#NFLVideos: What’s your expectations for Chargers new-look offense?

What’s your expectations for Chargers new-look offense?

The players into the building you know April 2nd I just that day just can’t wait for it, because they’re the ones that that bring that building to life , and it’ll give us all a great lift, you know, when that happens. So just, just really gearing up for that. Jim Joe

Mentioned last week that you talked to Justin after the in situation. Just how did that conversation go? Obviously they had quite a quite a history there. I’ve been talking to Justin every you know, every chance I get any reason I can, you know, get the, you know,

Call Jess and just check on it. You know how how things are going on the on the ranch up in Oregon. You know, I love hearing stories about that, talking about, you know, cadence, putting in the, you know, putting in the schemes, offense and defense, I know. And chain

Chain days had had had multiple conversations, Justin’s been in he’s gotten a few workouts in. I think that’s hitting him really good. So, yeah, just that interaction on, you know, I just like hearing how his day is going with Keenan specifically, though. I mean, I’m sure he was disappointed, like you were to

Lose. Can you? Same, same conversation that we’re having right now. You know, it’s like, yeah, this is the business side of the NFL. The NFL has a business side to it. And and guys do what they do, what’s best for them. You know, they do what’s best for your family. You

Do what’s best for you know, your yourself professionally and personally and, and, and everybody understands that. And a heck of a deal for Mike too. I mean, you know, 15 million a year. That’s that’s good. That’s really good. I love her back. I love that that’s good. I’m so

Glad he’s in the league. I’m so glad. Yeah. What do you got on? What do you had to say? I mean, I could listen to another 15 minutes. Just keep going. These these things, these, like this breakfast. It feels like when you go to Disney and you go to the character breakfast, you

Know, and you’re there with your family and they’re like, oh, here comes goofy. Hey. And take the pictures. And here’s Pluto. Like it’s it has a feeling of they’re all working the tables and I just can’t help myself looking at the journalists in the background with their giant

Plates of food, trying to ask about the chargers special teams. Like, it’s so entertaining. And I said it from the minute that I hired him, it was the biggest win for the Chargers in years. And listen, we’re talking off the air Chris. Like as a wide receiver it’s

Kind of nuts what’s going on with the Chargers roster and the Chargers offense. What do you think of it yeah I mean you look at the roster right now and I think they have three guys on the roster. Two of them are rookies last year and Joshua Palmer only going into his

Fourth year. So it’s you know I mean you got to imagine they’re going to try to add some weapons for Justin Herbert I mean I Harbaugh is you know I was with him in back in 2011 when he came into the league with the 40 niners. And he did some great

Things for cap and that team. And I got to imagine that he’s going to do some good things with Justin and that offense. So but I mean you got to you got to add some more pieces to this puzzle to try to make that work.

So it’s a lot could be a lot of new faces. But you know, I got to imagine he’s going to do a good job out there. Take us through this all with Harbaugh when he first came in, like, what is that first team meeting like? He just mentioned April

2nd, getting the guys in the building, different personality. What was that like from a player’s perspective? I mean, it was it was a lot for me, right? That was my first year. So yeah, but a lot a lot of those guys respond. I mean, that that 40 Niners team was filled with with

Veteran guys, I mean, he’s got some high expectations. He runs it like a very tight ship, you know, straight from college. Kind of takes that whole mentality over to the pros. And I think it’s either either works or it doesn’t work. And when he brought it to the 40 niners it

Worked. Right guys bought into it. They were into it, you know, he’s going to coach. I mean, he’s going to coach him up, you know, and he’s and he’s going to do some good things with Justin, so I think Justin’s going to really benefit from having him, you know, coaching him, you

Know, on the football side of things, not not that he hasn’t done well in his career, but, I mean, I think that having him there, I think it might take him to another level now as a wide receiver because you just said you look at this room and they

Got rid of Mike Williams, they got rid of Keenan Allen. When Brady was in New England, a lot of people would always say, all right, they don’t keep and they don’t pay the big time receivers, but they get guys that can get open. Was it ever for you in that wide receiver

Room? Like, hey, we took pride in the fact that we didn’t have the biggest names or the biggest contracts, but we go out there with a really good quarterback and get it done. Do you think that mindset could possibly translate to these guys in that room? 100? I mean, every single

Year you have that meeting, it’s like, what’s this receiver room going to be? Are we didn’t have the big name guys. You know, we had Rob in the other room. We had Brady, we had the you know, we had the names. We had James White, you know, but but our

Room was just built off of listen we’re going to go out every single play. It’s going to be 100. We’re going to you know, we’re going to block. We’re going to be annoying. We’re going to be in-your-face, and we’re just going to make plays when it comes to us. Get open,

Catch the football, there aren’t any of these big names on this roster right now. They could, you know, add someone in the draft. But I think that mentality, I mean, I think Harbaugh is going to love that mentality, right? I mean, he’s he’s he’s all about that. So I

Think that’s going to be something that he’s going to try to bring to that room, and if he can create a group of guys in that room that just want to play together and win football games and compete, then Justin Herbert’s going to have a good group of guys. Yeah, all too.

It’s going to be fun to watch. You brought up not a lot of big names, and I was just curious your thoughts on is Gus Edwards underrated? I mean, he had 13 rushing touchdowns a year ago, and it’s so much like Herbert Herbert Herbert every year. Right? I mean, obviously he’s

The quarterback, right. But there’s so much pressure on him in terms of Harbaugh taking some pressure off this guy because every year it feels like we’re like, this is this is Herbert’s year, right? This is it. This is yeah. And then and then it’s sort of the same letdown. Now

This is a different scenario, right? When you’re bringing in Jim Harbaugh, you’re bringing him after he won a national championship. But I’m just wondering if I don’t feel like Edwards gets talked about a lot or enough. No, he’s a really good player. And what’s interesting is that Jason knows

This. My take from the second Harbaugh took the job is that Blake Corum is going to be on the charger and just have a feeling this is the Michigan running back who’s prolific, super strong, sort of similar running style to Gus Edwards. But I don’t care if you look

What Jim Harbaugh did all the way back at Stanford, if you look what he just did at Michigan, if you look what he was doing with Gore in San Francisco, like he loves to run it. And we love Herbert there. But I think there will be a couple running backs. I think he

Will find a way to have Blake Corum on the team, I think what he’s done with the team is like it’s reflective of Harbaugh. All the moves, like you show up and like a pillar of the Chargers. Keenan Allen just gone. Just gone. All the tight end. The other receiver just gone. It’s

Different. It’s a little scary. And it’ll probably work which is how I would describe Jim Harbaugh. It’s different is a little scary. It’ll probably work I think the schedule is going to come out, you know, sometime in the offseason moving forward. The first thing I’m circling every single game, I’m

Not interested in any kind of Super Bowl rematch or anything. First Chargers Chiefs game. I’m just into like unbelievable. Let’s light the light the candle. Ring the bell. Harbaugh versus Reid Herbert versus Mahomes. Like this is the one. And I feel like if Harbaugh wins that game, that’s going to be

The table flipping moment about like the AFC West is not the same anymore. Or if the Chiefs roll him up, I don’t know. But that there’s not a regular season matchup I’m more excited about than the first Chargers Chiefs and I think Blake Corum from Michigan will be wearing a

Chargers uniform when they play that game. I like that and I’m fascinated by Harbaugh and Justin Herbert’s relationship. And he said it. I just like talking to Justin and ask him how his day’s going and building. That is so cool. It’s so Jim Harbaugh, but what we’ve seen from Justin Herbert so far

With him throwing the ball all around the field, we know when Harbaugh comes in there, it’s not possibly going to be that Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator. But I look at it, I remember when Dave Canales got hired for with the Panthers and he came on our show and we

Talked to him. He talked about Bryce Young. I know completely different player than Justin Herbert, but just his thought on the quarterback position. And he said I want a quarterback that’s going to play consistent playing and play out and have 3 to 5 game plays a game where he is

Just absolutely special. And if I’m Jim Harbaugh, he’s probably going to ask the same thing of Justin Herbert. We maybe don’t need you to make these crazy throws all over the field and I see the memes that are all over social media of Herbert standing in a room like Will Smith was on

Fresh Prince, and the room is completely empty. As Ekeler’s gone, al is gone, Mike Williams is gone. But I think he’s looking at it like, I don’t need those guys to run my office. When he was with the 40 niners, they had one maybe go to receiver and a guy like Crabtree

And the rest of it was guys that fill in the blanks and you throw the ball to him and run the ball behind Frank Gore and that offense. He mentioned Shane Day, the quarterbacks coach who was with Herbert back in 21 when he threw for the 5000 yards and

Went to the Pro Bowl and all of that. He was with the Houston Texans last year. With C.J. Stroud having a great rookie year, he’s back with the Chargers, and Herbert said that’s one of his all time favorite coaches. So I think when you talk about the transition and Greg Roman coming

In and people are scared because it’s like, well, he had Lamar Jackson, Colin Kaepernick, Justin Herbert is not that guy. To your point, Harbaugh is going to figure this thing out, figure this offense when it comes to the draft and all of that. But I’m still fascinated to see what

This offense looks like because Herbert has broken record after record. That’s not really the way horrible does it. And we saw the receivers leave. I can’t wait to see
