The Jim Harbaugh Hiring Has Been A MASSIVE Success For The Los Angeles Chargers Already

[@alanteague2799]

Loving Jim Harbaugh!! Loving Joe Ortiz and the magic they possess. The fact Ortiz can't find a star running back on waivers is there are none to be found. Same goes for recievers. Time, a diamond is not formed over night. As far as the O.C. personally I will give him the season to see where he ends up. Remember, the players play. However, the coaching on the other side of the ball is really, really standing out. Good show! You earned your like. 👍

[@jonathanperpich5676]

I couldn’t agree with you both more. I just couldn’t understand - for the life of me - why Roman was designing patterns for 3rd down situations that were 3 and 4 yards short of the sticks. Harbaugh has been a Godsend for this team and us fans. I’ve been a diehard fan for 62 years. My dad began as an usher at Balboa stadium and worked his way to being in charge of the press box. I watched Jack Murphy stadium being built in my backyard. Never once in all those years have I felt such a sense of confidence in our coach, save perhaps Don Coryell or Bobby Ross. I am so grateful I have lived long enough to see this day.

It would be such a relief to beat the Chiefs in arrowhead and the offense click on all cylinders in the game coming up Sunday night go Chargers!

[@JLM_79]

Drafting a TE or Interior O-line/D-line should be the priority in the first round.

[@jeffbounds7025]

I agree stud. I think if we take care of the Center position with a bonified talent, first and foremost, other positions on offense will immediately look better.

[@keroutson]

@@jeffbounds7025 - it’s highly doubtful they will draft an interior OL in the 1st.

[@brianaltman9258]

It’s going to be DL if I had to guess. They wanna build and win in the trenches and any IOL would be a reach for us in the first round. Not to mention if he passed on Nabers this year at #5 I can’t imagine we look at a TE in the first this year. But I completely agree with our needs

[@smh0825]

The future of the Chargers is undoubtedly bright. I just wish we could play the Chiefs this year without injuries piling up right before the game. First time around we didn’t have either of our tackles, Bosa, or Derwin. This time around we’re missing JK and possibly Ladd, our 2 best offensive weapons. Hoping for a similar score to the first game, but this time as the victor. Go Bolts!

[@keroutson]

Rice got injured early on when they played the Chargers and Pacheco didn’t play. The Chargers aren’t the only team with injuries to key players.

[@d619r2]

I said this on a different post but, I think before jim harbaugh, some if not all of our stars treated the game as a business. That's because of the losing and the bad coaching/ownership. Like "if I'm gonna be here, I better at least get my money. This is the business side of football." That would make sense with how keenan didn't want to take less money. What I have seen with my eyes is how the players act like a high school team (they're not playing like one, finish reading the rest before saying that I'm calling our team a high school team) after wins. What I mean by this is the joy, the laughter, the smiles, the memories. When you're playing high school football, you're playing because you love the game. The odds are stacked against you, making it a career, so you play for the fun and to be a part of the team with friends, etc. The time when the only thing you win is per se bragging rights but still takes all the risks to lose everything. When you played to win the game and do it with the person next to you. You play to win because of the person next to you. This, from what I've seen, is what jim is doing. He got the guys having fun and smiling, and with the "for hes a jolly good fellow" thing, I think it shows that the team is now playing for each other rather than for themselves. Previous years and the Bengals this year is our example of team success is better than individual success. Tho, individual success will normally sort itself out with team success. One of the greatest team sports stories I've heard is the steve Kerr, Michael Jordan fight story. As good as Jordan was, his greatest ability was holding his teammates accountable for being better. Because he knew, even as the goat, you can't do it alone in a team sport. I see this mentality in this team. Everyone is holding everyone accountable.

[@Itsreload]

OC needs to mix it up. Not every play needs to be the deep ball. Use the QJ screen game more. He can YAC better. Gus was running fine. He was over 5 yards per carry. We just stopped using him. We can do the 3rd and Ladd when we need it. We don't need back to back 20 yard throws that take too long to develope. That's why Herbert was getting sacked. Also, why don't we roll Herbert out so he at least has the option to run?

[@nalan7340]

I love the show. Thanks for answering my question, guys!

[@wiggybruce7938]

poona ford needs a shout out helps make the defense better fantastic on the run great job .>>>>keep up the great play !!! POONA FORD !!!

[@alancleary4660]

Hey guys. I've got a couple of questions for you. Do you think we should sign Leonard Fournette and the ex Saints wr Thomas? I do. It's been rumored that either the Chief's or the Bills are thinking about signing Fournette.

[@brandonmitchell6351]

Thomas no……not worth the headache. And no to Fournette. Bricks for hands and he’s probably just as good as Gus Edwards is currently

[@alancleary4660]

​@@brandonmitchell6351we I'm thinking if the Chief's think Fournette was worth it they wouldn't be talking about signing him? Look at DHop. Everyone thought he wasn't worth it! Looks to me that he was worth signing!

[@brandonmitchell6351]

@ D Hop could still ball. Just not what he used to be. 50% of D Hop is better than most receivers still

[@tekilerooficial]

we are in the playoff picture year one of the rebuild i don’t know if any of you remember year one of a rebuild by the lions they went 0-16 so we are light years ahead so let’s enjoy get behind our boyz and BTFU

[@COACHTY1]

@ why do you all keep calling this a rebuild? It’s not a rebuild. We just got new coaches. We have a lot of the same people playing from last year. He AFC is wide open why do we have to be in rebuild mode? This may be the year that we can sneak in and make some noise all we need is someone who can catch the ball and get open other than Ladd our defense is good however we will need more points scored going further if we want to make some noise in the playoffs to me the only team that looks solid is Buffalo anybody else can be beat on any given day let’s at least give ourselves a chance

[@keroutson]

@@COACHTY1 - some have suggested it’s a soft rebuild when considering they lost their CB, C, RBs, TEs, and their two starting. receivers and DTs.

[@keroutson]

@@COACHTY1 - for you to write “ we just got new coaches “ makes it seem that you don’t follow the Chargers very well

[@Michael_BoltMan]

Of all the positions there are available in the draft, the running back position is the most difficult to be sure of getting one that will give you immediate success. Thats why I believe it’s better to draft a tight end with a high pick, and look for someone to fill the running back need with a pick in the later rounds. Especially because there are a lot of good running backs that will be available this year. I’d be happy with investing a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a running back, and then maybe another one in the last couple of rounds. I trust Harbaugh and Ortiz know what to look for in a running back, so they will be able to find one after day 2 that will be a solid player for years to come.

[@mrperfqtdsenju5899]

I understand that Harbough has made everyone fall in love with the trenches but Skills pay the damn bills! We need skill position players. We def need a solid O-line interior, but we can’t have solid blocking and not a damn soul to throw too but Ladd n Dissly!

[@ezshottah3732]

I initially assumed we would go defensive tackle in the 1st round but we’ve gotten really great play out of Poona and tart

[@keroutson]

They were signed for just one yr. If Grant falls to them in the 1st I can’t see them passing him up.

[@ezshottah3732]

@ I’ll check him out thx

[@keroutson]

YW! I’m hoping for Loveland or Warren but I can see them addressing the trenches early on. They don’t have anyone long term at DT.

[@td4637]

The most important thing Harbaugh did was hire Jesse Minter. And while we all are impressed with Hortiz, in retrospect I think we would've been better off to let Bosa go and keep Allen.

[@jeffbounds7025]

I think the Chargers are over-achieving, due to Harbaugh. As fans, we complain about this or that, and we are probably correct in pointing out deficiencies. I think the team has even surprised coaching and management, that may be the reason we didn't push more chips in on the trade deadline for WR or TE. We are not perfect, but that was to be expected. I think we know now exactly what we need to address in the draft and offseason, in the meantime enjoy this overachieving team, how far can they go with a subpar roster? Exciting...

[@Electric_Funeral]

I give Harbaugh an 89.93. 😅 mostly because of the Greg Roman Experience. It’s not just the hire, it’s the lack of adjustment and the inconsistency of hiring a “run culture” guy and then completely abandoning the run game. I’m also taking a point away for that Bermuda Triangle route concept putting 3 guys standing in the middle of the field bunched together that got Herbert sacked in Atlanta. But everything else is muah! Chef’s kiss

[@Magooswaorld]

Why it seems like Hubert doesn't throw it down field like he did his rookie season is. Because he isn't throwing it 40 plus yards down field as much. Highlight reel. Is what people remember

[@jeffbounds7025]

Herbert might have to look for Palmer more in the passing game, just because he is more familiar with him. Justin will have to be very accurate because Palmar doesn't get separation like he used to. Use Ladd on 3rd downs if available, mostly. We have to give the running game more of a chance if we are going to do anything, that includes giving Vidal more chances, let him get into a rhythm.

[@enemy805]

We need to use palmer as a possession wr/chain mover. Qj needs to get on better page with Herbert on go balls. run Edward's 15 carries minimum a game till jk back

[@bwbounds]

where is dj Clark?

[@LexiconBeast]

8 wins with a year where they’re patchwork is definitely a noticeable feat. I don’t like the Harbaugh stubbornness. He needs to adapt to this modern day league. This isn’t college ball, and this team isn’t the 49ers 10 years ago. That being said, whatever Harbaugh is feeding the team is working. The team is not complete by his envisioning, but he has the boys playing hard. He won the locker room quickly which speaks volumes.

[@COACHTY1]

Herbert cant throw to who is not open .Its Greg Romans wack offense We need someone who can actually get down field to Throw to. QJ is taking up space I wonder what he shows in practice That warrants all the play time he gets Im sorry But Ortiz is part responsible for not addressing our receiver room . I just Saw a Guy named Josh Reynolds got waived by Denver i looked st his highlights he looks just as good as QJ might be worth a Look .

[@brandonmitchell6351]

You made two points. I don’t think it’s Greg Roman, it’s our receivers. Our receivers can’t get any seperation. It’s more of a personnel issue. Not saying Roman is perfect, but that’s my take

[@keroutson]

@@brandonmitchell6351 - Agree, the Chargers have a bottom tier receiver room. Ladd is their only wr who consistently creates separation. Perhaps the original post isn’t taking into consideration that Hortiz inherited the worst cap situation and a roster that had many areas to address. Hortiz can accomplish only so much in just one off-season but overall he has done a great job. This draft class is better than any of Telesco’s during his tenure. Just my two cents that’s maybe worth a penny!

[@COACHTY1]

@@brandonmitchell6351 That’s Fair

[@COACHTY1]

@@keroutson You’re the only reason I say he must accept some responsibility because it seems like every other week he’s bringing in some DB or a safety from somewhere but he’s never addresses the interior of our offensive line or the receiver room but they always find a little money to add a defensive back or a linebacker. One of those big slow ends that we don’t need Greg Romans run approach is not working.

[@keroutson]

@@COACHTY1 - Hortiz has been bringing in some DBs because of the injuries they’ve had in their secondary. What players at the wr position and interior o line do you think they sign ? Perhaps they have been expecting more from Palmer and more consistency with QJ.

[@Jcota86]

⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@codywirth8190]

This Roman offense is stale, lacking creativity and has zero explosive factor made even worse by these "weapons". Shame to see this defense getting hung out to dry every week and seeing Herbert's otherworldly talents get wasted another year.

[@dontnonowuno9953]

We're 8-4 heading toward a playoff spot? I think the number one thing Justin needs is to win if he wants respect .Even the haters know he's a beast and the only thing they got is lack of postseason

[@codywirth8190]

@ They won't give him respect if he's winning and throwing for only 150 yards a game.

[@bwbounds]

little silly think they can pull switch and run ball physically when they haven't done that ever. they have to throw on early downs and throw to open up the run.

[@HOUSEOFHIXON]

🤘💙💪💙⚡️

[@bwbounds]

no matter who you bring in as RB, nobody can do it regularly behind this line.

[@ericborchers9447]

First round RB, really? I see them going after a guard, Center or TE.

[@dougbosworth8745]

If QJ and Disley catches those two they misses each game its a differant story .

[@nicholaspetrilli3971]

I want Herbert to take more chances to guys that he doesn’t think are open. It’s not that I want him to take more deep Shots.

[@azzypgaming619]

They need to play other WR and TE more I wanna see more of chark he’s more reliable then Johnston I wanna see more smart at TE he’s tall good hands and and he’s faster then disley

[@Hancock-r2v]

I'm not impressed by our offensive coordinator why are we going away from the run dude what is going on with the last game we hardly ran it and are rushers had 5 yards per carry

[@noahcostalez7979]

DJ Chark could add to our offense but he is not real sadly.

[@Hancock-r2v]

Well no shit😂

[@texmcboog]

So which is it? GRo’s whack offense or lack of receiver talent? I say Receivers. I would rather Herbo eat a sack than throw a pick.

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Relax on Roman bashing . Castoffs and extremely young skill players dont exactly scream easy .Weve done what we needed to win . Comfortably in some games

[@patrickdelacruz68]

Yea smart lol have your franchise qb do more cause there’s no one else smh dude just finally got healed up now take more risk lmao yall funny af

[@harmon7896]

The chiefs own u guys

[@Hancock-r2v]

Are we ever going to give Gus Edwards a f****** chance to run the ball or what are we just going to give him a few carries a game and then shut down the run game it's a joke

[@Hancock-r2v]

So you guys what the f*** is going on with Brandon rice we've heard nothing we've seen nothing we're just all curious what's going on can you tell us like talking about stuff we already know we know Jim harbaugh's good how about answering some of our questions
