The Chargers are rolling into their matchup against the Broncos today with four rookies starting on their offensive line. You read that right: four. Just a week after going up against our Seahawks right here at Lumen Field, they’re throwing this kind of lineup out there for a division game.
Shaking Up The Trenches
Having four rookies on the O-line for any NFL game is a massive gamble, but for a divisional bout? That’s just wild. The Bolts From The Blue crew over in LA is already trying to “stack positivity as high as we can before reality comes crashing down.” That tells you everything you need to know about the confidence level heading into this one.
You have to wonder what kind of rhythm their offense, led by Justin Herbert, found last week when they were here in Seattle, and how in the world they’re going to keep it together with such a fresh group up front today. It’s a whole new world for them in the trenches.
After Lumen Field
It wasn’t even two weeks ago, October 4th, when Justin Herbert was on our turf, battling it out at Lumen Field. Now, just days later on October 11th, they’re facing the Broncos with this massive shake-up. The challenge of building cohesion and protecting their quarterback with that many new faces is immense, especially against a team that knows them well.
We’ll be watching to see how that offensive line handles business today. It’s a divisional game for them, so every single snap matters. You know we’re always pulling for the chaos, especially when it involves a team that just visited our turf in the Emerald City. Go ‘Hawks!
