  3. Harbaugh or Herbert, which pick up looking back will we say was the most beneficial? Just curious on your guys’ opinion! Love the pod keep it up, bolt up ⚡️

  5. Money, Lo you both know that its all a process also it’s year one we already have half the wins from last year the important thing is that we have changed the culture now you will soon start to see the offense start clicking this offense is complicated but once they start executing it correctly watch out Bleave in our Bolts and Bleave in the process

  8. Love your show! Like you guys said, if one of our tackles is active, the line should be ok. @Leeshere6 hit the nail on the head. I understand that Herbo is still injured, but he needs to be unleashed. Lastly, I don't understand why Pipkins is a starter. I get that the Bolts owe him $9M guaranteed this year, but the guy is terrible. Plays too high and he's slow. Met him at Sky Harbor airport in Phx a few years ago. Seemed like a nice enough guy. We chatted for a second, then I shook his hand and walked away. As I was walking away I realized he had a really soft hand. It made sense in a way. Go Bolts!

  11. It will take a couple of years before Harbaugh can filter out all the Telesco made of glass picks and build his team the way he wants it. Took him years to get Michigan up to snuff.

  16. Trestman gotta help blend in some better checkdown options. Herbert is on one ankle and so far his only late checkdown options have been dissly on a block and release. Until J herbs ankle is better, get the ball out quicker. Stop asking him to hold it and wait for it to open up 🤷

  22. This podcast along with Chargers Weekly is the best place to get all the Chargers news and analysis! Matt “Money” Smith is a must go to for all things Chargers. Bolt Up!

  24. Money & Lo,

    Aside from FA, what can this staff do to get this Offense on track? The inconsistency is tough to watch and I know its still early in this marathon but somethings got to give, if we want to still be playing after game 17.

    Love the show gents!

    Bolt TF Up!

  25. The Chargers will lose to Denver ..the Broncos defense is excellent and their offense has now found their ‘sea legs’ ..further ..it’s hard to believe that the Bolts are so banged up after only 4 games in ..Bosa I get it ..he needs to go ..any team that signs him will be lucky to get 8 games a season ..but Slater and Alt ?? ..my gawd ..and Herbert is now developed into a brittle QB ..the Chargers are the best team on the internet ..getting tired of this ..

  27. Let me start by saying no bigger fan than Herbert…but I think about that 4th and goal against KC. I expect him to find a way to get that ball in the end zone. Not sling it through the back of the end zone. Thats where Reid and Mahomes have an edge in us. Thats a TD for them. We are not there yet. (I know we were without our tackles but KC was without a shitload if key players. Best receiver out, starting RB out and Kelce an out of shape TE that managed to hurt us again by sitting in the middle of the zone. Maybe it’s different with Derwin in but faaaaack, I’m getting tiered of making excuses for this team. .

  29. I think they need to pass more on 1st downs and not those WR screens. Instead, use some slants or cross overs. Then, hit the TE over the middle. Yet, keep pounding them.

  30. I have a several part question:
    If Bosa can play in week 5/6, what would his trade value be? Do you think having Tuli can help allow the Chargers to trade Bosa? Tuli has really been damn near as good as Bosa, and he’s alway available. Also, what would benefit more from a Bosa trade? a player(s), or draft capital?

  31. GOOD MORNING MATT AND LORENZO,,IT'S ME TIMOTHY FROM VISTA CA, I THINK THE CHARGERS OFFENSIVE LINE NEEDS TO ATTACK THE DEFENSIVE LINE DEFENSIVE LINE MEN AND PUSH THEM BACK WORDS TO OPEN UP A BIG HOLE FOR THE RUNNING BACKS TO RUN THROUGH AND GIVE THE CHARGERS QB MORE TIME TO FIND THE OPEN RECEIVER FOR A BIG FIRST DOWN OR A TD, DO YOU GUYS THINK SO ALSO 👍, GO CHARGERS GO!!!!

  36. In my non-professional opinion, the Chargers need to put together a playbook that's more focused on establishing a good passing game first and then do the work in the trenches. Justin has learned many playbooks over the last few years and we need to use this to his advantage. I'm hoping JIm is heavily emphasizing the run game right now just to teach his team how the plays should be ran, and then shift over to a more passing centered offense
