I’m not going to liter Texans Talk with Justin Herbert JH10 so starting his own thread in National Football league forum. Tom Telesco selected Herbert #6 overall in the 2020 draft as the Chargers made decision to move on from much beloved Phillip Rivers, who never had a good offensive line to protect him.
Despite no training camp, due to covid, very little work with the 1’s, reportedly, due to a Medical blunder week two before the game with KC Chiefs (Tyrod Taylor, now starting Texan QB, lung was punctured trying relive pain to his rib cage). Herbert was told minutes before the game, he would be staring against the Super Bowl Champion.
Rest you could say is now history. Herbert won offensive rookie of the year honors and reset about every rookie passing record. Overcoming poor play calling and OL that ranked last in the NFL. Long story short, Chargers fired Head Coach Anthony Lynn and went on exhausting Head Coaching search of their own, surprising most by taking defensive minded, Brandon Staley, who Vegas odds are, as of today, shortest of any Coach to win NFL Coach of the Year, 12:1.
In Free Agency, TT (Tom Telesco) revamped the OL starting with former Packer and Aaron Rodgers Center, Corey Lindsay. Then he added two highly graded, PFF, OG’s Oday Aboushi (Detroit) and Matt Fieler (Pittsburgh) to flank him while selecting LT Rashawn Slatter in the first round. Everything is being built-out around centerpiece, Justin Herbert to ensure he reaches potential that everyone seems to think, the sky is the limit.
JH 10 has his 4th/5th playbook to learn in as many years now it’s going to be the Saints system with a mix of Green Bay and Shanahan 49ers under the guidance Joe Lombardi. Herbert will not only need to learn it but assimilate then make it his own. Leaving with this quote that caught my attention:
