Chargers OC On Plan For Justin Herbert: Run The Ball

Feb 23, 2024 9:13 AM

New Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman says that he is confident the team will establish a consistent running offense, which he expects to elevate Justin Herbert.

"Can you imagine Justin Herbert with a great running game?" Roman said. "... We don't know, but I can imagine what it might look like. So that's kind of the vision."

The Chargers haven't ranked inside the top 10 in rushing yards per game since 2007.

"I think in this league, you can really, really help dictate the defenses if you have a strong running attack," Roman said. "If you really talk to most defensive coordinators in this league and got 'em off to the side when they're playing a really good running team, they're sweating a little bit. They're sleeping a little less that week."
