Head Coach Kevin Stefanski
“I think what you start with their safety, some genuinely right game enthusiasts. No. 1, [Chargers OLB] Khalil Mack, who I actually have lengthy long past in competition to quite a piece as soon as I modified into with the Vikings and he modified into in Chicago. A very, very powerful football player. We done in competition to him very last season even as he modified into proper right here with the Bears. In the once more end, [Chargers S] Derwin James [,Jr.] I can show up anywhere. He can be the submit safety. He can be a half-area safety. He can play linebacker. He can play nickel. You genuinely want to apprehend wherein he`s. He is surely an active football player. I think he had 16 tackles in place of us very last season. A genuinely right football player. Multiple fronts. Multiple coverages. An The awesome organization.”
“Offensively, the No.1 byskip offense, just so gets your hobby right away. A outstanding quarterback [Chargers QB Justin Herbert], as all and sundry apprehend. A right more youthful quarterback. Accurate. Strong arm. Makes extraordinary decisions. Athletic. Still moving spherical genuinely well regardless of the injury, but you genuinely don`t see that affecting his play. Weapons on the perimeter. A genuinely right taking walks once more [Chargers RB Austin Ekeler] who can damage you in a bunch of numerous ways. A right tight end [Chargers TE Gerald Everett]. It is an tremendous organization at some point of the board. Sound specific corporations. Really getting to know this group right now, diving in and statistics some of the changes we are going to make on offense, safety and specific corporations in this game. Putting together plans so guys can pass play fast on Sunday.”
On how Herbert is particular this 365 days in assessment to once they faced in 2021:
“I think he is evolving, and he is getting better. I think more youthful game enthusiasts surely get better with an increasing number of reps. I see a more youthful man who sees it very clearly – huge, can see it from the pocket, can surely pressure every throw and can throw with anticipation and touch. They do a genuinely outstanding venture schematically in getting the ball out of his hands. He does now no longer take sacks. Then moving him on the pocket, max defensive and take some shots. [Chargers WR] Mike Williams, as we apprehend, is a very, outstanding tremendous receiver, and at some point of the board [Chargers WR] Keenan Allen, the tight end [Everett], it is a genuinely awesome organization.”
On if Mack is taking over a bigger characteristic on safety with Chargers OLB Joey Bosa on Injured Reserve:
“I do now no longer recognize that he has taken on a bigger characteristic. He is a extraordinary player. He is very, very powerful. Has exquisite bend. Plays hard. Very, outstanding at rushing the passer, as all and sundry apprehend. Has multiple moves. In the run game, can win at the thing of attack and can win as a chase player. He is a huge part of their safety, but he modified into from Day 1 even as he have been given there. Obviously, I apprehend Joey Bosa is out on IR, but Khalil Mack is a extraordinary player.”
On if the Browns secondary may be more locked in getting in competition to the Chargers No. 1-ranked passing attack, specially given the high-scoring game very last 365 days:
“Yeah, without a doubt. I think part of even as you’re playing this group, the Chargers, they pass fast. They pass fast, they get covered up and then they’ve got multiple shifts and motions. Getting aligned is genuinely important. It is doubly important even as you’re at home in our building, it truly is genuinely, genuinely loud even as we are on safety. All of that nonverbal conversation at home is genuinely important.
