Should the Chargers Hire Doug Pederson?

The Los Angeles Chargers Have Aced Free Agency So Far But There's Still Work To Be Done: Free Agency has been great for the Los Angeles Chargers clearing cap space and filling major starting roles with Eric Kendricks and Trey Pipkins. Tom Telesco has done a good job not overpaying so far, but will have to find more great deals to fill in the cracks on the Chargers roster. With most starting jobs accounted for the key depth pieces are what needs to be addressed next. The Chargers have stars like Keenan Allen and Joey Bosa at EDGE rusher and receiver, but finding depth at those positions is crucial given their injuries in 2022. The tight end position is less of a need now with Los Angeles re-signing Donald Parham. Even after securing Parham, the TE room still has questions, and could be a position the Chargers target early in the NFL Draft. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Chargers Gear Up For Free Agency By Clearing Cap Space While Retaining Stars Like Keenan Allen: The Los Angeles Chargers found a way to get under the NFL salary cap while finding a way to keep their stars like Keenan Allen and Joey Bosa. GM Tom Telesco is throwing caution to the wind heading into free agency with risky decisions in an attempt to keep the nucleus of the team together in 2023. This extra space allows the Chargers a chance to keep important internal free agents like Drue Tranquill and Trey Pipkins. The early wave of free agency moves have made Tranquill less likely, but the guys hope Los Angeles can sign Pipkins before the market takes off. Morgan Fox remains one of the Chargers most underrated free agents while also being one of the hardest players to replace. Fox could be expensive, but there are several possible way the Chargers could open up some more cap space if they need to. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Chargers Hire Brandon Staley: On today's show we discuss the Chargers hiring new Head Coach Brandon Staley and talk about our initial surprise, what this means for Justin Herbert and some high praise for the new coach. The Chargers have found their new coach in Brandon Staley and we discuss whether or not we like the hiring and what he will bring to the table as a one of the bright young minds in the NFL. The biggest surprise with the hiring is that Staley is from a defensive background and we get into how he will approach coaching Justin Herbert and how the Chargers defensive scheme will change. Staley came to the Chargers with some really glowing praise from former players and we get into what quotes about the new guy gets us the most excited.

The Los Angeles Chargers Re-Sign Morgan Fox And Keep A Crucial Part Of Their Pass Rush: Morgan Fox was excellent for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022 and even after his most successful season, the team was able to bring him back in free agency. This was an incredibly important signing for the Chargers as Fox has been quietly one of the better interior rushers in the NFL and would have been very hard to replace. Now that Fox is back, hopefully we get to see him pass rush alongside Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack which we didn't see much last year. General Manager Tom Telesco deserves a lot credit for finding a way to now bring back the team's biggest internal free agents with Fox and Trey Pipkins. Another free agent that could be the next domino for the Chargers is safety John Johnson III. With Nasir Adderley likely out of the picture now, Derwin James needs a new running mate and Johnson could look for a reunion with Brandon Staley. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Why A Potential Trade For Justin Fields Doesn't Make Sense For The Carolina Panthers: New Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich continues to build a strong staff in Carolina, adding former Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell to the staff as a senior assistant. The Panthers have now added three candidates for their head coaching job Reich, Caldwell, and defensive coordinator Jim Caldwell to what's quickly becoming one of the best staffs in the NFL. With the addition of Caldwell, is Jim Bob Cooter, Caldwell's OC in Detroit for three seasons, now the favorite for that position? The Philadelphia Eagles lost both coordinators Jonathan Gannon and Shane Steichen to head coaching jobs in Arizona and Indianapolis, respectively. It's been long rumored that Reich has an interest in Eagles QB coach Brian Johnson and Eagles passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo.

Where Does the Chargers Roster Rank in the NFL?: On today's show we get fired up about Pro Football Focus ranking the Chargers as the 20th best roster in the NFL and get into voicemails about adding free agents now like David DeCastro and what free agents will be available in 2022. ESPN released an article ranking every roster in the NFL using PFF metrics and the Chargers somehow ended up at 20th on the list. We break down why the ranking is preposterous, and although there are some roster questions, the overall talent outweighs it. To kickoff our fan voicemails we take a look at why the Chargers still have so much salary cap space at this point in the offseason and if All-Pro guard David DeCastro or any other free agents could still be added. To wrap up the show we are looking towards the future and the 2022 offseason. First we discuss if Mike Williams or Uchenna Nwosu is more important to bring back and if the Chargers could pursue someone like Davante Adams.

How the Chargers Can Become Contenders: Today we discuss ten things that would have to happen for the Chargers to become contenders from Daniel Popper, why it was good the Chargers didn't sign Tyrell Williams and if recently released guard Gabe Jackson could help the Chargers. Daniel Popper from the Athletic has come out with a blueprint for the Chargers to become contenders and we get into why communication and play calling will have to be much better in 2021 for the team. Some of the other things that have to go right for the Chargers in 2021 are staying healthy, fixing the offensive line and signing several key internal free agents. We break down how plausible it is for the Chargers to attain these goals and add one very important goal of our own. We also get why it was a good thing that the team didn't pursue their former wide receiver Tyrell Williams because of the production they have gotten from young players and why signing Gabe Jackson is something the Chargers absolutely need by Locked On Chargers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Chargers

The guys get into some early bold predictions and whether a Mike Williams for DeAndre Hopkins swap would make sense for the Chargers. Everyone is hoping for the best with Kellen Moore, but is there any way he does so well that he overtakes Brandon Staley? If Moore and Justin Herbert hit it off, he may be more likely to be another team's head coach than the Chargers.

The Chargers Re-Sign Trey Pipkins Securing Their Top Free Agent And Continuity On The Offensive Line: The Los Angeles Chargers found a way to retain Trey Pipkins, one of their most important starters heading into free agency. Right tackle has been a sore spot for a while and if Pipkins keeps playing well, this could be an absolute steal. Part of the fallout of the latest move is the Chargers releasing starting guard Matt Feiler to save cap. He was dependable for the Los Angeles, but the emergence of Jamaree Salyer gave them the flexibility to move on. With Salyer and Pipkins back in the starting lineup, the Chargers now have their young offensive line under contract through 2025. Kicker Cameron Dicker is coming off one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history and will be back with the Bolts in 2023. With Dustin Hopkins still under contract, it looks the two will have to battle things out for the starting role. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Chargers New OC Candidates Joe Brady And Thomas Brown Bring Different Philosophies To Search: The Chargers are bringing two new candidates into their offensive coordinator search including Joe Brady who was most recently with the Bills explosive offense centered around Josh Allen. Brady could bring out more exciting version of Justin Herbert, while Rams coach and former running back Thomas Brown could help turn around the Chargers struggling run game. Brady was one of the hottest head coaching candidates a couple years ago, and has worked with great quarterbacks like Allen, Joe Burrow and Drew Brees. He also has experience as offensive coordinator, but things were a dumpster fire in Carolina with bad quarterbacks and red flags about play-calling and adjustments. Brown brings a different perspective with a more run heavy philosophy and has been a rising star in Sean McVay coaching tree.

Free Agent Fits for the Chargers: On today's show we take a look at the Chargers biggest needs in free agency, what players could fill those needs and which players need to be re-signed. The Athletic's Daniel Popper has come out with a list of the Chargers biggest free agency need and we break down which free agents from around the league could fit what the team is looking for at the right cost. The offensive line will be a major priority in free agency given general manager Tom Telesco's track record, and the Chargers need players at all three spots up front. The good news is that there are plenty of good lineman available, if the team is willing to pay the price. A couple of positions for the Chargers are very much up in flux depending on what internal free agents can be re-signed.

Getting Justin Herbert an explosive receiver and finding a tight end that fits Kellen Moore's offense should be a priority early. If the Chargers want to find an insurance policy for Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, a premium pick will have to be used. Tom Telesco can't add to every position, but needs to have contingencies in place in case they land a cornerback and safety from the 2023 class.
