That is if the Chargers are going to have a sucsessful run at a superbowl then our run defense has to vastly improve. Because when it really matters come playoff time and we're the worst run defense in the NFL we won't make it past the first round. My hope is that we can get in a top 15 rush defense along with our number 1 pass defense and this defense could be very scary.
I complained about this a lot last season and for good reason

Yeah i forgot how bad our special teams was last year especially the kicking game. But I disagree with you that Special Teams was our biggest problem last year. Yes the kicking game cost us a few games but imo the run defense was the biggest issue on this team.

You have to at least be able to control the line of scrimmage on one side of the ball (offense or defense) to probably have a real shot at being a true contender. Typically outside of a few exceptions, not being to run the ball on offense AND stop the run on defense is a combination that WILL get to beat.

I though our run D improved with Perrys return. We were stout when the field became short which is probably the most important. 1styear on a new defense too... dont forget that. We added some nice pieces through the draft which I think is going to help down the stretch. Most top teams still have areas for improvement too. This will not be the same D as last year.
We get a lot of talent infused this year with MW and lamp coming back. We had rookies really step up last year. We have really solid depth in most places. Offensively we are stacked well and an offense that ca score quickly can drive teams toabandon the run too.
im not worried yet. Give this new team a chance.
