Herbert has also played a part in the process of getting them up to speed.
The Bolts quarterback talked about how he factors in with these young players as he has a big role now as a veteran.
“I think as you go through and experience different coverages, different routes, you kind of get a feeling about what you think is best,” Herbert said. “I think over the past couple of years, whether it’s different offense, different concepts but just different names, I feel like we got a pretty good feel for what we want and what we need to do to be successful.
“Working through that with the young receivers and telling them, ‘Hey, this is what we see from this offense, this route concept,'” Herbert added. “I think as long as you go through that, you’re going to get better and better.”
Not to mention, Year 2 under this same offense brings a much different level of comfort and understanding for Herbert.
It is just the second time in his career he’s been under the same offense for consecutive years, as he has enjoyed continuing to grow in Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman’s scheme
With reps and experience comes more command, and Herbert continues to get more and more comfortable with another year under his belt — and he has seen it pay dividends so far.
“I think it’s just continuing to learn the offense,” Herbert said. “Doing everything we can to go out there and understanding exactly what Coach Roman wants when he calls a specific play, going out there and attacking it and seeing it the way he wants it to be seen.
Herbert later added: “I feel like we’re steps ahead of where we were last year. Just continue to build and get better.”
