Our WR's

[Hadl2Alworth]

I just saw again last year CLE and PIT games.
J. Guyton was not bad at all !

My god, how could you re-watch those games (especially the Cleveland game)? :frown: We had NO DEFENSE!!!!

I am SOOOOOO HAPPY about this offseason baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said Palmer will get the 3 this year. The thing is that perplexed me was his physique. Not a lot of muscle mass or definition for a wr. Get that kid in the weight room and put him on serious conditioning programs. He needs to be in the best shape of his life.

[blueman]

Jalen Guyton had 9 individual games last season with more yards than T Billy had all year.

That’s a pretty low bar…

[chargeroo]

What do you mean DBs can’t catch? Don’t you remember Jammer and his ever so soft hands? :shock:

I don't recall him having soft hands but, I do remember that he could sure make a tackle. We could use some better tackling like that.

[RobH]

Actually, he had the worst hands I've ever seen on a human. I doubt he could button up a shirt with those hands.

I think Palmer is going to continue to grow in this offense. However we are lacking one thing. I haven't look at any stats. I can say outside of MW's splash plays. Our YAC as a team isn't that good. I would guess below average.

LAC was #6 at team YAC last year.

[blueman]

LAC was #6 at team YAC last year.

Skewed due to poor running game. Also how many passes?

[equivocation]

LAC was #6 at team YAC last year.

A lot from Ekeler at 5th in the league with 625. Williams had 415, Allen 337. On a per target and % of total yards basis those are both average to low. We threw the ball a lot.

[Velo]

YAC is sort of a meaningless stat. What matters is total yardage. If receiving corps on team A has 5,000 yards in receptions in a season, but only average YAC, and a receiving corps on team B leads the league in YAC but only has 4,500 yards in receptions, I'll take the average YAC on Team A that had 500 yards more total receiving yardage.

The thing the Chargers need to do this year is do a better job of attacking defenses all over the field.

If we are running the ball left and right and up the middle, it spreads the D out along the line.

If we can throw long and throw short, they have to defend both, and there are not enough DB to do that.

It just means every player on the offense needs to do their part. Herbert is going to have to continue to develop as a passer and as a reader of defenses, so he can put the ball in the right players hands for the way the D is playing us. We have the weapons, and Herbert is pretty good at distributing the ball to the right guy.

[Maniaque 6]

Palmer and Guyton for # 3 and 4 spot at WR
D. Carter at #5, it's not a troublesome situation.

Chargers were NFL #2 in rec yds.
