Bootleg.
It's a good play, it creates a lot of options, and you don't need to pass pro for eight seconds.We do not play modern football.

When QB is running bootlegs, it forces the DE or OLB on the backside to slow his pursuit down the line. That is how the D stop players from cutting back into all the creases that zone running opens up. If that player is missing, even if they set the edge, and play the front of the play well, the creases that open up on the backside will be open unless that DE or OLB is there to close them down.
Hebert has also done a lot of zone reads, bubble screens and RPO's, which are other tactics that offenses use to slow the backside pursuit on the zone running game. Rivers could run bubble screens, but that is not a good play for us the last few years (whiz used to run it into press coverage, which I think is a mistake), and Phil did some RPO's, but the zone read thing was not really there. It is just another set of tools for the tool box.

Would you have felt better if the Chargers had drafted an OT in the 5th round or later? If so, they would end up with a Stormy Daniels (sorry cannnot remember the kids name but it has storm in there somewhere) type player. They already picked up Stormy and he has some pro experience already, too. So in a way, they did get what you are looking for.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

I know it's cliche, but the game is won or lost in trenches, and it's not like the Chargers have been dominant there. Given Telesco's poor luck drafting OL, I wonder if he's gun shy about investing draft capital in OL now, preferring to build thru FA and trades.

Although I would have liked us to find some Beef, we are not thin there...young fatties on both sides of the ball. But where we were thin, or had holes was WR 3, return man, special teams, and we only had 2 backs, both smallish. I like the picks, and am OK with filling needs on day 3, provided they are good players...and not sure if a fattie on day 3 would have improved or fixed a position.Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT
