San Diego's pass defense ranked 31st last year?

Why would they want all 11 starters back?

I believe, "you are what you are". But let's look at this more in depth.

The Chargers jumped out to an early lead in a bunch of games last year. Teams will be forced to pass on you most of the game. Now, I'm not saying that that alone was the reason. Their DBs were very weak, IMO. But that was a contributing factor.

We did not play a poor defense as some on other boards, that will remain nameless, want to say.

San Diego had the NFL's third-ranked running game last season, and JJ did fairly well against them.....93 yards.

Thanks, but I feel awfully "Artish" after posting that.

I actually looked that stat up because I didn't believe it. Still hard to believe you'd bring all 11 starters back.

The good news is they got all their players back.

The bad news? They got all their players back.
