I read that Gates missed two key blocks on the first series that led to the initial 3 and out. And the subsequent, eh, punt.
Gates was never much of a blocker. Why do that?

They need to get away from running from the shotgun formation. I wish they would get away from always passing in the shotgun formation also. I just wanna see a lot more plays under center with some playaction mixed in, atleast when they are in the redzone.Comment

Agreed. The shotgun was never designed to be an every play formation. It limits us so much. I guess the coaches see more than we do, but damn, it sure seems obvious to this casual fan.Originally posted by chris9341 View PostComment

I think the offense will be just fine. Our points weren't just due to garbage time - KC's secondary was getting torched (mostly deep) for a good portion of the game. Protection was good, Rivers had time, and looked a lot smarter - only 1 pick (threw 6 last year combined in both KC games). Had Tyrell and Benji done their jobs and completed those catches, the game would have looked very different in the 4th quarter. We would have been in position to win even with all the other screw ups in the game.
Run blocking was improved overall as well. Our backs are going to be a huge part of the offense this year. We have 2 backs that can catch out of the backfield and run well enough. And that's without Lamp on the field. I would love to see some 2 back sets employed from time to time.
I feel like the biggest problem with the Chargers is that they can never get all 3 phases of the game going simultaneously. You think you've fixed a problem and another rears its ugly head. Last year the defense was #3 in the league. Right now it doesn't look great without Bosa - Bradly needs to find a solution and fast.
ST looks atrocious. I do not trust the ST coach and I do not trust Sturgis to be clutch when needed. I don't think Stewart can get it done.
I feel like the offense is going to be the least of our concerns this year, but I could be wrong. Ultimately Lynn needs to do a better job, hold people accountable on his staff, and heads need to roll soon if things aren't addressed. Stewart should be the first on the chopping block.Last edited by SDBORN; 09-11-2018, 10:03 PM.Comment

Great post. Totally agree. Glad you mentioned that about the yards and receptions we got when KC was in prevent defense. You're right on everything. Excellent points. Sadly for us.Comment

I wanna explain why I want us to establish the run more mixed in with some playaction passes. To me the most dangerous offense is when you can march down the field on 10 plus minute drive. Then hopefully your defense gets a quick 3 and out and your offense goes on another 10 plus minute drive and scores. Do you know how demoralizing that is to a defense? Then that is when you open it up and you open up the flood gates and you throw some deep passes.Comment

Agreed. Often times it seems like our big gains on the ground could be even bigger but MG3 makes a bad read and breaks the wrong way.I'll ride the wave...where it takes me.Comment

Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
