Greg Roman<\/a> said. “Last year this time, it was his third system in three years so that was a challenge which he conquered.<\/p>\n“This year, with him and some of the guys kind of progress things, changed how we installed the offense this year, prioritized different things,” Roman added. “We understand who we are now way differently than we did last year. What we do will be a little different, how we do it, practice it, that kind of thing.”<\/p>\n
Not to mention, Herbert also has a couple more offensive weapons heading into 2025 that could contribute to the offense taking even another leap.<\/p>\n
Of course there’s Ladd McConkey, who enters Year 2 after being Herbert’s top target as the two have already flashed their rapport during the offseason program, and Quentin Johnston, who is looking to take another step after leading the team in touchdowns.<\/p>\n
But the team also brought back Mike Williams and drafted Tre’ Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith this offseason, deepening the competition in the position room while also adding an explosive element.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s always great to have playmakers like that, guys that are able to stretch the field,” Herbert said. “They picked it up really quickly. It’s always tough learning a new offense and going through that process, but those guys have picked it up.”<\/p>\n
“Obviously, there are things we can continue to clean up through OTAs, but to have guys like that, it definitely opens up our offense,” Herbert later added.<\/p>\n
Training camp will be a big part of getting to where the offense wants to go, but another year in the same offensive system for Herbert could create an even more exciting unit in 2025.<\/p>\n
“I think we’ve made great strides this offseason. I would say that we’ve gotten a lot better,” Herbert said. “We’re continuing to put in this offense and master and do everything we can to fully understand it.<\/p>\n
“I think from that standpoint, we’re further ahead than where we were last year,” Herbert added. “There’s a lot of work to do and I think guys have done a great job this offseason of showing up mentally prepared and being focused day in and day out.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key Question: Does Herbert and the offense take a leap with new additions in Year 2 under Roman?…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[37,241,2820,7,34,38,1159,1014,262,2444,2443,6,2720,2721],"class_list":{"0":"post-173514","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-app-homepage","9":"tag-chargers","10":"tag-dj-uiagalelei","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-homepage-cp","13":"tag-homepage-headlines","14":"tag-justin-herbert","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","17":"tag-losangeles","18":"tag-losangeleschargers","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-taylor-heinicke","21":"tag-trey-lance"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114779192433340139","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
