The Los Angeles Chargers will want to reinforce quarterback Justin Herbert with a terrific run video game next season, offending planner Greg Roman stated.
Per ESPN’s Kris Rhim, Roman is trying to find more consistency from the run video game in 2024, and he thinks it will result in much better production from Herbert.
“Can you picture Justin Herbert with a fantastic running video game?” Roman stated. “… We do not understand, however I can picture what it may appear like. That’s kind of the vision.”
The Chargers run video game had a hard time in 2015 as the group went 5-12. Los Angeles completed 24th in lawns per hurrying lawns and 26th in lawns per bring. If the Chargers can enhance those numbers next season, Roman thinks it will be a dish for success.
The Chargers have a strong choice in the backfield in Austin Ekeler, however the seventh-year running back had the least lawns per bring of his profession last season at 3.5. Getting his production up in 2024 will be a concern for Los Angeles.
“I believe in this league, you can truly, truly assist determine the defenses if you have a strong running attack,” Roman stated. “If you actually talk with most protective planners in this league and got ’em off to the side when they’re playing a truly great running group, they’re sweating a bit. They’re sleeping a little less that week.”
The revamped run video game most likely will not include developed runs for Herbert, Roman stated.
“We’ll offer it to anyone that can get lawns,” Roman stated. “And then will Justin run the ball? … It’ll most likely be more as a scrambler. Will we have a few of that other things in our back pocket? Remains to be seen.”
Roman, who will remain in his very first season as the Chargers’ offending planner next season, assisted lead the Baltimore Ravens to the second-most hurrying backyards in the league when he was the offending organizer in 2022. He will be aiming to duplicate that success with his brand-new group.
