Can the Chargers bounce back in Week 2 vs. the Raiders?

Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal dig into a Chargers team still reeling from an ugly Week 1 blowout loss to the Cardinals, and they don't sugarcoat it. They praise the outside tackles, Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, but question the interior of the line, from rookie center Jake Slaughter's rough debut to Cole Strange's poor performance at guard, and point to the absence of injured center Tyler Biadasz as a major loss. Money and Lorenzo dissect Justin Herbert's uncharacteristic miscommunications with his receivers, including a baffling deep shot to Derius Davis, and wonder whether Mike McDaniel's heavy pre-snap motion is overwhelming an offense still learning a new system. They also call out a defense that generated zero pass rush from Khalil Mack and got torched by Trey McBride, and they single out the blocked punt as an inexcusable special-teams breakdown. Looking ahead, both hosts expect the talented Chargers roster to bounce back against the Raiders in Week 2, even with Herbert and company now catching a favored double-digit-point spread.
