Get some stops on D. Make Titans punt. Get takeaway(s).
We can pass, they can't do much about it.
Go Bolts!
Win!
Stay Healthy!

It’s about that time. C’mon Chargers!!

Notice somebody mention Tannihill throwing for a certain yard, personally that’s a non issue, more importantly his ability to scramble for a first down is where the problem might be.

As far as Derrick Henry concern, it is interesting to see how they play him. He usually run out of a single back set; coming down hill and one cut into his desire gap. So it is important to figure out how probable is his selection. Seems like for the most part it depending on which side of the hash he lines up. Running play usually design to attack the A and B gap on either side and depending on which side of the hash line they line up at. From his play and logic, his best bet it to hit the closest gap and go through the line. The close side B gap will present the smallest tackler if he can he probably choose that if he sees the defense is squeeze to the middle. The A gaps would be his shortest route and if he sees a hole, he will try to power through. Now comes the far side B gap, the longest route but also against smaller guys and most empty since defense tend to stay close to the ball with a back like Henry

With that logic, they can’t let him go far B for that big run, and to limit his option to 3. Therefore the far side has to be able to push and hold. That way he doesn’t see an opportunity there and choose the others. IMO it is best for them to force his hand and give him a gap and lead him there just to swamp his later.

Next is their passing game, Treylon is out but their WR play on the outside and stays there, we would have to rely on the man on man outside to keep them in check. That would give more bodies to the inside. I’ve mentioned Okonkwo before, he is an X factor for me. He is going to be a problem in open space, with his size, agility and ability to shed tackles. Probably best to play him tight, and limit his yac. They give him multiple looks, slant, flat, post; so they do use him and in ways that would be problems for the defense to keep him in check with the zone. My take is that it is not detrimental for him to catch the ball in most situation but it is a must for them to stop him after he catch it.

That said, the other TE hooper they can play loose and try to catch him. After all if you can’t catch hooper then what can I say, but play okonkwo tight if the titans show interest in getting him involve.

Want to see how Kenneth Murray holds up against Derrick Henry. Maybe show him who’s the big dog in the A gap.

Find a way.
As close to a must win game as you can get.

I feel like the Chargers will continue to put together a solid game and win this one handily 34-13

I thought Hinton would have played today. He's more of a run defender. Interesting.

If all 3 of the guys are healthy it really would help us a lot.

Very odd to be in a game where we aren’t the most injured.

I cannot remember the last time it has happened

With fingers crossed I will say we seem to be getting healthy at the right time. Now next week I hope it's Bosa and Slater.

So four WRs, four TEs, and Sarell is the backup OT.
