknown.

The Texans signed Jerry Hughes to a two year contract this season. He's been in the league since 2010, is 34, and played for Buff for nine seasons through 2021. His production decline quite a bit in 2021, but he has four sacks already this season - 2 each v. the Colts and Broncos. He didn't do much against the Chargers' OL on Sunday.

The Texans are going nowhere this year and look to be very possibly the worst team in the league. I wonder if they'd be open to trading Hughes for a low-round pick next season. The Chargers' depth at edge was a concern going into this season, and now they are without Bosa for the majority of the season. One way to counter the lack of talent opposite Mack is to have a surplus of bodies they can rotate in and out to keep guys fresh and have that advantage.

Coach Staley coached Pernell McPhee in Chicago in 2018. He is an unsigned free agent.

not sure of the logic there.... Tillery gets pressure on the QB.... not sure it matters where you line him up.

the liability comes from him not setting the edge, and wherefrom the need is to hedge your bets w/a LB shading him.

Bradley played Tillery on the edge too. It hasn't worked. It's only something you do every once in a while, but not something you want to do on a full time basis.

It does matter where a player lines up, whether they are going to be effective rushing the passer. Rushing from the edge and coming up the middle require different skill sets. Elite players such as Bosa can get to the QB from just about anywhere. But Tillery does not have the moves to be an effective edge rusher. They tried him there and it didn't work.

Great another prospect, if he's in football shape.

Tillery,

Tillery may be quick for an IDT but is he really fast enough to play effective outside edge? Honest question, i don’t know. I see 4.93 posted for him for the 40.

I guess making two catches for fifty yards is unacceptable. I can't quite figure this coaching staff out. I said before the start of the season that we have the players now but do we have the right coaching staff? I wonder about that even more now. I sure wish they'd get it figured out before it's too late.

What are they watching?

I fear someone will snatch Bandy from the practice squad.
