Why would we put QJ in the backfield instead of Laviska Shenault? Lavi actually played that position a lot with the Jags and Panthers. 50+ carries with a 5 yard average! Probably a better WR too.⚡️☝️
I was at the game on Sunday at So-Fi. Drove up from San Diego. The LA people need to support the Chargers more or let them build a stadium in San Diego and let them come back.
Screen passes would help out a lot. They just need to focus on blocking. QJ didn’t even block for Ladd on a screen pass and the play got blown up a couple weeks ago
Like the idea alot I'd love to see it, he's always reminded me a bit of Cordarrelle Patterson. With the backs not really taking the opportunity of J.K. being out it's definitely worth a shot, plus it should give him confidence + more ways to get him the ball for yac without it strictly being bubble screens. We need to be able to adjust like the chiefs did 2 weeks ago (couldn't handle pressure hardly at all) Bolts had em quiet until they went all out on the quick game
@joshhughart289 Fair point but I’m not really saying to ground and pound with him in-between the tackles. Just have a package or a couple with him back there for outside runs, or as a check down option with a higher chance of getting him the ball in space as opposed to deep/intermediate stuff that he tends to struggle with rn. I know we hardly throw to the rb but it’s just an idea to get him and the offense some sort of extra dimension. Maybe it helps get Chark out there more to stretch the field and open some other things up, I don’t know I’m just spitballin really
That’s actually a really good take. Using QJ like he’s Percy Harvin or Cordell Patterson. This is Herbert‘s first year without Austin Ekeler and I noticed he haven’t had that check down guy he can go to when pressures in his face like Austin was , so aye man. QJ you’re the new Austin Ekeler. I think that’s actually the best role he could have.
QJ idea sounds good to me. At least worth a shot. But with the abject ineptitude of the offense it seems like many players and strategies should have been at minimum given a reasonable chance. What the heck?
Dan and David. How you guys doing? I know we're all in a better than we were Monday night! Dan, that's a FANTASTIC IDEA of trying out QJ in the backfield! HOLY CRAP! LOL Can you just imagine what the front 7 of the Donkeys would be thinking!!??? They'd probably be like...WTF!!??? Of course we'd have to pick the right time for it too. Like 3rd and say 5+yds? Also how about take shots out to the flats with DD or Palmer. When I watched Kamani's tapes from college, just about every game, the more carries he got the better he'd. Roman's GOT to get his FAT AZZ head out if his Booty hole too! Like you along with just about everyone's been saying. Stay with the DAMN running game! Don't give up just because we're only averaging 2-3 yds/ play!! HIM OF ALL People should know that if you want to have a successful running game, STICK with it! They're going to get tired sooner or later. As long as our defense keeps us close we'll be fine. Thanks guys. BTFU!! My game prediction: Chargers 24-20. Herberts throws at least 2 TD'S. 1 to QJ.
He doesn't really run unless he absolutely has to (or a few times he recognized the coverage early, and took off if there was an obvious hole). I don't think it needs to be a major part of the game plan, more of something to be aware of. That being said, Payton should start using him for QB designed runs more, but I doubt he will, he doesn't seem to like running the ball, even with RBs.
@@Kalikus808 Bo Nix had 61 yards rushing in the first game. They can't allow that to happen. It was the only thing that kept the game close at the end.
If QJ becomes a running back, it will be a disaster. I see multiple fumbles he could barely catch game-winning balls when pressured, I think it’s gonna be a tight game but I won’t be surprised if the Broncos takes that W, Justin Herbert throw it to him even though he’s not open and there’s other receivers that are open do not depend on QJ on those big place all the time results to turnovers common sense he’s not that good yet
@ he’s big, but I guarantee you he will fumble due to lack of experience , running him as a running back will cause him a perfect fumbled less rating…..
@ well those Raven fans weren’t very bright because they were the highest scoring offense in the NFL and Lamar won an MVP in 2019. You can’t get much better offense than that at all.
@@michaelbell75 Lamar's ability to run had a lot to do with that MVP. Kinda of makes it easy to call plays when the defense is scared to death of giving up a long TD to the QB.
Definitely need to establish a good 1st down. too many times we are at 3rd and long, and thats because that 1st down had no production! fighting an uphill battle if we are basically stating at 2nd and long. Its almost like that 1st down means nothing. It needs to mean everything. The Defense is doing well until we start to lean on them for the game, its getting old when the offense is a straight 3 and out and the defense is back out again. We can't win with the defense getting fatigued early on.
I don't see how this is going to work. By putting Johnson in the backfield they're basically admitting that their O-line isn't strong enough to run block.
Generally it's not. Funny sad how pipkins isn't any good at guard either. Man was a huge reach by Telesco. I though Bozmen would be decent but he's not. Zion though improving was supposed to be a high end guard.
Is it too late to experiment? Seems like putting him in a position he’s not use to could lead to turnovers. I think more Vidal would be a better way to get some juice. Love the show:)
The offense has been declining each week sense the game against the Ravens. David said it best. Four quarters of complete football. I think the Broncos are a better club than the Bucks. I also don't believe the Chargers are going to shake the offensive decline. It's time to weed out the players that don't get it done and see if the guys behind have developed. This roster is going to look a lot different next year. It's going to have to if Roman is returning.
I love the Chargers! I have for decades and decades, long long time Chargers fan. But as a betting man I have to take Broncos this week. Please don’t hate me for it.
Nah man. Our Bolts just got absolutely embarrassed, you know they’re coming for blood, especially against a division rival that’s one game ahead of them. BELIEVE!!
QJ gets YAC vs DBs in open space. As a RB, he's got 11 angry men closing on him instantly. I have my doubts. AND let's not forget ... we're only having this discussion because QJ is such an inconsistent, unreliable receiver. Herbert's INT was QJ's fault, watch the tape. He loses sight of the ball in the air, does a 180, then falls down?
I watched highlights of yesteryear Phillip Rivers and that cat got rid of the ball fast unlike Herbert. The plays should be fast not 7 seconds holding onto the ball with happy feet. Roman doesn't use screens or seemingly no creativity on offense. Going up against Sean Payton and his offense which requires an IQ and that was the problem with Russell Wilson. He couldn't figure out the offense. The Chargers are in a heap of trouble against the Broncos.
QJ in the backfield is ridiculous. His best ability is making DBs and safeties miss in the open field. He’s not about to start running between the tackles, he’ll get destroyed. He’s not a physical player
@ put him in the backfield with our booty butt offensive line and he’ll end up in a bad position where he has to make reads, just not worth it this late in the season. Maybe in the offseason
@ yeah I listened but having QJ line up in the backfield won’t do anything except ensure the play isn’t a running play in between the tackles. Really easy for the D to plan against
Ehh he can’t catch the ball but he can run and gain yards maybe RB would work ? Just need to protect him soon as he open field he would be at the other side at no time
Horrible. The good news is hopefully it forces our GM to make a lot of big moves to improve the offense in the off-season. Improve the oline and get weapons at TE, wr and Rb.
@@michaelbell75Agreed and I don't even like the guy. He can catch the ball though. This draft looks painfully weak at wr too. Free agency looks like our best bet. I do like Emeka Egbuka. He could be available when we pick. Pretty good hands and he's probably going to be a combine freak. Very strong and explosive. Honestly the combine results probably pushes him out of our draft range.
No excuses this week. “Four quarters of elite football”. Tampa just put 40 on us with 19 players injured. I don’t want to hear one excuse tomorrow. BTFU 🫡
@@daviddroegemeier8241 For one, we have an actual RB on the roster who we invested a draft pick in, and who's showed a little bit in the limited touches he's had. Wouldn't it make more sense to explore that option first? Also because we're thin enough at WR and it doesn't make much sense to me to run the risk of getting QJ hurt. QJ is 6'4" and runs upright. QJ hasn't even been able to make contested catches or shown that he has any dog in him until two games ago. He's been showing that lately but I just know that if he fumbles the ball or get's dropped for a big loss, that defeated body language will rear it's ugly head again and we'll lose him for the rest of that game and maybe longer.
If they lose its not like the Coaches haven't been watching the same mediocrity ,we've been watching the past 4-6 games and chose to not do anything about it .
Darius needs more touches on O he can bring juice
Why would we put QJ in the backfield instead of Laviska Shenault? Lavi actually played that position a lot with the Jags and Panthers. 50+ carries with a 5 yard average! Probably a better WR too.⚡️☝️
Because then Shenault could play WR instead of QJ. QJ at RB makes sense.

By moving to LA the Chargers can expand their fan base - much like Denver's goes beyond Colorado's borders.
Bolts definitely gotta figure out the short pass/ screen game. Get the ball to Q & Ladd quick and let them work !⚡️
They have no speed on their team. Thats why you dont see short/screen passes.
Screen passes would help out a lot. They just need to focus on blocking. QJ didn’t even block for Ladd on a screen pass and the play got blown up a couple weeks ago

I don't think QJ has the leg drive to play Rb if we are being real.

2 Drops that nobody is talking about. Not the best balls by Herbo. He missed a few on Sunday

Been saying this. Q best utilized getting clean handoffs. Let him do his thing-getting yards.
Chargers over achieved this year. Be happy with 10 win season
I have a weird feeling this is finally the game Josh Palmer shows up
"QJ can't drop it if you hand it off to him" are we sure about that?
RB, "No!!" Use him as more of a gadget player, similar to Deebo Samuel. Use him in reverses or quick screens. Use him on occasional Punt Returns.
Not punt returns makes no sense we have a problem who runs a 4.3
