Should of bounced that outside! The highest paid DE in football is going to make OTs look bad on occasion. Wasnt he pretty invisible for most of the game otherwise?
The bigger problem with that play is that we are running right into a run blitz by the LB. The safety is also right there. Pretty much every team so far this season has blitzed the shit out of us on run downs. Rivers has got to start checking out of some of these early down runs to give defenses something else to think about.
If I remember correctly last year we were running an absurd rate on 1st down. Clearly teams picked up on that tendancy.
Now it doesn't mean we have to throw it a ton, but they have to add some misdirection and vary the run plays. Oh and for the love of God, less draw plays.

Against the Chargers, Williams abused their 2013 first round pick, D.J. Fluker.
The backside guard and tackle have a "Deuce" block to the "Mike" linebacker. This leaves Mario Williams on the back-side of the play going up against D.J. Fluker mano y mano. Mario comes off the ball with his eyes in the backfield. Fluker takes a zone step to the right. D.J.is trying to scoot as fast as he can to cover up Williams because even though Mario is playing as a back-side "5" (outside shade of the tackle), he still has the speed to make a play on the ball carrier.
Fluker over-steps. He tries too hard to get to the outside shoulder. Mario's a savvy player. He sees the gap between the tackle and guard and quickly shoots into the "B" gap. In this still, you can see the exact moment Mario opts to cut back inside rather than fight the outside shoulder of Fluker.
Mario finds his inner J.J. Watt and gets around the tackle without getting touched. Fluker looks like a drunk in an alley who's feeling the repercussions of drinking a six pack of High Gravities out of his boot.
Fluker still has no idea what happened.
