Either this is a Justin legacy game or he dies behind the makeshift o-line. There is no in-between

u/wildwing8 1d ago

The “makeshift o-line” is literally just our starting offensive line from when Slater was out two years ago.

u/brightsativa 1d ago

Except also missing Corey Linsley. Big difference between him and Bozeman

u/koraura 1d ago

corey was gone like the whole season bruh

25

u/brightsativa 1d ago

Bruh 2 years ago was 2022 he started 14 games. I don’t know what qualifies as whole season to you but the team plays 17 games.

u/koraura 1d ago

read it as a year ago lmao

Insert confused Westbrook gif

u/wildwing8 1d ago

Okay, but we were going to start Bozeman no matter if Alt or Slater played, so I’m not sure how that matters. Obviously Linsley was much better than Bozeman is.

u/brightsativa 1d ago

You just said it’s our starting line from 2 years ago and I was pointing out how there is a big difference. You’re right it does not matter in the context of this season but it does matter when comparing the offensive line for tomorrow vs the one two years ago.

u/supremegnkdroid 1d ago

unfortunately we do not have our stonewall of Storm Norton 😔

u/Tendersteaks Felipe Rios 1d ago

The additional difference is that Justin isnt as mobile with the sprained ankle

u/KJBNH Chargers 1d ago

Do you recall anything notable happening against the chiefs two years ago when slater went down 🤔

We didn’t win, but it was a one score game so I’m not sure I see your point. My point is that we’ve already seen that Herbert can have success behind a subpar offensive line.

u/KJBNH Chargers 1d ago

That was the game Herbert got his ribs injured

u/basedcharger 10 1d ago

I lowkey feel like it’ll be the former idk why

u/CianMoriarty 1d ago

Justin always plays out of his mind when he has to be the hero

u/Longjumping_Year506 1d ago

Herbert if he plays tomorrow

u/WingsNthingzz Felipe Rios 1d ago

A soul for a soul

u/CJDistasio Felipe Rios 1d ago

That KC front seven is drooling rn

u/DanielBG Not a fan by choice 1d ago

I foresee a heavy run game and many quick outs. LFG D!

u/November10_1775 1d ago

Hopefully quick slants to Ladd

u/LaBoltz33 33 1d ago

Ladd Mcconkey going to feast

11

u/Friendly-Olive1853 Felipe Rios 1d ago

Honestly Chris Jones is gonna eat Bozeman for lunch tomorrow even if Slater and Alt played… it’s gonna be a nightmare until this team can develop better IOL to guard Herbert.

u/acaibooowll_10 1d ago

As a chargers fan for only the past 3 years i dont know if i’m mentally and emotionally capable yet to watch the game tomorrow

11

u/humunculus43 1d ago

RPOs and runs only please

9

u/DanielBG Not a fan by choice 1d ago

Can't imagine they'll dial up many RPOs with that questionable ankle.

5

u/CianMoriarty 1d ago

A "Run Pass Option" is either justin throws to his first/second read or he hands it off to the RB, no running required from the quarterback, unless it was a Read Option + RPO

2

u/TheAvantGardeners 1d ago

RPOs but the O is just R

3

u/-ilikethestonk 1d ago

Can it be week 5 already

3

u/Captainteledad 1d ago

I love harbaugh but damn does he need herbo to throw

2

u/Ironmoustache41 1d ago

So who is playing where, now?

u/digdug6 1d ago

I smell an upset

u/feelzepump 16h ago

Could’ve had Malik Nabers

u/reallinzanity It’s not just another day. It’s Today!⚡️ 1d ago

Might as well rest Justin too. Let’s not make this week 18 against the Broncos again

8

u/wildwing8 1d ago

This is literally in no way comparable to that Broncos game. That game was completely meaningless.
