Mike McDaniel’s Offense Is Failing Justin Herbert

Matt “Money” Smith and Lorenzo Neal sort through the wreckage of a 22-6 loss in Kansas City that sends the Chargers into the bye at 0-6. Money breaks down the patchwork offensive line and receiver room. He walks through the game-sealing fumble and a first-and-goal from the 1 that turned into a field goal, while Lorenzo calls for a back-to-basics “training camp” over the bye. Both hosts credit the defense and special teams for playing well enough to win, then debate whether the Chargers should sell at the trade deadline, starting with Khalil Mack. The biggest question is Mike McDaniel’s quick-game scheme. Money points out that Justin Herbert’s turnover rate has jumped from 1.7% to a league-worst 4.9% and argues the offense has to be rebuilt around Herbert’s arm. The guys also look ahead to a draft loaded with receivers like Jeremiah Smith, and to a post-bye matchup with the Rams.
