Loved the indirect jab to Staley about making star players do "everything" lol

Exactly, Derwin THRIVES near the box, and Staley would put him as a deep safety, handicapping gimmick on his best strengths

[@Fy135_]

“We don’t just tell guys to go play a coverage, we adjust game to game & play to play” YES YES YES. Finally a coach who’s ready to let guys flourish in what they do best & not just saying “do it this way “

You said the same thing about Staley 3 years ago

[@dandeitch3459]

To put some of the blame on Staley is understandable, but Telesco was terrible throughout his tenure

[@thefinalvalley]

@@CP-ct5hpDifference is their system is a proven success in multiple places (Ravens last year, Michigan since they’ve been there, Harbaugh’s 49ers), not just the rams while having the best dt ever and a top 3 cb. Staley fooled people but was quickly exposed and the way Minter speaks is much more mature. Staley was very “my system or nothing” and Minter is clearly looking moreso at the overall picture. Plus Minter isn’t the HC so if SOMEHOW he’s awful, Harbaugh will most certainly make changes.

This guy is gonna transform our mentality and defense

So much versatility in disguised coverages with Jesse Minters’ schemes! Games are gonna be fun to watch!

It's a strange feeling to have 110% faith in our coaches and staff.

[@CP-ct5hp]

It’s a new girlfriend. You’ll see all the flaws soon, just wait

[@dannyevilcat]

I have doubts about Greg Roman, but then again, there wasn't a whole lot out there to choose from. But I agree, complete faith in Harbaugh and Minter, even though they've got their work cut out for them.

[@devinoneil4686]

I remember watching Staley tell Derwin “you can do this you can do that you can play star you can play nickel you can do anything” which I was hyped for at first but it just ended up being confusing for everyone on defense. Hearing minter talk about just getting him going and being around the ball is so refreshing after 3 years of defensive confusion

[@montfordpointmarines9474]

Can't wait to see the team transformation. ⚡⚡⚡

[@perryickes8991]

I'm a Raider fan already dreading what Harabaugh is going to coach this team to really be. I expect the Chargers to make a major turn around immediately. Super bowl ? Yes I'm taking the Odds they win it All Harabaugh first year.

[@mgoboski]

Insane defensive IQ. We had Mike MacDonald in 2021 as DC, who obviously has shown he's elite by being a NFL HC now, but Minter was even better at Michigan.

[@montfordpointmarines9474]

Can't wait to see the 2024 Chargers. ⚡⚡⚡

As a huge Michigan fan I’m happy for charger fans. These two coaches will completely transform this team. It will take time but the Los Angeles chargers are gonna be a scary team soon.

Bro, this guy so smart the way he communicates what it takes to lead a defense is completely the opposite of what Staley was trying to do, which was over complicate things, and all about play calls were none of the play Calls even worked.

I like how he keeps things simple. Not too much information just enough to make you see “I know what I’m doing”. Staley would give us too much to make people believe that he knows what he is doing.

I think they're going to make the playoffs but they're still going to be looking up at the Chiefs.. they must decrease so we can increase

[@MrOnelove18]

[@xxbreachnbabyxx]

With Eric cut and Mike Will most likely being cut as well, they can still make a splash in FA still. Get Bosa and Mack on extension to around $25M a year mark and extend Keenan closer to $20M a year, that should get them under the cap by $40M. Then I would make a play for either Wilks or Chris Jones for the same contract as Bosa/Mack, then sign Calais Campbell to a 1 to 2 year fully guaranteed deal to anchor the run. Watch how fast that line takes over games.

So smart and such a great Segway from college because that’s what we have been missing, we need to draft players and coaches to beat the Chiefs and that’s what it is about. Before they were just try to focus on their own identity and they had no real goals, and the team that they created did nothing against other teams. Now we are building a team from scratch to destroy the Chiefs and God is my witness we’re going to end the Mahomes era.

No. All NFL players are adequately talented. Elite coaches take the talent that is placed in their hand and and catalyze it-and Jesse states exactly that.
