😂😂😂

That’s called being carried by Aaron Donald to a HC jobs. Even his defense was consistently bad, which was supposed to be his expertise. Let alone the meme worthy game management and decision making. Even as a Chiefs fan who wanted the division to suck, what Staley did to this team is criminal offense. He wasted a stack team, he wasted Justin Herbert’s rookie window. He hired checkdown Joe Lombardi. He choked in the most embarrassing fashion maybe in Chargers history with that sole playoff game. Before that, he choked against a Raiders team with an interim OC and intended to play for the tie with the playoffs in line.

💀

Even that disguise was flimsy, we knew he was a fraud out the gate with his silly 4th down decisions

yupp hahha

When madden auto assigns the coverage 😂

lol yeah Herbie gets all that credit imo

Been my team for 20 years now ever since I started watching ball. That ownership literally gives no fucks about winning a Super Bowl.

Accidents do happen. Says a lot about the rest of the team. Many teams would have quit. Kudos to the players and support staff that did not.

It’s because Justin Herbert actually is a really good quarterback, the chargers are just chargering as per usual

@@RichardTheWizardthey just hired Harbaugh… I think they give a little bit of a fuck

I definitely tried to simplify for clarity's sake- but I totally agree that random kids would come up with better offenses than what was going on in Chargersland this year lol. A ton of these sequences of play calls are like he was using the madden 'recent plays' feature over and over lol

To be fair, a Madden AI defense could cover 5 stick routes without an issue.

Staley was not drawing up offense

@@dexterlick1375 true, but he is overall responsible for getting his OC to change things up. Staley should be aware of playcalls and adjust at a high level

yes! honestly, it would've been better if Herbert did the same! it'll be interesting to see if Caleb Williams is willing to sit out of the bears haha

Nah Caleb def won’t he would walk into a fantastic situation he’d be dumb to turn it down

What? This is 20 years later with brand new coaching, team, and management 😂

​@@tombaker5477but it's the same owners doing the same shit

@@theredscum4202😭💯

I had a good opinion of Kellen Moore (without deep diving into his offenses), until watching him as the Chargers OC... his plays are vanilla af, and his playcalling is just as predictable

I live in Boise so by default we root for him but before this year I knew it was crucial for him that the chargers to do well and the cowboys drop off a bit but the opposite happened and Moore is trending in the wrong direction. He's still seemingly respected in NFL circles but I think when he has good talent it works but I want to see him escalate the talent at his disposal rather than rely on it. Should do well with what he has in Philly though

I think Kellen can still get better as he gets more experience since he hasn't been an OC for long, but he still doesn't seem to be great at it. The all curls and the lack of movement pre-snap were so infuriating as a Cowboys fan. He does have some great creativity at times, but it just seems like he doesn't trust that or that he doesn't have too deep of a bag in the creative department

I'm glad I returned to this video & caught this. Another analysis channel "tried to isolate" the reason for Dak's high INTs in '22. While trying not to bruise the egos of the people responsible I guess because they refused to _mention_ Moore's play-calling. But all one could see is receivers fanning out in patterns so predictable that defenders looked like they were *skating a choreographed routine along with them.* No difference in depth of receivers allowing the defense to concentrate on one area of the field. This forced Dak to throw as hard as he could to hope no one stepped in front of his passes, but it also caused receivers to bobble many of them. Surrounded as they were, any bobble would be torn away. So yeah, this was obviously Moore. There is So Much to unpack here. I've worked middle management & realized long ago how irrational business owners can be. It's like the kid who can only express his freedom via "freedom to destroy." They often don't feel like they're doing things right unless they feel they have _THAT freedom_ at all times. So they too often don't care. That's just one shade of ownership. In Chicago you have the other extreme where they are 100% hands off. They don't know the game & allowed all their GMs & coaches to do as they wilt. While for decades this meant gross incompetence by people who felt like nothing they did mattered, Poles & Eberflus are different animals. *They* are taking steps to make it "Their Team." Or at least what they feel like makes it theirs. We see similar things to the Chargers, but with more intent. They didn't "accidentally" cancel the plays that made them the #1 offense 3 weeks straight any more than they "accidentally" ignore their own o-linesmen constantly allowing pass rushers straight through to Fields so regularly, Fields never knows when it isn't coming. They want _"Their_ Pick" at QB. & if that meant sabotaging someone else's career, so what of it? I only wish more teams were able to see through all this. I can't believe that neither KOC nor Brian Daboll want Fields to elevate their teams for a lot less $ than trading to get a QB in the draft would cost them, then they could draft receivers for him. It's insanity.

​@@choosecarefully408Fields isn't even going to be starting in Pittsburgh.

yup!!!

Appreciate it! That was always our goal!

You wish it was@@samherb1

@@tragedyproductions4165 You're ex-coach crawled around on the ground like he wanted to get pegged by another dude....tell me more about "gay credibility". LOL

I also think he's an ass coordinator with no track record of proving otherwise but I agree with everything you said

better coordinator? which unit? offense? ....an offensive coordinator who calls 3 stick routes at the same depth at the same time? if he tried that in philly even once his house would be surrounded by an angry mob with torches and pitchforks before he made it home after the game.

yeah I'm genuinely shocked the raiders hired him, he seems like a doofus. Guess we'll see, but my estimation is the raiders will continue to suck lol

Raiders fans hate us but hype up all the signings of former chargers😂 like tillery, Perryman and Telesco

As a raiders fan Telesco didn’t seem like the issue. The Chargers have consistently had a solid roster since Herbert got there. The chargers issues seemed to always be coaching and injuries.

@@RileyLinn no it was definitely telesco, he always went for star players over depth and that never works, you have to have depth and he never even tried to get any, not to mention his contracts and money handling were horrible, the chargers current cap issues are all because of telesco just backloading contracts which put Hortiz and harbaugh in a terrible spot. Telesco can’t draft to save his life either, all of his “hits” in the draft weren’t because of him, those players just so happened to fall into his lap, like Herbert, Derwin James, Bosa, Slater, all were projected to go earlier but just so happened to land with him. He can’t draft depth at all past round 3 besides maybe 1 or 2 guys over the last few years

@@RileyLinn And yea the chargers had good rosters that were horribly constructed so that if a single star went down on either side or the ball, that whole side of the balls performance drastically went down due to having no depth

It's good to see the Chargers feel the same way I do!

Has harbaugh been addressing this? Just curious

@@Aburner960 There's no way Harbaugh would call games like this

​@@keenobaerry3195it's pretty unlikely Harbaugh will call plays at all. He hasn't in a number of years at Michigan.

He had that broken rib injury too at least

that's great to hear, thanks!

It feels way too simple and obvious doesn't it? but it's all over their film, game after game

yes!! it's absurd. I'd be overjoyed as an NFL QB to see this on film lmao

thanks so much!

yes!! watching these Chargers games gave me brainrot from Staley's addiction to using madden 'recent plays' as his playcall sheet lol

yuppp I can't come up with any reason why the 9ers hired dude

Bill belichick as an assistant defensive coach is fucking hilarious to think about. The really funny part is you thinking vrabel or bill would even consider that position

​@@DraftingUnicornsNepotism, the 9ers way .....,

Good idea, thanks for the idea and for the sub!

Appreciate it!

thank you!

Herbert has a much more serious chance to get some serious playoff experience now, and I hope he quickly disproves this!

😢

He's BEEN saying this for 4 years ! And SOON to waste his 5th year in 2024 ! At this rate , he'll walk away in about 2 to 3 more years of this SH#T ? 8 to 9 years will be pushing it , with him !

💀

yup. that's awful coaching!

thanks homie!

same here!

lmao that's hilarious. Of course there's a small sample size bias but still!

It's crazy to me how many people don't see that! respect for seeing through a fan bias to have a smart take

fair enough, it seems like they abandoned the stunts when Bosa was out and I'm going off a later season bias

lmao that's a great analogy

I think help is on the way in a major way! Keep a look out for our upcoming video outlining what the future for LA may look like!

@DraftingUnicorns that's good to hear. With Harbaugh we may just actually put our talent to great use

I'd expect only great things!!

it's a disaster and I'm going to be a grumpy gills if Justin Herbert has to retire early

he had so many embarrassing awful clock management whiffs! he should've been fired after year 1 for all those to me

definitely, Ekeler is legit for what he is- but as for a run game in total, he adds a lot less than it feels like. They need a complementary big heavy runner to him

His time management and game management issues were showing in year 1, but weren't as worrisome, now it's just a disaster and we know he'll go for any 4th down in any random situation

appreciate your sub!

those were my thoughts exactly lmaoo

Chargers mock coming soon just for you 👀👀👀

@@DraftingUnicorns 👀👀⚡️⚡️🫡🫡

glad to have earned your sub!

thanks! Harbaugh seems like a MUCH more run oriented coach, hopefully they can emphasize that well

1000% agreed

And the Niners just hired him. 😂

I cannot comprehend how this man keeps failing upwards

Did Dean Spanos become owner before that?

100% agree and it's heartbreaking

I dont think he'll walk away because hes getting payed the big bucks to be on his childhood favorite team

Heh. Still not The QB Most sabotaged by his own coaches named Justin. Not even for the past three years. Part of me who has worked middle management has no trouble believing in this level of ineptitude. Another wonders when watching this if some coaches aren't in some illegal gambling ring where they bet on their own QBs getting sacked & injured & how many times.

yessir! I couldn't believe how obvious their plays were to read. I rewatched it all a couple times though to make sure and they just barely ever break tendency!

agreed!

Even watching those early games from this season, I was struggling to find many examples! It's crazy that Staley would lose his best pass rusher and then NOT try to scheme up pressure though lol

They ran a bunch with Tuli and Mack. I'd assume once they lost Bosa to injury they stopped since they'd throw them on opposite sides of the ball instead

thank you sir!

justin herbert

hahaha that's super cool to hear

Never ever will I trust Dean Spanos. But I do trust Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz. We’ll have a second Chargers vid dropping soon that hopefully provides a little hope.

@@DraftingUnicorns I’m hoping they can establish a good run game. And actually play good D. I feel like he’s going younger in a lot of areas. Hurt to see Keenan go though ngl.

lmao love this comment. Every detail of why Staley fails must be very clear to someone who watches every Chiefs game

@DraftingUnicorns the guy was a buffoon,he would go for it on every 4th Down whether he was up or down it was so stupid, a lot of those games were close and he was the reason for those losses almost exclusively

this guy knows ball ^

I have a feeling you guys are going to draft Marvin Harrison Jr, I think the whole divisions getting better but I did think that 3 years ago also LOL I think Pat's only lost four times in the division in 6 years smh

No thanks in part of him either though, that was obviously Shane Steichen's hand

100% agree in every way

free Justin!

he's still conning the NFL if you ask me!

I'd worry about the management that allowed themselves to be fleeced and is still there...egads. Let's hope Harbaugh is the right move.

It's like I likely said elsewhere on this page, NFL team owners are _business_ owners. They don't have a _clue what makes_ a coach good & when humans can't understand something, they not only don't _trust_ it: they try to view it in a comfortable, familiar way. Players = employees, coaches = supervisors. "You know who makes the best supervisors for business purposes? Not those friendly jovial ones like Rich Bisacchia that the employees like. The tyrants like Staley, Josh McD & Sean McDermott that they FEAR!" That's how they think, & they think this on a subconscious level where their fears of employees lives. When in reaction mode people can't think & these are Unthinking Decisions. Which of course the reaction then becomes to Never Doubt. The owner only knows that they now feel comfortable. Any thought of doubt takes them out of that state so they simply Refuse To Entertain Such Thoughts. If any of this rubs anyone the wrong way, then let's show it. We'll go to Any University Campus Anywhere U.S.A. tomorrow, ask any student studying federal law what laws are being broken by politicians accepting lobbying $, draw up the papers & bring charges to every member of congress who has ever voluntarily taken any. You can't even seriously consider it, right? Because Reaction Mode overtakes people & they See _politicians_ as 'Government Itself' & can't bring themselves to arrest _'Government'_ so they can't arrest politicians because people can't separate out those things.

yup, same here. It sucks to see great players' careers get tanked

Gus 'bus' Edwards? 🤔🤔

haha thanks man

that's what I'm hoping people will see!

in fairness I was already working on it, but that game motivated me to get finished up pretty quick lol

yes!

I like your take, I believe they abandoned stunts to a degree after they lost Bosa and I did overstate how little they run those to a degree.

@@DraftingUnicorns Indeed...honestly I'm just glad the "Staley" defense is gone from Chargers...It is TOO reliant on "things going right" for it to succeed consistently.

San Diego 4 lyfe

@@DraftingUnicorns I wasn't sure if you were San Diego or LA, but I'm Kansas City. Much love and respect for San Diego regardless. The Harbaugh signing would have me a little concerned, if the hip drop ban hadn't convinced me to boycott the NFL. Now it's BattleHawks or nothing. 🤣

yeahhh I'm really underwhelmed by Moore as an OC. I don't see why the NFL holds him in high reputation

yessir- I'll give them a year of slack to adjust and figure things out, but by year 2, there NEEDS to be playoff wins here

He's already a top 5 qb with better coaching and wr's he can be the best

he a dawg

I hope he enjoys retirement. Dude was a beast. ​@@DraftingUnicorns
