Mike McDaniel needs to make adjustments if Chargers are going to let him keep his job

Writer G.C. Bellchamber argues that Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel must implement major scheme adjustments to preserve his job. Despite widespread speculation following a Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, McDaniel retained play-calling duties through the team's bye week. Bellchamber states that continuing with the current approach risks further damaging the offense and quarterback Justin Herbert's development.

The article contends that McDaniel must adapt his anticipatory passing system to better suit Herbert's natural skill set. Specifically, Bellchamber recommends providing more consistent underneath targets for Ladd McConkey and Tre' Harris. Additionally, the author urges McDaniel to simplify the ground attack by establishing Omarion Hampton as a traditional, between-the-tackles lead running back.
