When the Chargers first got Jim Harbaugh, I was elated (and still am).
You know why?The run game.
Since Herbert has gotten to the league, the Chargers run game has beenputrid.
Consistently ranked near the bottom of the league in YPC.
That is just never going to win football games regardless of meta game trends.
However, yesterdays loss to the Cardinals has opened Roman up to a lot of criticism.
There are a couple of layers to this.
Roman has not really figured out the rushing game with this unit.
Naturally, if the run game isn’t working, they should dial in on the pass.
That just cannot happen in 2024.
All this said, as much as I want to blame Roman and only Roman, I can’t.
On top of that, this WR corps is DECIMATED.
WR1 is not a WR1 and doesn’t stay healthy.
WR2 cannot catch a football.
WR3 is a rookie being asked to do EVERYTHING and rising to the challenge.
The rest of the room is practice squad players.
There just isn’t much that Herbert or Roman can be asked to do here.
Roman isn’t Andy Reid and Herbert isn’t Mahomes.
