But wait, there’s more.
Pipkins is their backup tackle. He currently starts at RG.
He’ll move to LT and they’ll have backups at both RG and RT.
One side of their line will be reserves and 3 spots will be worse as a result.
Imagine losing Fisher and Schwartz in the same season. Then having to move Wylie to OT and Remmers at LT with a reserve at OG. Then give Mahomes a foot injury and playing a Super Bowl caliber team.
It sounds like Slater and Alt are definitely out. Nobody other than the Chargers think Herbert should play. The national guys are going after Harbaugh pretty hard. [Reply]

I want to see an absolutely relentless pass rush on Sunday from the Chiefs. [Reply]
Playing Herbert with an injury behind a non-existent OL seems like a bad idea but what do I know I'm not a genius like Harbaugh, seems like you're risking your season on the chance you beat KC. Like I get it that you need to win but it seems like you have a significant chance having of multiple losses resulting from this game [Reply]

Matt Ryan joined a 4-12 football team and it immediately went 11-5 with him as a rookie QB. He won an NFL MVP and quarterbacked a team to a SB (before his HC duffed it).
If you think Harbaugh being compared to Matt Ryan is some insult to Harbaugh, you simply don't understand how good Matt Ryan was. [Reply]

Spags could elect to completely overwhelm them with pressure if he wants.
Or, he could basically never call it and probably break tendencies for a week.
Defense will eat and stat pad.
I was about to mention this...there is not reason whatsoever not to blitz the ever-loving shit out of Herbert and bring the heat all day. The Steelers defense kicked their ass all day and that was when the chargers were at full strength. [Reply]

Before the Jaguars went on this skid, what difference is there between the NFL coaching careers of Harbaugh and Doug Pederson?
I don’t see much. A SB loss vs a SB win. Both guys apparently can’t play nice with ownership or their GMs.
A lot can happen in a short amount of time to change the perception of a coach, and if you don’t have a very long history of success, some turmoil and some losing is all it takes for people to put you on the trash list.
Harbaugh ain’t close to being immune from that. [Reply]
