The second-year head coach, having focused on Justin Herbert and the offense last season, will see his defense tested by Las Vegas’ new-look offense Sunday
When Brandon Staley was hired for his first NFL head-coaching position in 2021, he came in with a clear plan for the Chargers: The first offseason was about building the offense around second-year quarterback Justin Herbert. They did that.The first look at his defense will be Sunday when the Las Vegas Raiders come to SoFi Stadium with their high-powered offense featured by quarterback Derek Carr and receiver Davante Adams.
There is much unknown with the Raiders’ offense because of the addition of not only Adams from Green Bay but a new coach in Josh McDaniels, who was a big part of the longtime offensive success of the New England Patriots. The 2021 Chargers defense was held together by the talent of James and edge rusher Joey Bosa. They were the worst in the NFL in two crucial categories.
“To go up against those guys week in and week out, it made us better going into the year,” Herbert said about facing the new-look defense. “That’s my brother,” Mack said of Carr. “I like to talk trash here and there. I feel like that’s a bond that can’t be broken when it comes to that, but come Sunday it’s on and poppin’ … He’s an ultimate competitor. One of the best in the game. Somebody that I highly respect when it comes to the leadership aspect, as well as the quarterback position.”
Former Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy was added to be a hybrid. He could play middle linebacker and edge rusher on Sundays because a big part of his game is his versatility. He is a former Super Bowl champion and a respected veteran.
