I'm still not clear on what being set means. It seems that it is a loose rule that leaves a lot open to the refs discretion.

This was from Popper after the Cowboys game.

Right as the Chargers arrived at the line, Cook started motioning to the inside of Allen, off the shoulder of left tackle Rashawn Slater. As Cook was motioning, Williams adjusted his stance slightly, stepping backward. Williams eventually came fully set, but Cook was still moving slightly when Herbert took the snap. Herbert faked a handoff to Rountree, and Cook ran a rub route off of Allen’s back. He was open in the flat, and Herbert found him for a touchdown.

This was negated by the illegal shift penalty, called on Williams and Cook.

Here is what the rule states: “All offensive players are required to come to a complete stop and be in a set position simultaneously for at least one full second prior to the snap. Failure to do so is an Illegal Shift.”

This never happened because Williams adjusted his stance once Cook began his motion to the inside.

Chargers are 2-0 in 10 a.m. road games. Three more to go.

The Chargers TOOK this game. They went after it, going for it on 4th and 9, instead of punting and giving the ball back to KC in a tie game with about a minute left.

Brandon Staley took a risk that has historically been pretty rare for Charger coaches. And made that risk work.

Sending Vizcaiano out there, knowing that his chances were not very good and that Mahomes is on the other team, is something Norv McLynn would have done.

Then, no one would blame them for the loss. It would have ruined the psyche of your field goal kicker with a miss, but you won't get blamed.

Ya know, Washington, Dallas, the Chiefs. Talk about a challenging first 3 games. 2-1 is pretty damn impressive. Now, bring on some easier teams! Also, we got thru with that record so far. The other teams in our division have yet to face what we faced. 3 pretty damn good teams. Now coming up, it's their turn, collectively.

boy Guyton was really not open on that play.

Herbert made a perfect throw. That may have helped influence the decision.

It doesn’t get easier before the bye.

The Chargers offense still isn’t clicking completely that’s why.

The plays where you had 2 receivers in the same location were examples of it.

Lombardi had a lot of work to do. A QB like Herbert isn’t a dink and dunk QB. Chiefs have a terrible defense. Should’ve been throwing all over them really.

Agreed that Herbert can make more throws, but the quick strike dink and dunk is a lot of Hugh percentage plays and will force the defense to play us tight and open things up over the top. Also, the league is playing against the over the top stuff. So take the easy stuff.

We’ve also had a lot of big plays called back plus the drop by Guyton.
