The Chargers have a chance to begin anew after last season ended with an epic collapse in a wild-card loss to the Jaguars that led to coaching changes
There’s also the not-so-small matter of actually winning the game Sunday, defeating a challenging opponent in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins and starting the season with a victory that could put them on track for a fast start to 2023 and open the possibility of a second consecutive playoff appearance.“What we’re focused on is each and every day,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said the other day. “I think that we’re not looking to the future.
Joey Bosa and fellow edge rusher Khalil Mack each spoke about seizing the moment, winning now and leaving nothing to chance as their professional lives grow shorter by the day. Bosa talked two weeks ago about“When you say ‘sense of urgency,’ I’m not sure what you mean exactly,” Mack said when asked about Bosa’s recent comments. “But I can kind of understand what he was saying in terms of his expectations for himself, and the same for me. I want to win, man.
The Chargers’ defense, much maligned after failing to live up to some high expectations in Staley’s first two seasons as head coach, got an injection of experience and leadership when linebackerAfter all, Staley was the defensive architect of the Rams’ Super Bowl championship team and was hired to replace Anthony Lynn in 2021, based in part on his expertise.
It’s anticipated that Kendricks will anchor a much-improved defense in ‘23. Teammates and coaches praised his impact during training camp, citing his experience and leadership on the field and off of it. He could prove to be the glue that binds together a talented but so far unaccomplished defense. “He’s just very authentic,” Staley said of Kendricks, who was named one of the Chargers’ nine team captains. “He’s a very authentic player. I think that he is the type of leader that all of us respect. He has not changed who he is, but he has adapted and fit into this group. … He has been fantastic for us.”
