Guess we have different definitions of “fixing”
Our defense is elite against shitty teams and trash against everyone else. 2 high safety sucks against the run and the league knows it.
Quote is from Ja’Sir Taylor. If you’re making the same mistakes every week that’s a coaching problem. Even having players say this kind of stuff to the media doesn’t inspire confidence in the locker room right now
Offense:👍, Defence:👎, JK Scott:👎, Cameron Dicker:👍
The important or interesting quotes:
Staley when asked about potentially giving up defensive playcalling:
“I think that every situation is different,” Staley said. “I think if you feel like it gives you the best chance to win — or you think that it could spark your team or something — people do that. But we don’t feel like that’s the direction that we’re going to take.”
Staley on if the Chargers have considered any “significant changes” defensively:
“We have not,” Staley answered. “We believe in how we play, and we believe in the guys that we’re playing with. You’re going to make adjustments throughout the year but nothing significant.”
Player quotes:
“We always preach that if we make a mistake, try not to make it again,” cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor said. “We sit in the film room week after week fixing the same mistakes.”
“It definitely hurts our pride, especially when you’re trying to build off the games we had right before,” Taylor said. “We felt like we were moving in the right direction and then it’s a gut punch.”
“Not playing to our standard frustrates us all,” linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. said. “We all expect to go out there and play elite defense. Everybody in here is frustrated. We all feel a sense of urgency to get things fixed.”
“We have to really detach ourselves from the outcome and be process-focused at this point,” Murray said. “We’ve done that this season and we’ve gotten great results. We gotta get back to that.”
I think what’s sad about this is that it seems he’s successfully gaslit the players. They now believe they’re 100% the problem when 80% of the problem is actually scheme.
