Derrick Ansley called plays for the last 3 games of the #Chargers season, after Staley got fired. It's a small sample size, but still:
LAC pass D weeks 1-15
Dropback EPA: 27th
Dropback success rate: 27thLAC pass D weeks 16-18
Dropback EPA: 18th
Dropback success rate: 4th— Wendell Ferreira (@wendellfp) February 7, 2024

I’m stupid and can’t tell what “success rate” means in this context? Success rate for the offense? And he was worse? Or Defense and he was better? I’m assuming the latter but 🤷♂️
Probably worth mentioning that the Chargers faced a shitty backup in Week 17 (Jarrett Stidham), and then the Chiefs’ B squad in Week 18, though Week 16 was Josh Allen.
He was Dbacks coach for 2 seasons before 2023 for the chargers and the pass defense was at or near top 10 Both seasons I believe
Yeah not great but Staley calling the defense so I’ll give him a chance.
