The Chargers are counting on Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu to have a major impact as edge rushers and make the defense disruptive.
The Chargers were supposed to be good defensively under former head coach Brandon Staley. He had just coordinated the Rams’ defense to No. 1 in points and yards allowed when the Chargers hired him in January of 2021. Instead, Staley’s defenses underwhelmed in an imperfect storm of unyielding inconsistency, blown assignments and general disarray. In his just-short-of three seasons, the Chargers finished 29th, 21st and 24th in points allowed and 23rd, 20th and 28th in yards surrendered.
But where we can take a big step forward is utilizing those edge guys in a way to create disruption and wreck havoc in the backfield.” In Mack, Bosa and Dupree, the Chargers have 27 NFL seasons and 221.5 career sacks. The addition of Dupree this month marked a notable commitment to building depth. Having played with Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Atlanta, Dupree said joining the Chargers was an “easy decision.
